The advert features several monsters being interviewed about [[Sir Dan]], the skeletal protagonist of ''MediEvil''. “Skinny guy, one eyeball... disgusting,” says [[Frankenstein]], drinking a beer in Budapest. “Odd fellow, clubbing [[zombies]] with [[chicken drumstick]]s,” says the [[Mummy]], clipping hedges in Bath, England. “Always babbling about honor and stuff... so somebody woke you up from the dead to fight the forces of evil. Big deal!” says a [[Cambridge]] [[ghost]]. This is interspersed with footage from the game itself. | The advert features several monsters being interviewed about [[Sir Dan]], the skeletal protagonist of ''MediEvil''. “Skinny guy, one eyeball... disgusting,” says [[Frankenstein]], drinking a beer in Budapest. “Odd fellow, clubbing [[zombies]] with [[chicken drumstick]]s,” says the [[Mummy]], clipping hedges in Bath, England. “Always babbling about honor and stuff... so somebody woke you up from the dead to fight the forces of evil.
