Review:
It may be somewhat pointless to review this CD because it comes included with the
game itself, but it can serve as an example of how a great sound track can get
a "C" rating.
This is a good soundtrack, and many of the tracks on the
CD are fun to listen to. What makes this CD a "C" as opposed to a "B" or an "A"
CD is it's lack of focus. Although the sound track is overall classical in nature,
some of its best tracks are not classical, such as the battle and the boss battle
themes which contain some electric guitar work. The track Holding On
(Lemina's Theme) sounds like 50's pop music. The music on the CD doesn't seem to
fit together which I blame mainly on the use of real instruments rather than the
synth used in the game. Yes, the CD is not actually the music from the game itself,
but rather the music from the game on real instruments, or at least a better sound
font. While I like the way some of the tracks sound on the CD better than in the actual
game, most of them sound worse, and the CD as a whole becomes a series of disconnected
songs. If they had left the music the way it was in the game, this CD might have made
it up to "B" level. In the end, however, I can only recommend this to people who
liked the music when they played through the game.
Final Rating: C
