“With Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground, we are giving gamers the chance to express their personal style like never before,” said Joel Jewett, president, Neversoft Entertainment. “They can do everything from skating the way they want, and producing their own classic videos, all the way to pulling-off the newest Nail the Trick maneuvers and tricking out their skate lounge to hang-out with friends.”

Set in the streets of Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground features an arsenal of amazingly detailed Nail the Trick moves, including Nail the Grab and Nail the Manual for total board control, and new gameplay mechanics like skateable terrain building and the Aggro Kick for intense action. In addition, the title enables gamers to seamlessly skate from single player to multiplayer online.

The title also features a booming soundtrack with more than 50 tracks from the likes of Bloc Party, Foo Fighters, Jurassic 5, Nirvana, the Rolling Stones, Slick Rick and more. Additionally, on the game disc, Xbox 360 enthusiasts will have the opportunity to play a demo of 5 songs from this year’s hottest music based video game, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The title, which is also being developed by Neversoft, will hit retail stores on October 28.
