I decided to a little binge listening and head straight to the previous Killzone soundtrack--Killzone 2. This soundtrack is filled with masterpieces like Killzone 3, though it lacks the same amount of variety of Killzone 3. While this isn't a bad thing I enjoyed the Killzone 3 OST more because of this, as Killzone 2 seemed more hesitant in copying big names like John Williams.
The OST is still practically perfect if you like Lost Planet/MGS/Ace Combat mixes with beautiful epic pieces, and the theme is played throughout. Though not as repeated as with Killzone 3, as if the composer like others wanted you to finish the game to hear the good stuff. While this is completely understandable, I tend to enjoy games more that give you the epic themes throughout the entire game. That said, this is another OST that Sci-fi epic buffs must hear during their lifetime. Also the "The Second Helghan March" and the following songs that use its melodies are pretty powerful in putting you in the grips of Nazism. That and I love how the composer used the theme piece from the E3 2005 CG Demo as if to give closure to people who loved that epic yet fake piece of cinema. Also the End Credits would make John Williams cry with envy.
In my Opinion?
9.6 OUT OF 10
