The Passenger by Nokia

Nokia

In The passenger, Nokia shows a new way for users to control and interact with video on the web. This live-action driving game, shot on film in the dark streets of Paris, put you in the drivers seat to navigate around the city to specific destinations. It was created to support Nokia’s push to be part of the growing in-car communications market with the Nokia Multimedia Car Kit CK-20W.

It’s a pretty engaging and lifelike experience that demos the product well in a James-Bond-in-Paris sort of way. If you drive the wrong way, you’ll find yourself insulted by the the rude Femme Fatal in your passenger seat. Despite driving way to fast and taking 90 degree corners I didn’t crash the car although I was subjected to a few insults from my passenger.
