Replaced OST VS Original (Budokai HD Collection)

Post by Flame Dragon » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:35 pm

So how does the replacement soundtrack compare to the original Yamamoto soundtrack in the Budokai HD Collection?

I'd like to buy this game in the distant future and i'm wondering if the new soundtrack makes the game worse.

Rate the placement, the OSTs chosen and how they fit what's happening on the screen/the stage where they play on, without letting nostalgia clouding you.

I think the only fault I can find is the choice of certain tracks during some story cutscenes on Budokai 1. Everything else seems fine to me, specially on Budokai 3.

It's passable, but, compared to the original soundtrack, it's horrendous.

The replacement music in B1 was just okay. In B3 it was actually really good a lot of the time, especially in the DU maps. I really like that theme they use for the Saiyan saga and the one they use for the Frieza saga.

Still the original score remains the best in this case.

It's serviceable but if you've played BT2, RB1 and UB then it'll knock your head around for music you've maybe already heard too much from.

There's two solutions for this:
1) Turn the music off.
2) Play custom music from the original B1 & B3.

The original soundtrack for sure.

How could anyone not like the original themes like Challengers and Move Forward Fearlessly? Those tracks were epic even if they were plagiarized.
