Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance(Original Game Soundtrack) [Vocal Tracks] Review

8bitfix writes:The Metal Gear series as seen through the eyes of a soundboard has been defined by excruciating, laborious pacing. Creaking lockers, the smack of rubber sole, the use of flash grenade to all out fracas. From inch to inch the audio was prostrate drowning in subtlety. That being said, the music has never betrayed its onscreen partner. They have worked together in unison to clear the overrun facility of paramilitary and barking mechanical menace. Each moment cued, tension escalating until one gun is finally nestled like a beak inside the inner ear of the wobbling, dazed opponent. This series overall scoring can be aptly summarized by a track found nearly buried within Metal Gear Solid 4's ponderous and fragile post-mortem sound cues. As seen below:

Going to buy the soundtrack soon.

Panaru4106d ago

While I absolutely love the Rising soundtrack (A Stranger I Remain, and I'm My Own Master Now in particular), this review is one of the most pretentious pieces of journalism I've read in a looooooong time. Dear god.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.

Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.

SimpleDad7d ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218344d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel44d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia43d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
