5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Soundtrack, June 17, 2007

This review is from: Shenmue Orchestra Version (Audio CD)

One of the best soundtracks I've listened to in a long time. The quality of the music on this soundtrack is unbelievable. Just listen to it and you'll know. It rivals even some of the best of movie scores. In my opinion better than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Score and a tad bit better than Last Samurai. Again, excellent score. You don't wanna' miss this. All of the music is more than suitable for a major motion picture. The only downfall of the soundtrack is the last song and it's price. If you can find it for a bargain good luck. But I'm sure there are "other" methods too.

This review is from: Shenmue Orchestra Version (Audio CD)

Shenmue is one of my favorite games, which is why I had to get the 2-disc Original Soundtrack. However, the soundtrack was disappointing. It was good in some parts, but the best songs were too spread out to be entertaining enough for a listen from start to finish. Then I looked into this Orchestra Version and it is much better by far. I can listen to this thing over and over and over. And the songs that I love from the Original Soundtrack sound even better in this version. The difference is amazing. The Original Soundtrack sounds muffled and lifeless compared to the Orchestra Version. There seems to be an air to the music and it seems to surround and envelop me.

Definitely a must get for any Shenmue fan. But go and get it brand new from [...] for $[...], not for this ridiculous price of $[...]. It's not good enough to warrant that price.
