insane snyper Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I downloaded a bunch of it, but that link you have up it to the .mov version of the E3 Trailer, not to just the music. I have been wanting that music though, I was actually going to post asking if anyone knew where to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squad_e Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 That main theme tune sounds cool .. I can feel the suspence! .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poita Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I appreciate the professionalism of the score but i think i sounds very bland. In fact it sounds very very close to the score that seems to go with every signle 'jerry Bruckheimer' production, movie or TV. I don't really care much about game music though and tend to turn it off after an initial listen. Game sound is very important to me but mucic is like wrapping on a present. Nice to see once. If the game is some kind of fantasy rpg then i think music is a big deal. For GRAW though I'm not so impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistle Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sounds good. Bill Brown made some really good songs for all the other Red Storm games. But Tom Salta filled his shoes pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
