Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack Review

The main objective of a videogame soundtrack is completely fulfilled in this piece of art, where great pacing, exquisite choice of instruments, and powerful melodies merge together for an outstanding result.

Agreed, the music in Halo games are phenomenal. No other FPS has had such a great composition.

RedDead5340d ago

Agree with that, Halo Music > every shooter

Downtown boogey5340d ago (Edited 5340d ago )

I still think Halo 1-3 have the best soundtracks ever in gaming.

RedDead5340d ago (Edited 5340d ago )

I have a few games above it in terms of music. Final Fantasies( a few of them), MGS 1,2,3 and I think that's all actually...a few morre J-rpgs maybe, Japanese Game music is by far the best though/

Edit---there's one brillant part in H3 though, your driving either a warthog or tank driving on a cliff, you come over this little hill and just when that happens the music kicks in. There's 2 scarab tanks sitting on front of you. It's just before you fight the 2 scarabs in the hornets The music fits in perfect anyway

TROLL EATER5340d ago

another masterpiece by marty

Downtown boogey5340d ago

Are you SERIOUS!!??
It's a freaking disgrace compared to the other Halos! It had NO new memorable themes whereas the older Halos had a plurality. It doesn't sound 'Halo' per se and what it tries to sound like is just bad in the end.
I truthfully found it to be quite terrible...
Just compare this http://www.youtube.com/watc...
to THIS http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I agree! Where's my Halo deep Africa music? The game was very similar to part one but lacking in that one area. Transformers the movie and game pulled the same thing.

Not as good as the other one imo, H3 had the best I thought

Downtown boogey5340d ago

gillri5340d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion871d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad871d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90871d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183871d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90871d ago (Edited 871d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde871d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90870d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde870d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator871d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13870d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183870d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken956d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar955d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos955d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP956d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken956d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149956d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE956d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341955d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90955d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos955d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90955d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai955d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
