SKATE’s unique control scheme captures the true feel of skating versus the typical button mashing gameplay of past skating games. Featuring physics-driven animations, gamers will have a unique gaming experience every time they pick up the controller since no two tricks will ever be the same.

SKATE boasts 45 songs from some of the most influential and celebrated artists including David Bowie, Nirvana, N.W.A. and The Ramones. The game also features 18 exclusive tracks from mixing mastermind XXXChange, skateboarding's very own legend, Tommy Guerrero, as well as other world renowned DJs.

"The soundtrack for SKATE is a direct reflection of true outlaw skateboard culture," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing at EA. "It's a throwback to the days of underground skateboard videos when skaters created their own soundtracks that raided every genre of music. In that spirit, we talked to hardcore skaters around the country to help pick many of the songs for SKATE. Real recognizes real, and this soundtrack is a straight-up tribute to a culture like no other."

SKATE is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative Flickit controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, SKATE delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame. Players will explore, find, and own the best spots in the fictitious city of San Vanelona while listening to a soundtrack that'll get them up and moving. As they cruise through this enormous city, players will capture footage to show off their own style with friends across the world.
