 A must have for fans of Gears of War. August 1, 2007

Having spent spans of 24 hours or more with X-box 360 controller in my hands and giddily giggling like a school-girl as yet another Wretch is ground into pulp by a chainsaw or shotgun blast, I just had to have this cd when it was finally released.
One of the great things about the game was the feeling that you were having a real cinematic experience filling the massive boots of Marcus Fenix. While the HD visuals and the great voice work went a long way into making that experience work, in a lot of cases the music did an even better job.
Kevin Riepl has somehow managed to merge several different genre of musical sountracks into a sonic hammerburst with which your ears are reduced to puddles of blood, gore and DNA strands.
To easily sum up what this soundtrack reminds me of, take Christopher Franke of Babylon 5 fame, add a pinch of generic horror soundtracks through the ages, throw in a little of the dark marches of Howard Shore from his Lord of the Rings works, add a heaping helping of patriotic and military movie inspiration, and stir liberally.
If you liked/loved the game, then you've probably already caught your self humming the themes (or hearing them in your head) when no one was around... If so, get this NOW and you can tell the police officer who pulls you over for speeding on your way to work or school is that there is a swarm of Kryll chasing you and the UV cannon just died...
Excellent Soundtrack November 8, 2007

This soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard. I enjoyed the music during the game and now I'm enjoying it on my Zune. If you liked the game and you like epic instrumental soundtracks, this is for you!
Incredible February 9, 2009

The music on this CD rocks! Well, not rocks, but is great. There are a few tracks in the middle that are a bit monotonous, but those must be the filler music for game play.
Amazing videogame with amazing soundtrack. October 5, 2008
Ignacio Rafael (Spain)
I purchased this soundratk after several hours playing hte 2006 GOTY. This videogame has a thrilling atmosphere, I think that the music has a very important role in the game.
This sountrack contains every song you could listen in the game, the only song that isn't included has been the credit vocal song.
I'm very satisfied with my item, If you love "Gears Of War" you'll love this original soundtrack too.
Nice! June 10, 2008
Jacob Graham (Norwood, MA United States)
To me, the music was the best part of the game. It really ratcheted up the exitement. After humming the songs all the time, I found the soundtrack and bought it. It has a lot of tracks. Listening without the game only shows that the music is really good. The bombastic numbers remind me of movie soundtracks like The Chronicles of Riddick or Star Trek II.
