Summary

The advert features several monsters bring 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 drumsticks,” 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 followed by footage from the game itself.
