October 9th is the date for Tony Hawk's Proving Ground to arrive in stores. Today, Activision announces Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock video game demo to be packed in Proving Ground.
Players who purchase the Tony Hawk's Proving Ground game for the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft will get an exclusive two week head start on experiencing the demo to this year's hottest music based video game before its release on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace.
The demo will feature these five tracks:
- Lay Down (by Priestess)
- Even Flow (by Pearl Jam)
- The Metal (by Tenacious D)
- Hit Me with your Best Shot (as made famous by Pat Benatar)
- Rock You like a Hurricane (as made famous by Scorpions)
Both games are developed by Activision's Neversoft. "Music is such a huge part of skateboarding culture and pairing the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock demo with Tony Hawk's Proving Ground makes perfect sense," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. "We're excited to bring together two highly anticipated games and give fans their first chance to rock out with the franchise that's taken the world by storm."
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground features deeper customization than ever before, including a Video Editor with full-featured editing tools and visual effects for creating "epic skate videos," and a fully customizable online Skate Lounge where players can skate with friends in the ultimate pad. In addition, players will have the freedom to skate from single player to online seamlessly, as well as the ability to utilize new gameplay mechanics such as Nail the Manual and Nail the Grab, and the ability to modify the environment on the fly, as they enjoy the most expansive skating experience ever. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is scheduled for release October 9, and is rated "T" (Teen) by the ESRB. For more information visit http://www.thpgonline.com/.
Will this expand the sales of Tony Hawk now that you can get a bit of advancement on the GH3 craze?
