Free Music Notes for Halo Wars / Game O.S.T.
Free Music Review: New World, New Sound = Great Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Just like other reviewers, this isn't exactly what I expected (actually I didn't know what to expect) but by no means is that a bad thing in this case. With a title like Halo Wars, not to mention the hype and previews behind it before it came out, one might expect an epic blast of war scores reminiscent of Halo 3. However, that's not the case here. The fact is that this is a drastically different sounding score due to two main factors: Bungie's Martin O'Donell wasn't behind this game's production, and its a strategy game, not a FPS.
Personally, I am more partial to liking softer, more ambient music that comes from soundtracks, and being that this is a strategy game, there are a lot of moments where action is slow and you are building things and exploring the stage rather then fighting hordes of Covenant, so the music is appropriate. The sound created has a kind of mystical sci-fi feel, which fits the story of Halo and sets the mood very well. Also, while being noticeably different from the previous Halo music, Halo Wars still holds true to some of the original themes, and incorporates them well into the newer music perfectly. The handful of action themes that are in here are pretty good for the most, although some are skippable.
I highly recommend this soundtrack for anyone who enjoys score music, or at the very least those who are fans of Halo. Regardless of what you enjoy this is good music, and its definitely a good buy, especially given the number of tracks. I love it,
