Electrnic Arts have announced that they have signed world-renowned DJ Paul Oakenfold to compose an original score for GoldenEye Rogue Agent. As well as the score, Oakenfold will create the game's overarching musical personality with hard-driving, rhythmic beats hand-crafted for every mission.

Oakenfold has enjoyed two decades of worldwide acclaim as one of the top dance and electronic music DJs. Since entering the world of theatrical music composition four years ago, Oakenfold has created scores and other musical contributions for such high-profile motion pictures as Get Carter (2000), Swordfish (2001), Planet of the Apes (2001), The Bourne Identity (2002), Austin Powers: Goldmember (2002), and The Matrix Reloaded (2003), as well as the theme song for the NBC TV show "Las Vegas."

"By allowing fans to step into the shoes of the 'bad guys', GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is the most exciting, cutting-edge episode of the Bond video game series to date," said Patrick Gilmore, Executive Producer at EALA. "We feel that to deliver a blockbuster entertainment experience, this game deserves a dynamic musical score and world-class production values that reflect the rebellious and original style of the game itself. We wanted the best of the best, and this lineup is just that."

The talent list for GoldenEye: Rogue Agent's also includes Christopher Lee, who reprises his role as the villainous Francisco Scaramanga from The Man with the Golden Gun and Judi Dench, who returns as M and has appeared in four of the James Bond films to date. Additionally, this action-packed title will feature character likenesses of such legendary Bond villains as Xenia Onatopp, forever remembered from the film GoldenEye, the legendary henchman Oddjob featured in Goldfinger, and the nefarious Dr. No from the film of the same name.

In GoldenEye: Rogue Agent players will get the chance to cross over to the dark side of the Bond universe to experience life as the cold-hearted villain. The game promises to seamlessly integrates single-player, multiplayer split-screen, and online gameplay both for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox. Featured game modes will include story-driven campaign missions, deathmatch-style simulator trials, and objective-based war games.

More as we get it.
