ME (1)'s soundtrack is good, but nothing really exceptional comes to my mind. ME2's track isn't different except for the fact that it has some tracks that stand out. I like the themes that are played when you fight the Preatorians and the one that's played while you're holding the line at Heretic Station and the first part of the suicide mission.
But to be honest, they should've stayed consistent and take ME (1)'s soundtrack and go from there. Both scores are a bit too different from each other if you ask me.

I honestly couldn't say for certain whether ME1's soundtarck was better than ME2's but I can say that I do remember ME1's soundtrack better. I can not remember any of ME2's soundtrack, I know I enjoyed it at the time but nothing seems to stand out in my mind. Of course saying that I remember ME1's soundtarck more than ME2's does not mean that ME1's soundtarck > ME2's, it just means that ME1's was more repetetive.

All's they needed was Faunts M4 part II at the end and ME2 would go down as the greatest game to bust its nuts on the industry, no questions asked.

I think ME1's soundtrack fit the game better than ME2's did.

[nov_pl]

No, not after Overlord

But even without it I prefer ME2 ST.

[Computer_God91]

I like ME1's soundtrack better. When i listen to it I can see the events in my head play out. I listen to it all the time. With ME2 I almost never listen to it and when I do its only a few songs, where as I can listen to ME1's soundtrack from start to finish.

Also M4 Part 2 was the best credits music ever! It fit ME so well. I was disappointed not to hear it at the end of ME2 or at least another song not from the OST. Then again alot of things in ME2 disappoint me.

I think ME1's musical score helped convey the whole feeling of wonder as you are exploring the galaxy. ME2's Musical score is more of an epic action movie feeling to it. I think that both ST's fit their respective games perfectly.

[WilliamShatner]

Yes, ME1 was a great synth score that brought back feelings of BLADE RUNNER and THE TERMINATOR while being it's own beast.



ME2 sounds like every bloody Hollywood score of the past ten years and is deeply unmemorable.

[Annihilator27]

Come to think of it, ME1 soundtrack felt like the 80's sci fi vibe they were shooting for.

[FlyingWalrus]

I don't.

ME2's soundtrack made frequent and magnificent use of leitmotifs, especially towards the end. Personally, I love the device of one overarching theme rearranged for different emotional moments. It was used to brilliant effect during the climactic mission and I felt driven to make it to the end by the sheer epicness of it all.

ME1's soundtrack was great and all, but I simply prefer orchestral scores because the depth of the arrangements simply makes for a more layered listening experience.

Where did they use leitmotifs?

[SpectreSeven]

ME2's tracks are no match for ME1's

Bit off topic but heres a link to Sam Hulick's original take on the 'Victory' theme from MEbegins with a single piano before revealing a more orchestral version of the theme used in the game..





Great stuff!

[Cris Shepard]

I have both OST's in one playlist.. Both are equally good... No, not good, great.

IMO, this one is a lot better than the "corny" one they put in.

Anyone else agree that ME1's soundtrack > ME2's?

Yes.

[MonkeyKaboom]

The fact I dont even remember consciously hearing the music in ME1, yeah its nothing compared to ME2 where I would actually go find soundtracks online, like Kasumi's

[DrAnaconda]

I much prefer Mass Effect 2's soundtrack.

[Mx_CN3]

Overall, I much prefer ME2's soundtrack. Samara, Tali, The Normandy Reborn, Suicide Mission, they're almost all great. I listen to most of it on a regular basis. That is not to say that ME1's was bad, in fact I think Vigil is my favorite piece of all of them, but I still think ME2's was better.

Also, I don't see any love for the Normandy theme here; I thought it had a good covert-ish feel, it really enhanced the atmosphere.

[M1tt3ns]

I think ME2's is FAR better than ME1's. Though curiously one of my favorite tracks was omitted from the OST CD. (Endgame2_Combat1 if anyone's interested). Seriously though I loved the whole ME2 soundtrack while only a few songs from the first game caught my attention.

[cowsaysoink]

The Mass Effect OST is way better than Mass Effect 2's.
