EmperorSteele Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Even in the face of overwhelming support for this song, I still have to stick my guns and voice my discontent with it.If you looked up cheesy in the audio encyclopedia, you'd stumble across this song. I don't know, to me boxing should exude toughness, and these lyrics just don't reflect that. "Apprehensions becoming real" has no place in the squared circle. You don't have time to think of something that deep when your eye socket is being shattered from a left hook. These lyrics are way too deep and cheesy for this sort of thing. The gratuitous use of "Let's keep it clean, Punch Out!!" doesn't help much either. If you looked at the title... and listened to the lyrics, and put it into the cotnext of the "get up! get up!" meledy at the end, you'd realize that this was a song about failure.. specifically Mac's. And we've ALL been there before playing this game. So the lyrics fit (even if they are a bit deep.. though maybe one can assume Mac is looking back on all this after his loss?) btw, this Perry Bible Fellowship comic comes to mind: Heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelofshadows Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I've loved this song since I first heard it, but as a drummer, I have complaints, mainly that the drums sound really, really fake, I'm not sure if they used a drum machine or an electronic set, but I'm guessing it's the former due to my next complaint, which is this....where are the Tom fills. I hear cymbals, base, and snare, but no tom work at all. There are parts of this song that scream for it, but nothing happens. Nevertheless, this song kicks ass, and is great, one of, if not, the best I've heard on this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I hope people are emailing this song to Red Octane, Harmonix, or whoever they need to, for inclusion in Guitar Hero 3 srsly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swallowed Shyguy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I've loved this song since I first heard it, but as a drummer, I have complaints, mainly that the drums sound really, really fake, I'm not sure if they used a drum machine or an electronic set, I thought I should just let you know that Game Overs first demo was indeed recorded with programmed drums. Their new demo is recorded with live drums, and of course it sounds great! Hyrule´s Angel, found on this site, is a taste of what´s on their latest, "Nesperado". To comment on Little Mac´s Confession, it´s certainly an immortal classic that defines the "Nintendo Metal" genre... Too good to be true.

The gratuitous use of "Let's keep it clean, Punch Out!!" doesn't help much either. I know quality can be an issue but this needs more backbone musically. It sounds way too flimsy. As far as 80's metal goes, Manowar would frown on this as "false metal." I put a challenge to you. Rewrite this song from the perspective of a 'true' boxer in Swedish.

Brew Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 as a side note, I started a thread here: http://forum.guitarherogame.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=13413 you should lend your support how awesome would this song be played in Band Mode? drink some Cold Ones, play some MTPO, fire up Guitar Hero, belt this song out.. good times.

Liontamer Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Solid stuff, once of the classics. More artists should be willing to use the "Game Over" theme like Game Over did here. There's lot of other cool little themes within the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly it's a drummer talking.....I mean, they're right there in front of you. Toms aren't there to just look pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindkast Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 2002? I saw this get posted, and after all these years, it's still my favorite remix on OCR. Game Over, thanks so much for this song (and for your others!)-- I really hope you keep making remixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosefu Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I love the tune to this song and bells at 0:46 were a great touch. great stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 100% Classic OCR track right here. The ring bell count in was spectacular. Great riffing, a good solo, and really nice vocals combined with a great arrangement make this one stand the test of time. \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holy Land Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 ****, this is good. I just LOVE this style of metal. The lead is not overbearing (except during the solos, of course), and the guitar sounds very clean for a change... The Game Over theme used as an intro was an efficient and smart idea. I also enjoy the singer's accent, it has an odd quality of being slighty "funny" and wickedly cool at the same time. Damn, this track is too amazing, can't wait to hear other tracks from Game Over.

Crulex Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I love everything about this ReMix, from the vocals and the story driven lyrics, to the amazing arrangement and guitar, even the sound effects going along with the music cues. This is fantastic and honestly a good musical representation of what facing Mr. Dream is like most of the time (even if I oddly find him easier to beat than Sandman and Macho once you get the pattern down). Such a great song, man. djpretzel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
