The Music Of God of War II

Sony sent me an email about PS2 games for June which listed new titles like Hot Shots Tennis as well as a link to information on a slightly older title. The link goes to a revamped God of War II site featuring information on the game’s soundtrack. Coincidentally, I’d already bought the soundtrack on CD a few weeks before.
The site shows that the music is now for sale on iTunes as well as the Sony Connect service. The soundtrack, while full of very powerful music, didn’t impress me much with the fidelity of the recording on CD. Certain songs show that the music isn’t of very high quality, but I can’t be sure if it’s the way the CD was written or if the producers were simply pragmatic, not bothering to record it at a high audio “resolution” for lack of a better word because it was going to stream in the background of a noisy action game.
Even so, the soundtrack is very powerful and moving and keeps me grooving while I work at home or work out at the gym. How can you back down from a challenge when the music is ratcheting up the intensity? Check it out here and you can hear the title theme of the game playing while viewing the website.
