@ookamiwarrior:  I hated Linkin Park from the beginning but I admit the game looks oddly interesting.

Such an ego stroke.  Also, is only the music 8-bit?

*sigh*...what
 
After actually watching the 'trailer', the underlining idea is actually pretty cool. Why Linkin Park is so invested, however, is still a question.

If this is real, and I PRAY it is, I hope that 1-1 involves sneaking out of your parents house to go to a local venue where Linkin Park are playing a show. Just as Chester (thats right, I know his name) is explaining that the government is putting you down, they roll up to put an end to the concert! But Linkin Park wont be silenced that easily, and together you fight your way to the top to bring down these oppressors. Throw in a pit stop to Hot Topic to 'gear up for the fight' before levels and a few text bubbles that say things like "Teen Angst!" and "Daddy Issues!" when you strike military thugs with your wallet chain and  you have yourself GoTY.  
 
But I know better. It is one damn good April Fool's.

Damn, why does this video feel like a youtube fanboy parody? Probably because it's too good to be true! Now I can finally turn Linkin Park's world into my gaming reality!!!!

Nice one, guys. Pulling a Game Informer.  
 
This is a joke, right?

It's nice of them to show off their low framerates and poor hit detection in the trailer.

Not since Revolution X has there been a more stupid idea for a video game based on a popular rock band!

Linkin Park apparently creates shitty worlds. 
 
Seriously, these doods are multi-multi-multi millionaires, right?  They could've done ANYTHING... 
 
...and they did THIS? 
 
Even Marc Ecko is saying "what the fuck" at this one! 
 
Also, I dig Linkin Park up until Minutes to Midnight.  Meteora was a fucking great album.

Really want to hate this, but I love how far they took it.  
 
More thought was put into this then some of the other band related apps or games on iPhone/iPod Touch.

Linkin Park? Really?  
 
...Really? 
 
Also, the game's art design looks sickeningly mediocre and soulless.

I have to say this, I used to love Linkin Park and still listen to all their old songs but Minutes to Midnight did not quite cut it for me... And I dropped off the bandwagon soon after. 
 
Still, I will buy this because of the obvious dedication Linkin Park is showing. And Blackbird sounds awesome.
