Tony Hawk’s latest in his long running videogame series is on it’s way to retail shelves today. Tony Hawk Proving Grounds delivers deeper customization than ever before, empowering players with the freedom to define their character and story based on the choices they make, the paths they skate and the style they want. In addition, the game features a fully-loaded video editor, complete with editing tools and a visual effects suite to create epic skate videos, and a customizable skate lounge where players can skate with friends online in the ultimate, personalized pad.

“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.”

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.
