Harry Gregson-Williams Turns This Game Into A Cinematic Experience, October 3, 2005
This review is from: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I am a huge Metal Gear Solid fan, and when I heard that Harry Gregson-Williams would be joining in to compose the second game I got so excited, and was even more excited when he stayed for #3. Hans Zimmer is my favorite composer of all time, and I absolutely love every composer that comes out of Media Ventures. Williams keeps the feel of the original soundtrack, but adds his trademark techno spin to it. Fans will recognize the same style in Spy Game, Phonebooth, and The Rundown. The game becomes a film all because of the amazing talents of Williams. It's also interesting that he composed all the music solely based on Hideo Kojimas descriptions of atmosphere and actions. Usually scores are composed when a finished film has been presented to the composer, here Williams worked only off of sketches and writings. But the price here on Amazon is very high, at GKWorld they sell it for 13 dollars brand new.

Amazing. Nothing more said., May 1, 2005
This review is from: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This was absolutely outstanding. I have been a fan of Metal Gear Solid since I first bought a PlayStation 1 off a friend, and he gave me MGS1 with it. I was hooked. I loved the strategy, I loved the realism, and most of all, I loved the music.
I'm still stuck with a PlayStation 1, so theres no chance in me playing MGS3, but what I can do is listen to the soundtrack. And I gotta tell you, its extremely powerful. I love the Metal Gear Solid Theme, not just this one, but the ones from MGS1 and MGS2 just as much. Amazing.

Very Nice..., March 7, 2005
This review is from: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Original Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Awesome Soundtrack with a lot of variety. The first two songs alone make the entire thing worth it. Snake Eater(the theme song) is wonderfully sung and gives of the James Bond feeling that suits the game so well. The entire soundtrack goes perfectly with the game and there are a few tracks that you might feel chilling out too.
I get such an adrenaline rush when I listen to "METAL GEAR SOLID" Main Theme (METAL GEAR SOLID 3 Version), Clash With Evil Personified, Sidecar - Escape From The Fortress, among many others.
One of my favorite songs in this is Old Metal Gear, which brings back good feelings from way back.
The ending Song "Way To Fall" is also well done, it's very emotional and is comforting to listen to.
I say if you're a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series then you should definitely get this soundtrack and if you have Metal Gear Solid 3, you'll also find that it comes with a free(though useless) camo that is put in the CD. Highly Recommended.
