Over at MTVNews.com today I got a chance to debut the soundtrack for October's "Tony Hawk Proving Ground."
We also have a couple of screenshots that show off the game's not-so-secret unlockable character: the Beastie Boys' MCA. The rapper joins Travis Barker, Darth Maul and Spider-Man among the characters accessible in the long line of Tony Hawk games.
Can anyone tell me if unlockable video game characters are really meant to be played for extended periods of time? Or do gamers prefer to unlock them, play them a bit for laughs, and then go back to the regular cast? I ask because I don't think I've unlocked a hidden character in any game since ... maybe ... "Super Smash Brothers Melee." Does that even count?
Click through at the link above to see the 54-song "Proving Ground" track list and the MCA shots. It looks like he's going to skateboard on the moon! Makes me think of the last levels in "Blast Corps."
