3.0 out of 5 stars Not "Complete", December 4, 2008

By	Melanie Halgren - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was incredibly disappointed to open this package up and discover that Halo 2, Disc 1 was NOT included. It is NOT a "complete" set of soundtracks. If I had known that a disc would be missing, I would have just bought all the soundtracks separately!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not "The Complete Original Soundtrack", December 2, 2008

By	I. Jiron "Halo Fan" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a huge fan of the Halo series and I was surprised and disappointed to discover that the Halo 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack is NOT included as part of this set. I own all the other individual soundtracks; Halo CE OST, Halo 2 Vol. 1 OST, Halo 2 Vol. 2 OST, and the Halo 3 OST so I figured it'd be nice to have the complete set as part of my collection. The description mentions 5 discs so I figured it would be the complete set, but in place of the Halo 2 Vol. 1 OST there is a Halo Wars bonus DVD with Halo Wars music and some behind the scenes Halo Wars features. I would have been totally fine with a "bonus" DVD if it wasn't in place of the actual soundtrack.

I can't say enough good things about the actual music from the games. I would highly recommend purchasing the soundtracks for each game individually to get the complete experience. I can't justify recommending a "Complete Soundtrack" that omits tracks such as Peril, Heretic Hero as well as other classic tracks only found on the Halo 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Complete, But Great., December 13, 2008

By	TailSpin "Eaite' Randjamee" (Kennewick, Washington USA) - See all my reviews

I've been waiting for some sort of boxed set to come out. I love all the music in the series, and I've played the games as well.

Now, some aspects of this boxed set are a little disappointing. For instance, this set doesn't include all the originally released soundtracks. Also there isn't any literature about the music or the games included. All the credits are printed on the inside parts of the box though.

On the positive side, the set comes with a bonus DVD with a Halo Wars sneak peek and preview of the upcoming title's music. The only problem with that is the fact this is supposed to be the Halo Trilogy Complete Original Soundtracks. Not the 'most of the music plus a bit of other game music' collection.

Overall, though, I am satisfied with my purchase. This will make carrying around my favorite soundtracks a lot easier.

I hope in the future we will see another collection, with the COMPLETE soundtracks and literature about the music and games.
