Gears Of War 3 The Soundtrack

 (8 customer reviews)

For anyone potentially purchasing this CD, ask yourself something:

Do you like the music in Gears of War 3?

If the answer is "yes," then you can stop reading and just make the purchase. Every musical piece you hear in the game is heard here.

If you haven't played Gears 3 but have played Gears 2 and enjoyed the music, buy this. It retains the focus and instrumentation of Gears 2 (and the original) and stands tall when compared to the previous soundtracks.

In terms of what you are given, you are given all of the tracks, 31 to be exact, in CD quality audio. The booklet included with the CD is pretty limited, basically listing credits and song titles and nothing more, which is unfortunate but as nothing extra, like interviews with Steve Jablonsky the composer, was included in the first two CD releases there wasn't any reason to believe there would be anything included with this release either. It is still disappointing though.

'Gears Keep Turning' and 'Finally A Tomorrow' are the best songs on this album. I love how they've added in a choir to work in with the deep sounding movie style of the orchestra. Gives the few songs they appear in an epic kind of feel. Each Gears of War Soundtrack has been really good and like with each game they've merely improved them. This one was brilliant! I highly recommend it to any Gears fan interested in this type of music. It fitted the events of Gears 3 perfectly.

I have all the other Gears of War scores, and this one is right up there with the other 2. Perfect balance makes you feel the game play and storyline as you listen. I recommend it to everyone who loves this type of music you won't be disappointed. Gears of War is seriously Epic.
