This is a good soundtrack, it is an incredible game which it goes with, and "Regenerador" still makes me shiver and look around for a place to hide. It's just that creepy a song. The soundtrack will be instantly recognizable to a RE4 player, but if you don't have the game and thought the music would be cool, don't buy this instead of something you really want. it's a must ahve for a lover of the game, but if you just want it for the music, make sure it's cash you can burn, because only 1/3 or so of the songs are actually good on their own, without remembering the game to back them up.

I am a HUGE RE4 fan and by far it is the best RE game. The soundtrack adds to the experience. It would be a different game if it didn't ave these sounds in the background. As I listen to the tracks I can see in my mind where I was in the game at the time. My favorite was the one where you just entered the village and the locals are onto you. I can still feel the walls around me in the room I hunkered down in blasting away at them until I killed enough to hear the church bells calling the villagers back to their hidding places. Excellent CD.

I think this is one of those cases when you play a fantastic game a long time ago, and the music is better in your memory then it is in reality. As much as I hate to say that about a RE game, that seems to be the case. One reviewer called the soundtrack repetitive, and I think thats a very good word to summarize it.

While I do like the music in RE4, I do think that it is the least creative of the series thus far, at least musically. In the past installments, there have been beautifully composed pieces that fill a majority of the soundtrack, (action cuts, calming cuts, suspenseful cuts and so on). This one is pretty much the same all the way through; eerie ambient tracks. Minus about five or six tracks that are more musical, most of it is the creepy, dark stuff, which is cool, just not to listen to for an hour an a half without the game behind it.

Bottom line, I'd get this if you are a die hard RE fan, and your into the whole collecting thing. If your not that, then this might not be worth the coin to buy, especially new.

FIRST OFF, RESIDENT EVIL 4 IS IN MY TOP FIVE FAVORITES LIST. THE GAME IS SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY, AND THE CREEPY LANGUAGE WILL HAVE YOU RESTLESS IN YOUR SLEEP FOR DAYS. AND TO TOP ALL THAT OFF, THIS GAME HAS VERY FRIGHTENING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC. I MUST SAY THAT IT REALLY DOES A GOOD JOB OF LETTING YOU KNOW WHEN AN ENEMY OR ENEMIES ARE NEARBY. BUT, THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT I COULD LISTEN TO ANYTIME OF THE DAY. I AM NOT ONE OF THE SELECT FEW THAT FIND ORCHESTRAL MUSIC TO BE A THING TO DANCE TO. I AM INTO THE NEW KIND OF MUSIC, LIKE R/B, HIP HOP, HEAVY METAL, AND HARD ROCK. SO TO TOP THIS REVIEW OFF, THIS IS DEFINATELY FOR WORSHIPPERS OF RESIDENT EVIL 4 ONLY, OR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BEETHOVEN'S GROOVY BEATS. BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED RESIDENT EVIL 4 YET, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
