Life-size Pac-Man Super Bowl Ad

Every year once the Super Bowl comes around companies like to drop huge amount of money on ads. 99% of the time these ads are generally really cool to look at or bloody hilarious. Either way it is usually quite a fun time just watching the Super Bowl ads. This ad is definitely cool and that i would totally be up for doing it if it actually existed. It is a 90-second ad entitled “Coin” in which a guy and his buddies drop an enormous quarter right into a slot on the side of a road. This will make them enter into what appears like a life-sized neon Pac-Man rave also it appears like a lot of fun.

This edition comes with improved graphics, cross-platform saved games and four-way split-screen cooperative action. However the Claptrap-in-a-box Edition is the one we will take a look at. Not since it costs $399 but because you get a functioning robot by using it.
