Theme From Dark Void - Dark Void Soundtrack

[Gamewitzer]

Best 5€ I've ever spend.

[HokutoDynasty]

@Gamewitzer I bought it 3€, it's not expensive but it's worth 10€ I think.

[Custom09]

just beat this game. incredible music, and a great game too. Closest we've gotten to a rocketeer game. I wish they would have fleshed out the bad guys a little more though. This really deserves to be made into a movie with this amazing score.

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

Why did this game get bad reviews?

[keithasaur0]

I dont know why, but I always got a Titan AE feelng when I played this game. But I love it! One of my top five favorite games. And I dont care what most people say, cause the graphics were pretty nice. I felt like I was watching a cartoon movie witht the same kind of format as Titan AE or Atlantis. Overall, very underrated game

[KDeman01]

short game or not, I love the jetpack :P

[gomezgomas]

It`s a shame the game is so bad.

[keithasaur0]

I absolutely loved this game!!!!!!!!

[ChristianDavidNewton]

@TheTrollMage I never said Zimmer was bad. I must have failed to express myself correctly there. Zimmer is great, truly one of the best composers of all time, and I'm a great, great fan of his work, but you can't deny that recently he has started to recycle themes and motifs from previous work, which, compared to his early works (pre-Gladiator) are less than impressive.

[Te4RHyP3]

@ChristianDavidNewton so is the music in Inception also a re-hash of other movies he's done ?

[UndergroundHobo]

This is cool. My french horn private lesson teacher played on this!

[senorcooliac]

@weldonwin hopefully a sequel will apperar, maybe early this year or n 2012

[retardedcombine001]

its so sad that it was so short and got bad critique

[weldonwin]

@retardedcombine001 The problem, I think was ultimately one of corporate managment. The game feels half-done, as if there was so much that was being foreshadowed earlier in the game, like when Atem gives Will the helmet and tells him "Not to let it consume him" but this never comes to anything.

The prevailing theory, is that the developers had a huge epic story to tell, but were forced to stop halfway to get the game out for a corporately set release date.

[SquareheadX]

If you guys like Bear McCreary's themes go checkout the "SOCOM 4 Theme" on youtube. It's more greatness.

[ChristianDavidNewton]

@weldonwin Agreed. That's most likely due to him always using the same musicians.

[ChristianDavidNewton]

@josh1422 Well it depends on what kind of music you like really, but I think Bear's music is just as good if not better than Hans Zimmer's. Why? variety! Hans Zimmer uses the same orchestral crescendo style in most of his music, just listen to Zimmer's 'Chevaliers of Sangreal' and 'Time' from Inception, you'll get what I mean.

Bear's music on the other hand is much more varied, and he tends to use more exotic instruments, I recommend you listen to his soundtracks for BSG and Terminator: TSCC.

[weldonwin]

@ChristianDavidNewton That said, you can more or less recognise Bear's style pretty quick. Many times while playing this game, I heard a lot of familiar strains and instriments from his work on BSG

[TheTrollMage]

@ChristianDavidNewton You need to look at Zimmer's career over all the years for his expansive and varied repetoire and you'll really see he does have variety. The only people that seem to not thinkso are people that only look at the last few years of movies that directors give him. McCeary mainly works in the sci-fi genre, which does use some exotic or unfamiliar sounds, but that doesn't mean a wide variety, because he is still within certain genres. Your comparison is ignorant and uneducated.

[jangoisbaddest]

@josh1422

Really? I've always thought Zimmer was awfully formulaic in his work. Gladiator was really his only score that was truly exceptional. Everything else has been "meh...it does what it's supposed to do, I guess." McCreary's work on BSG and Human Target, on the other hand, is well above and beyond that.

[teencomment]

Yeah, you can tell this is by Bear McCreary. Only the composer of Battlestar Galactica would use so many drums.

[Ted2of25]

If it wasn't for the soundtrack i wouldn't care about this game at all.

[antred11]

I don't care much for the game, but I did buy the soundtrack.

And I have to say it's pretty darn good, although not quite as orgasmic as the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack. :)

[AbsurdV2]

Doesn't this kind of sound like the Indiana Jones theme anyone?

[legoguy151]

reminds me of THE ROCKETEER

[josh1422]

oh that was a bad mistake. I just stopped listening to the Inception soundtrack and listened to this and wow this is not even in the same league as that genius soundtrack. This is okay but yeah

[ymala1]

@josh1422 I'll have to admit, Hans Zimmer is great, and his work in inception was awesome. But don't write off Bear McCreary so easily. Listen to some of his work from the Battlestar Galactica Soundtrack. I promise, you won't be sorry. A lot of it is here on youtube, and this one is a favorite of mine: /watch?v=4EQXEIoZrZE.

There's more epic sounding stuff, but this is what I was listening to lately.

[hiddenpunk291]

haha i've thought about buying this game just because i heard bear mccreary did the soundtrack

[IcePlanetProductions]

can anybody tell me where can I download the dark void score for free?????

[snake56]

@IcePlanetProductions : Bear McCreary is a great composer so buy the soundtrack!

[IcePlanetProductions]

@snake56 I would love to!!! But it is a little hard to find it in my country...

[snake56]

@IcePlanetProductions : I couldn't find it in my country too, so I bought it on Amazon.com.

[IcePlanetProductions]

@snake56 Thank you.

[Misishaxi]

This game has such a cool, Star-Warsy spark to it at it's core - a tiny one, mind you - that just goes to show that if the developers make a sequel (and this time make it PROPERLY without leaving most of it unfinished) then they could have a huge hit on their hands. This thing has SO MUCH potential.

[darknipple]

@Misishaxi brad pitt is supposedly making a film of it, let's hope he does it properly.

[happyking9]

@darknipple I'm going to petition the surgical removal of his testicles is he fucks Dark Void up.

[darknipple]

@happyking9 let's hope he gives a better ending than the game.

[Jc40k1]

Really good music ok game

[SonicShuffle]

Awesome song

[A7XRules4life]

Wow, Bear/God has a huge range. So different from his other music.

[JoshShaps]

I just walked to get the mail with this on my iPod and I felt like the most badass mail-getter ever.

[MasterDjinn]

haha, word ;)

[the0michman]

@JoshShaps lol

[RogueFighter15]

@JoshShaps Haha. Epic. Did you feel like retrieving the mail was equivalent to saving the world?

[purelysophia]

@JoshShaps lol! Nothing better than doing everyday tasks with an epic soundtrack.

[aledilltud]

Someone should upload the song 'Ava's Sacrifice'

[DoctorGenome]

At 1:18 secs, I swear I can hear the CYLON swoosh, that sound that happens when the Centurions or Raiders eye moves back and forth.

Great score, but the game is meh. Playing the demo it felt like that level in Halo 2, when you play as the Arbitor and you pilot the Banshee and defend the Scarab piloted by Johnson. Not much to it. But great music, I gotta get the soundtrack.

[darknipple]

Still such a Rocketeer rip-off lol.

[LegoIndiana]

Which is good, 'cause this is the closest thing we'll ever get to a decent Rocketeer game...

[darknipple]

Yeah, those NES games were terrible lol.

[1983parrothead]

@LegoIndiana Much like Data East's criminally overlooked "The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy" arcade that combines the style of The Last Crusade with dieselpunk machinery and vehicles. It may look like an Indiana Jones ripoff (or perhaps tribute), but it's more fun than the Indiana Jones games that predate it. It was also one of the games Treasure's employee HAN added to his favorites, and made some tributes to it in Treasure's Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes.

[nintendork67]

This song is very good, but hearing it in 8-bit just seems like a whole new experience to me.

[waynounet1]

The Soundtrack CD is out! :)

And it rocks :)

[crazyhorse52395]

The Best thing about Dark Void? Bear McCreary's awesome score!

[MeatMaggot]

@crazyhorse52395 Damn right. The game itself is quite mediocre, but the score is absolutely great.

[xtaco4BR3AKFASTx]

this song is so fuckin great and the game is awesome!!!!

[Kilivor]

Chingados, cual es el pedo con este wey?

[RoGoWsKiTiMo]

Epic music! :-)

[NickyMcDermott]

The music was the best thing about the game.

[roastedturkey]

thats a disgusting way of putting it. dont compare his works like that. His work is on its own by far. Man freakin loves those drums. I love them also in his works for BSG

[brandonthabunnyboy13]

Is this the song in the demo? I really lliked it.

[elessarz]

A CD of the soundtrack is going to be released soon enough.

Go Bear.

[GameReviews2008]

love the battlestar vibe

[Yokozuka]

damn! it sounds so BSG like!, as usual, Bear´s musical work keeps getting better and better.

[emicolla]

Espectacular, i love this song, the dark void demo is great

[boombye]

Yeah Mech, compared to his other work, such as Terminator SCC, the music I heard on the Dark Void demo sounds closer to his style on BSG, as soon as you start the level, it sounds like Cylons are about to attack, even the Jetpack makes a familiar sound.

[visselke]

Where did you get this??

Been looking to buy the score or pre order (bit of a bear fan :)) it but have not found anything so far

[kemamusa]

It reminds me of Indiana Jones.. Sounds almost like Indiana Jones in space.

[ErectCactus]

lol

[Gryphus89]

does anyone know where I could get the music of the demo level from ???

[Michformer]

I loved the demo. Flying was really fun and the shooting was solid. Only problem is that enemies suck a lot of bullets.

[GameGeek72]

@Michformer i agree

[Michformer]

Totally pre-ordering this game.

The jetpack was one of the best gaming tools ever and this game sure utilizes it very well.

[josh1422]

@Michformer lol oh man what a mistake that was

[Mech610]

Amazing song, but it really carries McCreary's mark, which isn't a bad thing. I love the Battlestar Galactica music, and this is just as fantastic.

[Norrec87]

Holy balls.

This is fantastic.

[xtremeholymuffin]

This is really good.
