Fans of Guitar Hero can now experience the wonderful Guitar Hero III demo with every purchase of Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground on Xbox 360. The demo of the popular rhythm game will feature five songs - Lay Down by Priestess, Even Flow by Pearl Jam, The Metal by Tenacious D, Hit Me with your Best Shot as made famous by Pat Benatar and Rock You like a Hurricane as made famous by Scorpions.
What’s this I see? A playable track from Tenacious D? That’s sounds great for fans of Jack Black.
It’s interesting to see Activision employing this tactic to in order to shift more copies of Tony Hawk’s skateboarding adventure. But the same can’t be said for the PlayStation 3… Nevertheless, the title will be available on sale on October 9th - two weeks before the same demo is on Xbox Live Marketplace. So what better way then to practice the new tracks on Desert Rock Tour stage with a bit of grinding action?
