Black Box, an Electronic Arts studio, today revealed the soundtracks
that will power the award-winning Skate It and Skate 2.
These two skateboarding games bring the sport’s
 incredible
tricks, epic moves and high energy to gamers with all of the fun –
and none of the bruises! The fifty-two featured songs are from some
of music's most influential and celebrated artists including Black
Sabbath, Public Enemy, Judas Priest and Wu Tang Clan.
“The soundtracks for Skate It and Skate 2 builds upon
last year’s critically acclaimed Skate soundtrack, “ said
Chris Parry, Associate Producer. “The songs reflect the culture of
skateboarding, with some tracks picked by the pros themselves, and
others coming straight out of iconic skate videos. Skateboarding
today is an eclectic mix of people and influences and this is true
of where we took this year’s soundtracks. Look for some old school
soul and funk, a few rock anthems, some good beats and a lot of
classic punk!”
“Skateboarding culture is like no other culture in the world and
with that comes a unique sound of its own," said Steve Schnur,
worldwide executive of music and marketing. “Our goal was to create
two soundtracks that bring together classic acts and explosive new
bands while fearlessly crossing all genres. This soundtrack is truly
a tribute to the skate lifestyle, where legendary tracks by The
Clash, Judas Priest and WAR can stand alongside cult legends like
Dayton Sidewinders and The Specials as well as groundbreaking new
acts like Awesome Snakes and Money Your Love.”
Skate It and Skate 2 continue to deepen and expand the
breadth of the Skate franchise. Skate It, a recent recipient
of 2008’s Best Wii Game award at the German Games Convention in
Leipzig, brings the fun and soul of skateboarding to the Wii and the
NintendoDS. Skate 2 lets players flaunt their style like
never before with double the bag of tricks on the PLAYSTATION3
system and the Xbox360.
