    What bothers me the most is that they had this wonderful soundtrack in their first game and would go on to use absolutely 0% of the original soundtrack in the sequel. Not even a simple melodic callback to the first soundtrack. Nothing

      Here here man. I tried so hard to like Mercenaries 2 but apart from blowing up the Oil Rigs, it just didn't seal the deal for me as Mercenaries 1 did. It's a real shame that Mercenaries 2 seemed to focus more on sunny scripted lines you'd hear over and over again. Real fucking shame.

    One of my favorite games, it really put you right in the middle of a korean war and everything feels authentic. You can feel the dread and hate between the two koreas and between japan, more often you see them fighting. And the graphics were mind blowing for it's time, if only I can play it now.

    This game is going on 20 years old now, and IMO it still has one of the best OSTs of all time. All of the feel, the emotion is there, and its the work of genuine people with minimal editing to the score. They dont make them like this anymore.

  • @Softload3r
    @Softload3r Год назад +3

    Holy shit this is amazing! I never saw a video of it being played by instruments. Only form the menu or just the OST. But this kind of immerses you even more with the music and instruments itself.
    I don't know if it's just because I played the game and know with what to associate the music with, but to me it sounds so North/South Korean and somehow western and russian too. It fits to all the factions from the game. A perfect blend.
    What a great game it was. Ahead of it's time. I have so many memories with it and hearing this brings back so much nostalgia...
    I hope we can, someday, get a remake or a new part of this game series...

      That's one of the things I miss most about older games. It's rare to have soundtracks performed with a live orchestra unless it's a fantasy game. Shooters and other genres feel so lifeless with generic techno/rock themes all the time.

    • @dragonbutt
      @dragonbutt 8 лет назад +2

      slvrcobra1337
      I make an exception for Battlefield 3. It pretty much rewrote the book on generic techno rock themes, and thus was the only game to do it right.

Also Chris Tilton was the guy who orchestrated this piece and the rest of the music (I think)... Michael Giacchino wrote the themes.
