The game OST is full of crazy adrenaline orchestras from a mature level (and the game storyline is more complex than people can imagine) and with a variable of musical strands, blues, fusion, funk, the face of composers.

Its my favorite in the snes.

Just to see: Check the song "Warning Two" (Uematsu), the common boss music on Gun Hazard and compare with "Let the Battles Begin!" (Uematsu too), the FFVII battle theme. The second was heavilly inspirated on the first. Theres others similars too.

seeing this.....makes me wanna play this again! i finished this game but now i want to play again!!! *-*

@magopolian Yep. Just like Uematsu with Dynami Tracer, he seems to use a few motifs here and there from that and this.

@dposey38 That's what I do for SFC games that were never released....I mean--scratch that one (*cough*Snes9x*cough*)

@magopolian Couldn't have said it better myself. This game really is a masterpiece. The story just kept me drawn in to it. The music like you said is brilliant! It's to bad this was never released in the U.S. I had no choice but to play it on an emulator.

This game did some crazy things with the SPC700!

@Kalevsmith

Yeah. And its strange because I first listened to the tracks of this game in the end of december 1996, when i travelled to Japan to stay 2 months, before FFVII was released. When FFVII got launched in january 1997, i said to me and my friends "holy ... Uematsu obviouslly gotta inspiration on his Gun Hazard job!!!".

Albert: WHAT?!

What a catchphrase, ladies and gents.

[BlizzardFenrir]

When is the first song? I finished the entire game, but I can't recall that one.
