As you can see in the video above, it provides plenty of areas to get your shred on. One of the things we like about this DLC is its lack of vert areas. We're street skaters here at The Stiq.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/">Skate 2 DLC Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Plaza</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372541"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/enviro-inside10_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372540"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/enviro-inside2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372539"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_fscrook1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372538"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_crook2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372537"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_crook1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/21/take-a-video-tour-of-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza-in-skate-2/">Take a video tour of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Plaza in Skate 2</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 21 Feb 2009 02:00:00 EST.

Update: EA has dished out some screens for the DLC. Hit up the gallery below to check them out.<br /><br />Unless you wanted to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/22/underachievement-ea-selling-unlock-everything-dlc-for-skate-2/">unlock everything the easy way</a> or <a href="http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/01/29/free-lotr-conquest-dlc-not-so-free-skate-2-content/">cut some awesome videos</a>, there hasn't been much support in the way of DLC for us <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/skate-2"><em>Skate 2</em></a> fans. That is, until now, as EA has unveiled Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Plaza for the game.<br /><br />The new bit of DLC is available today on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/psn">PSN</a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/xblm">XBLM</a> for $5.00 and 400<img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" />, respectively, and allows skaters to blunt slide and manual around the centerpiece of Rob's MTV show, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/fantasy_factory/series.jhtml"><em>Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory</em></a>, as well as the surrounding downtown Los Angeles area. Rob was pretty impressed with Black Box's job of recreating the space in the game, as he comments it has all of "the ledges, gaps and rails" of his showpiece, and "more surprises outside the park that both gamers and skaters will enjoy<em>."</em><br /><br />So who's going to shred up Rob's Fantasy Plaza?<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/">Skate 2 DLC Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Plaza</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372541"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/enviro-inside10_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372540"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/enviro-inside2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372539"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_fscrook1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372538"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_crook2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/skate-2-dlc-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza/#1372537"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/02/dyrdek_crook1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/19/skate-2-introduces-rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-plaza-dlc/">Skate 2 introduces 'Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Plaza' DLC [update]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:40:00 EST.
