Summary: Amazing videogame with amazing soundtrack. 2008-10-05
Comment: I purchased this soundratk after several hours playing hte 2006 GOTY. This videogame has a thrilling atmosphere, I think that the music has a very important role in the game.
This sountrack contains every song you could listen in the game, the only song that isn't included has been the credit vocal song.
I'm very satisfied with my item, If you love "Gears Of War" you'll love this original soundtrack too.

Summary: No good without the game 2008-07-31
Comment: I'm honestly a bit conflicted when rating this soundtrack. On the one hand, it goes really well with the action in the game, and in fact adds to the experience 3 fold while playing. On the other hand, while I do think that the music was done well, I don't think its worth listening to at your leisure. This is a straight action packed, shoot-em-up type game with very little pause in between. As such, there is a lot of action based music on here. As a matter a fact, probably all but 2 or 3 tracks are like that. While this is not exactly a bad thing, for those who are like myself, who prefer a little more variety in a score, this can get very tired very quickly. I just happened to have a friend who has it so i burned a copy for myself, and boy I'm glad I didn't pay for this cuz I'd have been mad. Then again, this is just my opinion. I'm not denouncing the music in general, I just wouldn't wanna hear it outside the game.

Summary: Nice! 2008-06-10
Comment: To me, the music was the best part of the game. It really ratcheted up the exitement. After humming the songs all the time, I found the soundtrack and bought it. It has a lot of tracks. Listening without the game only shows that the music is really good. The bombastic numbers remind me of movie soundtracks like The Chronicles of Riddick or Star Trek II.

Summary: 4.5... Propulsive, kinetic... 2008-03-11
Comment: and extremely heavy on atmosphere. There are identifiable themes but they are more often than not subsumed by atmospheric washes and zings. An extremely well engineered, mixed and mastered album. I was also very surprised by the minimal use of electronic percussive elements used, the composers/engineers appearing to opt for sampling acoustic elements and treating them to provide the percussive tones. Very reminiscent of the tenser moments in Goldsmith's "Aliens" or even Silverstri's "Predator" soundtrack. If A GoW movie ever gets made I'd like to see Riepl get the nod as composer, and maybe he could concentrate on a few more identifiably heroic sounding themes (as no doubt he would be required to do so as films are entirely different beasts than games).
