ThunderFox on Genesis - Advertisement Review

Ladies and gentlemen (actually, pretty much just ladies), I give you the one thing that the terrorists of this world are scared of, the one thing that is going to make them shake in their caves ... shirtless steroid queens! I'm not sure whether this is a picture for a video game or the sexiest romance novel about terrorists Strapless Publishing has ever released. Who knew going after Ayman Al Zawahiri would be so damn sexy?

The one thing that troubles me about this advertisement is the guy in front, the shirtless guy in the middle holding two extremely large guns (over compensating?). I look at him and I see Jeff Daniels ... if the dude decided to get on the same fitness plan as Barry Bonds. It's a shame ThunderFox wasn't a bigger hit, perhaps Jeff Daniels would have had a reason to be in an action film (well, except for Speed).

Perhaps part of the problem is that silly slogan, "Lightning Strikes." Yeah, I know the name of the game is ThunderFox, but that doesn't mean you have to get all punny on us now. And just incase "Lightning Strikes" and "ThunderFox" don't do the game justice, off to the side this advert reminds you that there will be "Explosive Action." And don't forget those "14 Different Foes to Fight," because 13 is too few and 15 is too many. Thank god Taito's slogan isn't accurate; if this really was "The Only Game In Town" you can bet I would have committed suicide long ago.
