Because there won’t be an official soundtrack release… get it?
I’ll be honest and say I haven’t been as excited about a Star Wars game in a long time, but The Force Unleashed is looking to live up to the hype. I was curious how composers Jesse Harlin and Mark Griskey would handle the game’s music; would they rely too heavily on classic Star Wars motifs, or would they create something truly original?
It sounds as though we’ll be getting the latter this time around. Familiar Star Wars motifs are used tastefully to enhance the experience and to remind gamers that they are indeed in the Star Wars universe, but the music in the game not only sounds amazing, but is completely original, sounding dark and moody as one would expect from a game focusing on the dark side of the force.
