orkybash Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 Killer Instinct 'Killer Instincts Enhanced' Enjoyable Killer Instinct remix from Jared. My only complaint here is that the guitar sample could use a lot of work - not to mention I recognize that sample (yes, I've used it too...) But other than that, there's nothing really holding this KI mix back. Give it a listen! Quote
Sniper Posted July 5, 2002 Posted July 5, 2002 After hearing the Metal Gear Solid 2 ReMix, I felt compelled to find more of Jared's work, and came across this ReMix - another good ReMix from Jared which certainly earns a spot in my books - follows the original mix quite nicely - slight monotonus tone in the background though - apart from that, another solid piece of work from Jared - keep up the GREAT stuff!

skawttieboy Posted July 5, 2002 Posted July 5, 2002 Yes, work on the guitar samples a little bit more, and this would be a very excellent and complete remix. Nevertheless, I still enjoy it. Good job! Quote
FLy HiGh Posted July 6, 2002 Posted July 6, 2002 These mixes were very well done ... i personally enjoyed it I personally suggest downloading the song Quote
Mr_K Posted August 12, 2002 Posted August 12, 2002 Killer Instinct 'KillerInstinctsEnhanced' Awsome remix, I can't really point out anything wrong with it! Definatly give it a listen! Funny pic Of the Day / \ _________________ | Quote
TheWired Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 What is there to say ? This is a rock piece of the killer instinct mix, the guitars sound great, the drums are very well timed, everything is on beat and perfect, DJP resumes it quite nicely, this mix is a great recommendation, keep it coming jared.

Parker82 Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 It needs one thing: that killer low-pitched voice that says "killer instincts". Quote
Fire O' Nell Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 I agree. That's one thing it's missing. But other than that, this song kicks tail. The thunder blends in well. Quote
DarkLion Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 This remix rocks, Makes me want to pick up that old snes controll and give this old timer one more go but then i remeber that I never could get past the first stage, Well anyways this song rules. take a few min. and listen to it. Quote
JesustheDarkLord Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I recently downloaded the Unofficial Bittorrent zips, and stumbled across this song. My opinions: The rhythm/background sound (drums, bass, pads, etc.) really capture the feel of the conflict inherent in Killer Instinct. The lead comes across to me as very dramatic, but it seems to lack a bit in innovation at some parts. I can really see this being a theme from a "Killer Instinct" movie - God forbid. Also seems to lack an ending, but the fade works here - it implies that the aforementioned "struggle" from the game is ongoing, instead of lasting four minutes. Quote
Solid-Snake Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Listening to this remix, reminds me of this SNES fighter.. I used to get real mad cause of this game...sometimes it is so hard, but back to the remix... IT'S GREAT! In fact.. I'm gonna play Killer Instict Right Now!! LOL... Got to find my SNES first:P Keep On Making Remixes Like This.. !!..Solid Snake..!! Quote
big giant circles Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Great mix. great feel to it. The only thing it lacks is some good pitch-bending for the melody. The choppiness of the lead guitar really gives it a really dated sound. Perhaps could have thrown some delay and a bit o' reverb on the lead as well. The rest of the song is fantastic. I just think that lead could have been improved a little. Keep it up, though. I give it a strong 4 stars. Quote
SamuraiFoochs #Reload Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 I just love this thing because it makes me want to kick ass. Kinda has an epic feel. Quote
Art_lover Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I am a fan of the KI games. This remix is really kicking butt! There is room for improvement (especially on the guitars) but it's good nonetheless. The thing is...why only two remixes?! I wish there were more remixes of the music from the game. Quote
drewmaster Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Killer Instinct 1 or 2, both were 2 of the best fighting games in existence. If they ever manage to come out with a third one, I'll probably be one of the first to get it. This remix reminded me of the good old days of Mortal Kombat 3 and Super Street Fighter 2; and of coarse, Killer Instinct. Quote
WWWWolf Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 I don't know why I've liked the Killer Instinct title song since I heard it first time year or two ago when my sister bought the cart for her SNES... I guess the title theme goes in the category "really epic short themes that are kind of dumb but are still pretty epic and fit to the game's premise and look well". And I've always liked the various Rareware soundtracks. Anyway, this remix builds a lot on top of that and turns it into a rather credible piece. I like it a lot, especially in that it keeps the song very recognisable and maintains the same feel, while sounding fresh and original at the same time. And (insert SNL imitation voice if you prefer) I don't think there's anywhere near enough songs that feature thunderclap sound effects, anyway. Thumbs up. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 I never was a huge fan of the KI music, but the recent Powerglove track made me appreciate it a bit more. I think the source is good, if a bit generic rockish, but what makes it a bit forgettable is the guitar sounds. The guitar sounds all around are super dated and the sequencing is a bit choppy, with a super thin lead sound. The percussion is interesting enough, but doesn't really change it up ever, and the fills are there but not terribly inspired. The best part of the track is actually the strings, which have some nice changeups and support things well. Overall a decent track, but not a favorite of mine. Quote
Bozlifyme Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 For whatever reason, I can never really find anything wrong with most remixes. I always click on the review page and people are like 'maybe more of this would of been nice, or some more of that would have been good' but I just come in and say something like 'Hey, great track!' Does that make me bad? Whatever. Fucking great track. Quote
Tex Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Sometimes I loop this one. I love the guitar sequencing in particular. Quote
Lint Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Nice Mix. It rocks just hard enough. I think this is floating around in various packs of remixes that individuals put together. That could be a compliment, that people put it together with miscellaneous remixes and label the "best remixes ever" or something like that. I have to agree with loving the snare here, and the lead is in the perfect range to be a really cool-sounding piece. Quote
Crulex Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 This site really needs a lot more KI love. The series was just so underrated and the music is so much better than a lot of other games. This is a good take on the opening track and I absolutely love the thunder SFX at the beginning and end of the mix. Good work! Quote
ooidort Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I'm really surprised too why there are so few remixes of this fantastic game! It has really amazing music which just begs to be remixed. Quote
MechaFone Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 This remix kept my head nodding for hours on end. It's one of my older favorites, and an excellent take on the source. Good job here. Quote
WesternZypher Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Jared, it's been sooo long since we heard more awesome from him. This one keeps me bopping, dawn, dusk and all day and night. Quote
