The first two 'tracks' you listed are so repetitive it is unreal. Horrible 50s songs with terrible choruses. I am not sure you can count dialogue as soundtrack material?

Great game, even if it is a bit repetitive.

Yes for soundtrack/sound design I would include everything, not just score.

Well if you don't like the radio songs then there's nothing I can say, individual preference and all that. Personally I thought Butcher Pete was a great song and along with the other songs helped immerse me in the retro 50s cultural feel of the game very well.

All I have to comfort me is the upcoming anime series.

:O time to get back into anime I think. After the events of Chapter 11 I'll be trying to get as much info on the story as possible.

Re Fallout 3: Personally love those 50's songs. Must get myself Fallout 3.

The problem is there is about 3 or 4 songs. So when 3dog isn't telling you something you have already heard you are listening to the same bloddy 50 song again. Now you may say then just turn off the radio, and you can, but there is **** all else musically or atmospherically in F3 outside of the stations IMO.

Well actually there's about 20 or so licenced songs.

Maybe the rest are really bland then and I only take note when the repetitive and chalkboard-nailing ones come on.

And yet you rate the MGS soundtrack?

Retr0gamer

Harsh. Harsh but fair.

Couldn't believe they got rid of Kazuki Muraoka and Norihiko Hibino as composers since their in game music was phenomenally good and totally outclassed harry gregson williams music for the cinematics.

F3 soundtrack values are second rate by comparison. Awful gunshot sounds, around 3 voice actors for the 100 or so speaking characters (I mean really, they could have tried to change their voice a little) and like I said excellent sounds to fit the various emotive moments of the game. Outside of the excellent 3DOG I don't think the F3 soundtrack can even be compared to MGS4.

Gregson-Williams is god Retro. The only disappointment was no rehash of the main theme.

I bet if you looked it up all your favourite MGS music was a Kazuki Muraoka or Norihiko Hibino composition. Gregson Williams just basically played on those themes for the cinematics.

I own the first 3 soundtracks.

The first, non-Harry-Gregson Williams, soundtrack is the weakest without a shadow of a doubt.

I haven't seen a breakdown of the MGS4 soundtrack yet.

isnt that because of legal issues over the main theme?

I didn't know that. The main theme in MGS1 was definitely what 2 and 3 are based on-I mean I couldn't possibly deny it. At the same time however, it is much more techno-based than orchestral and isn't a patch on 3 and 2 in particular.
