So I watched Devils Lair for about the 5th time now and I have got to say guys....its no wonder Bungie let Marty go
And before everyone rushes to defend him, just hear me out. First off you should know I'm a huge fan of Marty's work in Halo and I think the man is a genius. That being said, if the soundtrack being played during Devils Lair, is Martys work, it is awful!
The opening scene is IDENTICAL to Star Treks opening music and the combat music was a cacophony of nondescript minor half notes and broken rhythms. It was an awful synergy of electric guitars, choir, and strings that grated on my senses the whole time!!!
I realize the video was just an example and that the music may very well have not been Marty's at all. I also am still a huge fan of what I see and cant wait to play the game. If the music that was played in the trailer is an official sequence however, I will be playing the game without the music and that would be a colossal shame to me and a huge letdown
Thats my opinion anyway and before you get huffy about my post, I would ask you to take another look at the gameplay and just listen to the music. All I can say is yuck!
