Iron Maiden | Flight 666 (Advergame)

irongame.jpg

Independente de se eu gosto ou não de uma banda ou um músico específico, tenho o costume de comentar sobre o que está sendo feito em relação à comunicação, tecnologia e interatividade para promovê-los. Ontem falei no INvertido sobre o campeonato de Realidade Aumentada que tá rolando entre os fãs do rapper americano Eminem. Já hoje, aqui no ADivertido, pra sair um pouco da “caixa” com anúncios, campanhas e hotsites legais, escrevo sobre o advergame que a EMI lançou para promover o lançamento do DVD de “Flight 666“: um filme-documentário que mostra o início da turnê “Somewhere Back In Time“, do sexteto Iron Maiden, descrita como a “mais ousada da carreira do Iron Maiden”.

O game é uma simulação onde o usuário é o piloto do Boeing 757, chamado “Ed Force One“, customizado com o logo da banda, e guiado pelo vocalista do grupo, Bruce Dickinson, que é piloto profissional. É como se fosse o mesmo Boing que levou a banda nesta turnê.

Conforme o jogador vai avançando no jogo, trechos do filme vão sendo destravados. Boas pontuações também podem dar ao jogador alguns prêmios. Se você ficou curioso para saber mais sobre o “Flight 666″, assista o trailer:
