What are some examples of good videogames that are literally advertisements? I just read Pic related and it makes me want to see if vidya can do something as fun while still trying to shill me their product.
Hard mode No Burger king pocket bike racing

I read that once. It was far too much commercial and masturbation about their slogans to be considered good. Felt like an advertisement with a story poorly tacked onto it rather than a story that also tried to advertise something.

Pokemon are technically advertisements for their third "better" version a year down the line.
A ton of JRPGs do it to.

If that counts as advertisement, then super smash bros is the king and tyrant of ad games.

Rent-A-Hero No. 1 is pretty fun and is just a massive advertisement for SEGA. If you've got a modded xbox you can play the finished but never released American version, or you could play the Mega Drive/Genesis fan translation.

this is what comics were meant to be, really fucking stupid without trying to make much of a statement. cut out the advertising and you have a perfect comic.

The last few gens have finally managed to have decent Transformers games.
For some reason other media have had better success with ads masquerading as other materials. Things like Transformers, GI Joe, Masters of the Universe, My Little Pony, all big multimedia successes that were made entirely to sell toys. But Transformers is the only one that has had video games that are even close to mediocre, even though you'd think things like GI Joe and Masters of the Universe would very easily translate into shooters and hack and slash games.

You are thinking of Marvel. Many of the most powerful heroes in DC are anti Marxist conservatives.

Speaking of Hot Wheels, I remember Turbo Racing being a damn good game. I can only imagine how many of the unlockables would have just been DLC in the modern day.

that Doom wad was made to train the troops in basic tactics and to reduce hesitation. You're thinking of America's Army
fun fact: America's Army was not created as a recruitment tool but as an anti-recruitment tool. Right from the start they actually wanted to weed out the hopeless cases who thought military FPS's were the shit and wanted to join for some action. To this end, it depicts genuine bootcamp life and actually has some very nice tutorials on how to dress a combat wound and other neat shit like that

and since we're on the subject, Full Spectrum Warrior
FSW was originally created as a team tactics coordination simulator. The military version is harder and tedious as hell, and can be unlocked in the commercial version

For the same reason toy driven cartoons are better than other cartoons
To sell something, you have to make it desirable. If a character isn't awesome, the action figure wont sell. If the Colonel isn't awesome, his chicken wont sell.
I wonder if there are any plans for creepy Japanese colonel's curse Sanders
