Editorial Review: Product Description: From the earliest stages of its conception, Mass Effect was meant to be an original artwork about the future, inspired by the great science fiction experiences of the past. This synthesis of originaliy and familiarity called for a truly unique soundtrack, with ambitious goals and unprecedented challenges. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellantI very much enjoyed this soundtrack. Made me feel like I was anywhere but home, and made me feel right at home while playing the game. Rating:  - Great soundtrack for a great gameI think that people looking at this soundtrack will take little convincing to buy it. Like me, they probably thought that Mass Effect was absolutely brilliant and, at some stage, realised how much they liked the original music as well. Game soundtracks can be a bit weird - often not sounding as well on their own as when you actually played the game. Fortunately, the Mass Effect OST is mixed and sequenced well enough that it retains the qualities of its in-game counterpart. However, it isn't without fault - when I went through it the first time (and a few other reviewers have already pointed this out), I was a bit shocked to realise that a few music pieces are missing altogether. These are mostly the minimal, ambient pieces you hear ... Read More: Rating: - One of the Best Soundtracks Ever Heard for a Video GameMass Effect is flat-out one of the best games of the past five years. And one of the things that makes it so great is the soundtrack, which is a real score, instead of some cardboard effort, or some stock music. Nope, this is full studio work, and actual thought went into it. No, the the soundtrack isn't there for background, it's part of the living breathing game. They build off each other. The soundtrack helps complete the mood and atmosphere, instead of hindering it. It's a tribute to 80's sci-fi movies with its constant synth use, but there's also plenty of horns, some piano and somehow, it all comes together in epic fashion. And epic it is. This could easily be in any movie, and it should. Jack Wall and Sam Hulick did an amazing ... Read More: Rating: - Beautiful Score, But So Short...Mass Effect is a beautiful game. So it could be assumed that the soundtrack of the game is beautiful as well. And beautiful it is. The soundtrack is nothing more than what you'd expect: the music--ambient or otherwise--from the game. But, being an avid soundtrack purchaser, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with this as compared with the soundtracks from the three Halo games, because each track is only as long as a single run through that track would be in game. This means that you'll burn through the soundtrack in about an hour, maybe less. Regardless, it's still a piece I'd recommend to fans of the game, and goes great in the background as you read the book, as well. Rating: - Highly recommendedIt's not often that a developer takes a chance with their soundtrack like this, and it was a rather rewarding gamble on Bioware's part in the end. Mass Effect, by itself a great game, will be remembered for a long time for its soundtrack. It made the game larger than life, and made me feel like I was in a space epic/opera. After beating the game I still wanted more, so this soundtrack and the prequel novel were right up my alley. I received both items a little later than expected, but that is the price I pay for having USPS ship over the holiday's. If you are a fan of the Blade Runner and Dune soundtrack, or 80's scifi music in general, you owe it to yourself to give this a try. It features heavy synth mixed with orchesra level acoustics, ...
