4 out of 5 stars Simply great!.......2005-10-25

If you love action soundtracks, then this is the one to get to add to your collection. It's very hard to believe this is coming from a game. It's made me wonder what the game must be like, with so much action music and intensity blasting through the speakers.

Usually you would have to wait until the "summer movies" came out to find the really cool, and inspring soundtracks to be released that were filled with action and heart pounding adrenaline.

Game soundtracks now, simply fill that gap. DOn't think that this soundtrack is all digital, campy or synthetic in its sound. It feels and sounds like a full blown orchestra. The budget for the music production must have been robust.

Pick it up, you will not regret it.

4 out of 5 stars Great Game=Great Soundtrack.......2005-06-08

This soundtrack perfectly fits the epic feel of the game, which, if you didn't know, is a free-roaming adventure (along the lines of GTA) that takes place in a war-torn North Korea. The top-notch instrumental score is occassionally accompanied by a chorus, and the music never succumbs to the synthesizer-intensive techno that dominates many games.

The Western genre had been given new life by the mid-1960s success of so-called "Spaghetti Westerns," an oeuvre that also helped break some decades-old musical clichés, thanks largely to the pioneering efforts of the great Ennio Morricone. Guns for San Sebastian, released in 1968, was composed during the same halcyon period as the composer's Once Upon a Time in the West. Though Guns is a bit more conventional, there are moments that recall its magnificent cousin, especially the title melody and soaring soprano of Edda Dell'Orso on "Love Theme." Jacques Loussier's score for the mercenary adventure tale Dark of the Sun is a good companion piece. Though known for his jazz work, Loussier combines those coolly shaded stylings with an inventive, seemingly Morricone-inspired use of rhythm, percussion, and murky orchestral colors to evoke a sense of danger and suspense. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars One of Ennio Morricone's finest!.......2000-08-02

Ennio Morriocne's score for "Guns for San Sebastian" stands up to some of his best "Western" scores. "The Chase", underscoring the film's credit sequence, harkens to Morriocne's main titles to such films as "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" and "The Big Gundown" with it's driving rhythms and male chorus. The main love theme, appearing numerous times throughout the score, equals Morricone's main theme to "Once Upon a Time in the West" with it's lush strings and solo female voice. This score is a must for anyone who love's Morrionce's Western film music. The second half of this double bill is the score to "Dark of the Sun" written by French jazz composer Jacques Loussier. Ironically, the music sounds similar in style to Ennio Morricone's "Gangster Thrillers" such as "The Sicilian Clan" or "Violent City" The music is driving and forceful, making a nice match with "Guns for San Sebastian" (Though a second Morricone score would have been more appropriate)
