Moving along on the binge listening and yet continuing on to another Killzone soundtrack, I can't help but realize that I should of known of these soundtracks sooner. Killzone(1) While being an older game shows that even the aging PS2 can compete in live-quality movie-like masterpieces, and well...The Helghan March sounds pretty much as awesome as the KZ2 rendition. That said, this soundtrack was more self-aware of how awesome the march tune was compared to KZ2, but like the latter lacked the variety of it's successor. This soundtrack is pretty much one of the pinnacles of PS2 music-awesome, right along up there with the likes of Soul Calibur, Ace Combat, and MGS. The only regret is the tracks are quite short compared to its successors.
People will find John Williams-isms in this track, but more so on the WWII/Indiana Jones front than on the Star Wars/Sci-fi front. This is completely understandable as the original was just a future rendition of World War II, as anyone knows at this point that the Helghast are pretty much Nazis, as you can hear in my other reviews. Anyone wanting to listen to a masterful yet somewhat to be desired piece of soundtrack, look no further than the original Killzone's original soundtrack.
In my Opinion?
9.3 out of 10.
