How to make a GTA trailer

Rockstar just released its first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (via its newly-opened website), and it features all the elements of previous GTA trailers. Let's see if we can spot the formula:

• Pop music contemporary to the game's era ... (Foreigner — "I want to know what love is")
• Over-the-top voice acting spouting over-the-top dialogue ... ("When will you grow a brain?")
• Montage of gun fights ...
• Multiple screens of the same video, reminiscent of Warhol or 80s music videos ... (see above)

It's a tried-and-true formula for a Grand Theft Auto, itself a tried-and-true formula. Video is embedded after the break, so judge for yourself.
