Customer Reviews
Chainsawin' time!
The soundtrack of Gears of War 2 is memorable, causing you to recount the endless confrontations with the Locust and the triumphs as well as the defeats as you battled it out in the campaign. However as you may have noticed the soundtrack is a complete new version compared to the original Gear's composed by Kevin Riepl. You listen to a polished soundtrack composed by Hollywood composer Steve Jablonsky (Transformers, The Island) and recorded with the Skywalker Symphonic Orchestra and Chorus at the world famous Skywalker Sound hitting the bull's eye time after time at making a soundtrack that adds to the player wanting to finnish the campaign multiple times.
It consists of all 27 tracks used throughout the campaign and will move you as you listen to them at certain times. Highly recommended if you loved the games and enjoy video game soundtracks, because this doesn't disappoint.
A Masterpiece.
I first found out that s. jablonsky was doing the score for Gears of War 2 about a week before the game was released. I was like "whoa, he did the score for Transformers and The Island." I really enjoy music similar to jablonsky's style like "Hans Zimmer", and "Harry-Gregson Williams". When i played through the game the music was very moving, and acted as a character itself along the journey instead of just BGM. It really polished the whole feel of Gears of War 2 with its epic storyline, visuals, and action.
The whole album is great, but here are some of my favorites that stand out:
2- Hope Runs Deep
I just like it.
6- Armored Prayer
Good intro, then gets rolling with thunder. Makes you feel you can take on the locusts alone.
18- March of the Horde
A strong piece i like. Pretty much what the track title states.
21- With Sympathy
One of the more memorable moments of the game. When Dom is reunited with Maria. Almost makes you wanna cry. NOHOMO
Overall, this album is a must have for any jablonsky fan like myself. He does a great job by keeping the main theme from the first GoW and revamping it to epic status. Having played through the game, makes it even better so you can relive those moments through the music. Jablonsky has done it again. A+
Inspiring
Seriously brilliant!!! one of the greatest soundtracks for a video game. A soundtrack that would suit the greatest of movies.
The tracks are inspiring and seriously powering!
