Highly Anticipated Game Features Hit Songs From Top Artists
Including Big Boi, Ludacris, T.I. and More
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2007--Electronic
Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS), in partnership with Def Jam Interactive, announced
today the complete track listing in DEF JAM: ICON™ for the
PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360™
video game and entertainment system. Infusing hip-hop music into the
gameplay, DEF JAM: ICON features a play list of 29 tracks from
prominent artists such as The Game, Lil Jon and Young Jeezy, to name a
few.
Incorporating hip-hop lifestyle and music into every aspect of the
game, DEF JAM: ICON delivers the intensity of a no-holds-barred street
fight but with style and rhythm. Music affects how players fight in
each environment and avoiding hazards become a key strategy to staying
alive.
DEF JAM: ICON also features an exclusive My Soundtrack mode for
the Xbox 360 allowing players to load any MP3 into the game and it
will drive the environment and game play just like songs already
included on the game's soundtrack. Gamers can now fight to the beat
with any song using My Soundtrack.
Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at
EA commented, "DEF JAM: ICON is the pinnacle of interactive music
entertainment. For years, we have been leading the way in game
soundtracks and this year we take it to an all new level with the
fully interactive DEF JAM: ICON soundtrack. It is a real breakthrough
that will forever change the relationship between music and gameplay."
"The Def Jam Interactive/EA partnership continues to be one
centered around innovation. For the first time in any video game, the
music is completely interactive. DEF JAM: ICON allows players to use
these songs, as opposed to playing them in the background. And not
only is there an incomparable soundtrack of today and tomorrow's
hottest music, but now we guarantee the player with an authentic
hip-hop lifestyle experience", said Lauren Wirtzer, Vice President of
Marketing, Def Jam Enterprises.
