OverClocked ReMix...

Green Beret 'Hard Core'

Sorry, but there is almost nothing of interest going on here. Drums get annoying fast. Melody is too repetitive, and without any harmony to back it up, the mix sounds extremely flat. The part around 2:00 actually works a little. Not enough to save the mix, but a little. Overall I really can't recommend this.

in all honesty, i've gotta disagree with the previous post. this song isn't particularly amazing in the technical sense, and sure, the drum track may get repetitive, but plainly put, this is a fun song.

the bell tone and synth combo come off as cute-almost-to-the-point-of-annoying area, but they never *quite* got annoying, imo.

in all, this is a fun song to listen to. the melody itself is catchy enough, and the hard (could be harder?) drum track makes the song all that more whimsical, which i think is a good thing. worth more than a few plays, i think.

This song is not good.... and by the way, I have this game... it's called Rush 'N Attack (like we're not gonna notice that that sounds like 'Russian'). Perhaps it's called Green Beret in Japan or Green Beret is the sequel or something.... but I doubt it.

actually, not that i'm a c64 expert or anything, but this _was_ called Green Beret on the c64 and cpc, then the name was changed to Rush 'N Attack (and yeah, the name is a good one) for the NES. i'm sure that google will back me up on this one.

Wow. This is a really annoying remix for sure . The drums..The Drums, they never stop banging

I owned Green Beret for C64 a long time ago. It was actually a pretty fun (but hard) game.

When I look back on this remix I think it should not have been accepted by ocremix.
The only good part is the part that starts at 1:57 and the intro had sort of a nice feel too ( with the really cuddly pad :D ), but the rest of the mix could have needed a lot more effort and generally more "feel" put into it.

The reason why it is so dull, with nothing really creative in there such as a bassline is simple really. When I was a kid I was virtually tone-deaf and I knew this.
Even though I had improved much at that stuff at the time I made this remix I still had much doubt about myself. I was afraid that if I experimented with layers of
strings or arpeggio synths I would do something wrong, i.e. use a wrong key-tone or something and not be able to hear it.

So basically I feel that I should have waited with submitting it until I was more confident about myself.
I am not tone-deaf at all anymore so I know I could make a much better mix if I tried but it would be a waste of time since ocremix doesn't accept new versions of old remixes anymore. After all I guess this is a piece of video game remixing history, boring as it is, there is at least one small part worth listening to.

Just thought I would let people know that I don't even like this remix myself and explain a bit why it was never as good as it could have been. :P

There are some nice synths in this track, but overall there isn't enough going on to keep things interesting.
I think i'd like it more if the bass drum was in the same key as the song, but as far as hardcore beats go, they are as authentic as you can get.

Wow, not sure what to say about this one.

The drums are...wow. They got pretty annoying quickly. The melody is alright, though it gets repetitive fast.

Not a fan, sorry to say.

The title says "Hard Core", but it doesn't really strike me as much.

The drums are too repetitive and dominate the track. There isn't enough variation to make it interesting.

Confession time: When it came time to review this guy, I just searched for "rush'n attack" saw a goat track, thought it sounded kinda hardcore, and started reviewing that, wondering why this got such negative reviews.

Dude, this was an old attempt, you were still young and learning, and that's cool. I'm interested to see where you are at now.
