STEEL SAVIOUR (PC
- 2004):
www.avault.com Sound FX:
The sound effects are extremely
satisfying. Although not booming and limited in variation, the rat-tat-tat of
the weapons and the pleasant boinging sounds of the
power-ups are just great. There is not much in the way of background ambient
environmental noise, but given the pace of the action, you do not really miss
it. The stereo effects are timely and very high quality, although 3D hardware
surround sound is not evident. Musical Score: The
music in Steel Saviour is pounding and frenetic, certain to help keep
your adrenaline pumping as you play. Each of the five levels has the action
enhanced by an appropriate set of background tones. What you hear is
electronic techno-rock, quite appropriate for this genre. The default volume
never overwhelms the sound effects or distracts you from your shooting. The
play experience would clearly be a lot less nerve-wracking without this
background score. The high quality soundtrack even enhances the opening and
closing two cinematic sequences. www.gamemethod.com Musically, Steel Saviour is remarkably enjoyable. Especially during
the game’s two cinematic sequences, the music is simply outstanding. www.etoychest.org Subtle is a really important word here,
as it also describes the aural experience. The soundtrack serves up an
appropriate mix of electronic beats with organic sounds that really enhances
the natural aesthetic of the levels, but does not draw a considerable amount
of attention to itself. I think that the developer was really going for an
organic feel to the game in how the aural and visual cues interacted with the
environment, which is something they definitely succeeded at. GEM SMASHER (GBA

http://gameboy.ign.com Both songs and sound effects work well
and while there's not a huge variety, the voice samples and music match the gameplay. TSUNAMI
2265 (PC
- 2002):
www.avault.com Musical Score: ..the
score is wonderfully orchestrated and quickly changes in response to the
action you see on the screen. www.gamezone.com Sound: 8.6 - The
sound superbly captures the essence of a good Japanese anime and the proof is
in the perfect soundtrack that runs throughout the game as well as the great
voice acting and sound effects. Its score is wonderfully orchestrated
and swiftly changes at the drop of a hat when something of great importance
occurs during mid-battle. - Back to Homepage - |
