To promote “Underdog”–the latest single off British band Kasabian’s brand new album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum–creative directors Phil and Steve (no last names given) conceived a giant (three stories high) Guitar Hero-like game controlled with footballs.

They rounded up some of the most talented, young freestyle footballers from around England and filmed them kicking balls at sensors made from torn apart Guitar Hero controllers.

Each of the brightly colored targets have pressure sensors embedded in them, and are attached via numerous wires to a computer that detects vibrations upon contact.

What’s amazing is that after about an hour of practice, the footballers we’re able to score a 76% accuracy ratio. Wow!

Check out the equally interesting making-of video after the jump.
