I wish I had Freedom Planet, not just for the game, but because I wish I could hear the original version of this track. Because this remix sounds fantastic. I could definitely hear the melody of an old school Genesis platformer, on top of fabulous synthesized beats and chords.
-
What a wonderful take on Green Hill’s theme. It’s like the sound chips in a Sega Genesis had a baby with R&B, and that baby brought interesting but effective vocal samples to help bring this track even further to life.

The instrument work for this track was loud, and strange. It almost completely eliminates any sense of dread from the original version of this track. Even if you’re not familiar with the Super Metroid soundtrack, I still wouldn’t recommend it. Too much happening all at once. None of it very soothing to me, nor is it anything I would want to jam to at a club.

Amazing chiptune work here. Feels like I’m listening to the ending theme of a large scale adventure on the Nintendo. It’s definitely not often that I would hear chiptune tracks and have “beautiful” be one of the first words that comes to me when I want to describe something.

Not having played Titanfall, I have nothing to compare this to, so I’m approaching this as a completely original track. I love the percussion work in this track in the beginning. However, it’s hard for me to maintain an invested interest in this track, as it’s short and kind of generic. I will give the artist credit for choosing to remix something released on one of the current-gen systems. It’s a great risk that very few remixers take it seems.

Very nice, action packed remix. Parts of it almost sound like it was inspired by the Metal Gear series rather than the Contra series. And I say that as a compliment because this sounds like something I would hear in an action adventure game during one of the fast paced moments. And that guitar solo near the end? Amazing.
-
I feel like the instruments playing the main melody were taking a backseat to the guitars. I like rock music blended with orchestrated music, but only when it’s balanced properly. For me, the balance is too uneven. It felt like greater emphasis was placed on the guitars over all the other instruments. Which is a shame, because this would otherwise be an excellent remix blending two generations of music together.
-
If it were me, I wouldn’t have brought in the rock instruments until around the 1:04. Beause that minute long intro was amazing without it. Having said that, this is an amazing metal remix. The percussion work kind of reminds me of what Yasunori Mitsuda did in the Shadow Hearts games, and the use of the guitars makes me think of what would happen if Linked Horizon (Revo) did a Wild Arms soundtrack. And wait, was this really his first remix here? What a first impression!

This track is hard for me to invest in. It’s so hard and fast paced, you can’t just listen to it while working or relaxing. The track is so loud and distorted, it would distract me if I tried to listen to this doing anything else. I would just want to do everything and anything as quickly as possible ala Cranked. I will say that the percussion work in this track is very well produced.
-
What makes this track excellent is that it’s a rock remix of an RPG game that doesn’t try to sound as heavy, tense, or as dark as possible. It’s very fun, with some excellent solos, and background guitars that complement the main melody so well. A great example of how to do a fun rock remix.
-
Definitely not something I’d picture as being inspired from a Dark Souls game. It’s already been pointed out that the flute work here is great. The sitar work is great as well, and the chanting really adds to the tension as well. The percussion sounded great, but then after the 3:28 mark it sounded very muffled to me. It’s a great track, despite the odd production choices near the end.
-
This should be setting a standard for how to bring metal into remixes and arrangements of Zelda tracks, regardless of which Zelda it is. I can kind of see what timaeus222 is saying about the drums. It is kind of easy to forget about the drum work with the excellent guitar work. But as he says, it’s “enough.” The use of original sounds was flawless, and they served as great transitions to each section of the medley. Overall, excellent remix.
-
Orchestrated music that’s blended with electronic music could not sound anymore dark and eerie than it does in this track. I loved the entire track, but 2:10 – 2:40 was phenomenal work. The “wub wub” transitions between each section of this track was incredible. It almost makes me fear the “wub wub" for when I hear it, I'm immediately anticipating a ferocious battle on the horizon.
-
That intro. Wow. Simply spectacular. Actually, everything about this track is spectacular. From beginning to end, I could hear a story of the heroes preparing for battle against Deus and all his demons, followed by that misguided jerk Krelain and his incarnation of Urobolos, and then everyone celebrates winning the final battle.
An easter egg you say? Welp, all the more reason to wanna listen to this track over and over and over…
-
This is an amazing blend of rock work with synth work. And I absolutely love the percussion work in this track. My only problem is that the track feels like it ends very abruptly. Almost too abruptly. Gave this otherwise exciting track a very lackluster ending. But two lackluster seconds won’t take away how I felt about the rest of this track.
-
This is a very interesting track, blending two games from completely different generations to create something entirely different and remarkable. Sometimes if I hear a remix, I’ll immediately figure out the origin of influence. This track, however, sounds so original and unique, I almost hesitate to call this a “remix.” The vocal work in this track is amazing as well. Very wonderful voice.
-
The very start of the track left me a little perplexed as to what the instruments were leading up to. Then the guitar solo starts, and I’m immediately hooked. Hearing this makes me want to feel like a champion of any sporting event. The more the track progresses, the better it gets.
-
I love the guitar work in this track, but I wasn’t too thrilled with some of the percussion work in this. Seemed very distracting, and distorted in an unenjoyable way. If it weren’t for the guitars, I would have stopped listening to this halfway through.
-
For a remix that is meant to be a tribute to Final Fantasy X’s incarnation of Cid, this is a very fun remix. Smooth, almost 80s pop-dance like, and definitely a jam to listen to when traveling, or if you just want to have fun at your work. It’s short, but with the way it’s produced, 2:41 is about the right amount of length for something like this. Doesn’t get old, nor does it try to do more than it needs to.
-
Not a bad track. There were some spots where I felt that the piano was unnecessary, like when it played parts of the main melody alongside the guitar. But when the piano goes into solo mode, it works. This is a decent remix. Seems slightly slower than the original track itself.
-
MUCH better than part 1. The production in part 2 is a lot more balanced, complimentary, and everything just makes more sense to me. The vocalized intro was great, and the lyrics actually sound like they’re trying to compliment the melody. I would personally skip part 1 and go straight to part 2.
-
I’ll give this remix plenty of credit for being original. I certainly would never think of rap associated with any of the original music used in the Smash Bros series. However, part one does nothing for me. Melee music doesn’t translate into rap music very well to me, so I would not want to listen to this again. Seems like there is way too much going on all at once. I would still recommend trying it at least once, as these kinds of remixes are a very acquired taste. Part 2 on the other hand…
(Edit) I should clarify that Melee music didn't translate into rap music in this case, IMO. A lot of game music, including Melee, can translate into rap. However, I still stand by my preference to part 2 over part 1. But again, I do still recommend giving this a listen.
-
Great rock remix. It’s intense, and action packed. All without relying on super-fast solos and riffs. The synth instruments and the rock instruments do a great job complimenting each other without overpowering one another.
-
This is a great, and beautiful remix of Edgar and Sabin’s theme. The piano work can be a little loud at times, but it doesn’t make the track any less enjoyable. The background synth work does a great job complimenting the main piano melody.

Great rock arrangement of a Metal Gear remix medley. The transition between the two source materials used was so incredibly well done. It almost felt like the track was ending, and then it starts up again with something brand new, like an encore. I didn’t care much for the backing vocals, and the ending seemed a little quick (but I wouldn’t call it an abrupt ending).
