Video Gaming News - January 2005
Redwood City, CA (January 20, 2005) - Electronic Arts today announced
the in-game soundtrack for NBA Street V3. The game features 13 hip-hop and rap
tracks.
From EA:
In NBA STREET V3, the Grammy-nominated rappers take their antics
beyond the soundtrack and step into the game itself. Decked out in gear from
their hometown New York Knicks, Mike D, MCA and Adrock are unlockable characters
in V3, and each has skills that help the Boys own the court. Face off against
Beastie Boys in NYC’s Dyckman Park in NBA STREET V3’s “STREET Challenge” mode,
and if you win you unlock them for all modes of the game, including regular
3-on-3 action and the all-new Slam Dunk Contest.
Beastie Boys lead a line-up of hard-hitting, high-energy music that has been
hand-selected to keep the action jumping. The in-game soundtrack for NBA STREET
V3 also features hot tracks from Elephant Man, Guerilla Black and old school
favorites, De La Soul, House of Pain and MC Lyte.
The songs in the games are selected by EA™ TRAX - the music initiative that EA
debuted in 2001. The program is dedicated to bringing gamers today’s best music
through EA’s videogames.
"Once again, EA TRAX delivers the ultimate in game music. Beastie Boys are among
the most influential artists of all time, and their participation in NBA STREET
V3 represents an unprecedented new coming-together of hip-hop, basketball and
videogame culture," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music at EA.
