 This has a Jamie Hewlett vibe and is actually kind of cool. I love properly animated intros like this and of course The Beatles: Rock Band.  
 
Despite being a pasty white nerd with no rhythm or dancing ability, I really want to play this game.

As always, fantastic art style.  Watching this makes me want to play the game without even knowing what it is.
Also, the motorcyclist looks like RAAAAAAAAIIIIN!  *shakes fist*

Is this art done by the same person/people who do the Gorillaz animation?

Jesus Christ. We get it. You have no interest in this game. I've read your comments on Dance Central before. I honestly don't understand why you feel the need to comment  on something you don't care about.
1. I don't think they were ever just marketing Dance Central to geeks and core gamers. That would be stupid.
2. Plenty of straight, male geeks are into Rhythm games, including dance games. Lots of us played the shit out of DDR. Lots of us like pop music. Some of us even sometimes go to dance clubs. Quit laboring under the illusion that all gamers and geeks have the same tastes and that those tastes are exactly the same as yours.

@Driadon:  I got the same feel, Jet Set Radio meets Jamie Hewlett/Peter Cheung. Shame I don't like the music.

In the extended version, the motorcyclist gets mauled by a bear right after the logo fades.

From now on, the only real way to enter the dancefloor, is on a motorcycle.

Me too the style was really cool and went really well with the beat. The weird thing is it doesn't feel like an intro to a game but more just like a music video but hey cool video either way.

That art style looks really familiar.  I think I remember this artist posting on drawingboard.org several years back.  Looks like he's finally made it.  :D

LIke the Aeon Flux meets Tank Girl vibe to this ...
 
Following a previous post, could a Dreamcast / SEGA collection work on the Kinect? Jet Set, Chu Chu and even Crazy Taxi are simple enough to work with gesture alone going by the launch titles. Older games like Space Harrier and Outrun also fit the style. If they can get Panzer Dragoon right, I can't see why not.
