Sega’s latest speed-infused shooter is upon us and as part of the marketing drive they’ve put together this imaginative little version of the launch trailer. Just input your date of birth to get around the age-gate then give it your postcode. Then you might want to keep your head down.
For those of you who are out of the loop on this one, Vanquish is Sega’s latest. It’s a third-person shooter which might be described as Gears of War played in fast forward. We have a full review on the way so we’ll hold back our judgement until then but we can certainly say that it looks like a load of fast-paced, manic action fun. We’ve thrown some screenshots into this post too, just in case you fancy a look at it.
Let us know what you think of the trailer and the little trick it plays, in the comments. We’d love to know if this sort of thing is interesting to people or if it’s just those of us who geek out over creative marketing and viral campaigns that are seeing the attraction!

Didn’t work for me, just shows a grey screen where the image should be. I’ve posted some of the suggested post codes and get the same thing.

Superb use of Streetview, though it did show my car which was written off last week and is anything but outside my house.
Haven’t yet played the Vanquish demo but saw the preview on Firstplay, love the “transform-a-gun” thing.
