Rockstar Games and Interscope
Records have announced a joint venture for the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The details surrounding the artists and track listings on the soundtrack will be kept
tightly under wraps until the weeks leading up to the game's launch on October 19, 2004 for
the PlayStation 2.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas takes place in the early 1990's in
a fictional west coast setting, so fans of the blockbuster series can expect the soundtrack
to cover the full spectrum of music genres and reflect the sound, vibe and feel of the FM
radio dial from that time period, stated Terry Donovan, CEO of Rockstar
Games.
Developed by Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the next
installment in the blockbuster franchise that has redefined interactive entertainment and
has exceeded 32 million units in total worldwide sales
to-date.
