> For the most part, the PSU soundtrack sounds like it belongs
in a Hollywood blockbuster movie. One exception to that description
is Track #9 "Save This World", which is easily my favorite song.
It's a classic Sonic Team theme with plenty of energy and
flair. I have to wonder, though, what happened to track #10 "For
Brighter Day"? The base of this tune is quite good, but they added
a layer that makes you think it's from a "best of gospel choir album".
Hmmmm... too bad.
> Does this soundtrack match that of the original Phantasy
Star Online? No. However, it is fresh and exciting
at times, yet certainly not perfect. I recommend it to fans of this
series and RPG gamers in general. Note: if you want the complete
PSU Soundtrack you'll have to acquire the 3-CD For
Brighter Day album. May the light of hope shine upon
you throughout your adventures!
Bottom Line:
> Save This World is limited to 14 songs, which highlights
the PSU experience. At this point I would continue
to rate all the PSO soundtracks in order of release, with
PSU
coming in at #4. It's an excellent original score for what's sure
to be an epic adventure in a whole new realm. Any serious fan is
sure to acquire this CD. Who knows, there might even be a few newcomers
to boot!
Overall: 8.5 |
