Rate the M2TW Music

[Divinus Arma]

What do you think of the M2TW music so far?

[IPoseTheQuestionYouReturnTheAnswer]

I'm so impressed by M2TW's music that I have my own iTunes playlist of it, ripped from the soundtrack CD. If van Dyck made this one, I have to really hand it to him, because it's a great accomplishment.

[Darth Nihilus]

Very good music. By far the best music I've heard on a game.

[Lusted]

Agreed, it is wonderful music. Im actually listening to the audio cd i got in the CE when not playing the game as i love the music.

[Sir Robin]

I actually like MTW and VI's music more than RTW. I also like MTW and VI's music more than M2TW. Granted M2TW's music is good, I am listening to the soundtrack at work, but it seems a little too refined. Hard to describe accurately but MTW's and especially VI's music seemed a little edgier.

[Myrddraal]

VI's music rocked. Ahhh I used to make my vikings march just a few steps forward at the start of every battle just to get that stuff going.

And the eastern music for MTW

Absolutely.

Me too, the music on MTW1 is alot better then RTW and even better then MTW2

[Navaros]

I'd say mediocre on average, how come that's not a poll option?

Some of it is very good (mostly the campaign map) but a lot of the battle music is medicore in my view either in the score itself, or because of the tools they used to implement it into the game (ie: doesn't sound like it was played by real instruments).

[Sheogorath]

I would say that MTW1's music was much better than MTW2's, with STW somewhere between. RTW's music just kinda sucked to me.

How come thats not an option? :P

[frogbeastegg]

M2TW's music is easily on a level with STW's and MTW/VI's. I didn't like RTW's one bit; it was bland, boring and boring. There also seems to be a bit more diversity for faction's music; the music I'm getting as Venice is different to the music I had as England. In the older games those factions would have been lumped together and hearing the same Catholic music set.

My only grumble is that the music CD which comes with the collector's edition doesn't have all the tracks.

[Salazar]

Better than Rome, on par with mtw, (very slightly) worse than stw.

[Quickening]

My only grumble is that the music CD which comes with the collector's edition doesn't have all the tracks.

And those tracks aren't even named. They're just "track 1", track 2" etc.

I love the music in M2TW just as I did MTW and Rome.

[frogbeastegg]

Could someone give a frog an idiot level guide to using Audacity? I am able to get the big music file playing, and to highlight the section I want and copy it. It won't let me paste it anywhere, in a new window or otherwise. Nor will it let me advance through the hours long track at anything except standard playing speed. Audacity's help file is useless.

[Furious Mental]

The music in Total War games has always been excellent. Probably the only aspect of the game which no one complains about. But my favourite track is and always will be one of the marching tracks from Shogun.

YooooOOOOoooooooooo
YoooooOOOooooooOOOOOO
Yo ho ho yo ho
Yo ho ho yo ho

And so on. I always wondered what the hell that guy was doing anyway.

[Gorm]

And those tracks aren't even named. They're just "track 1", track 2" etc.

I love the music in M2TW just as I did MTW and Rome.

I used iTunes to import the music files from the bonus CD and it named each track based on the online CD database.

[Betito]

My rating's something like this

1. MTW1
2. MTW2
3. RTW

I can't give an opinion for STW as i never played it.. i guess it was on par with MTW1, but i don't know for sure


For me, nothing beats VI and Arab Battle music from MTW1 (Hell, i even have arab battle 3 as ringtone)

[pike master]

only music i ve heard so far didnt sound to good to me.

[Grande Orso]

The background music in the campaign map is good, but I wish there would be more variety during battles.

[Tamur]

For me, Shogun's music simply can't be beat. It's the most evocative and adds an tremendous amount of atmosphere and immersiveness, regardless of whether you're talking about the battle music or the campaign music.

Very well said, I'll just say, "Entirely agreed."

And reading this made me realise, even if the game doesn't run anymore I can still get the STW music off the disks (without an extractor even). Huzzah!

[Czar Alexsandr]

I'm not certain if Russia has it's own unique music. (and no just Russia really but eastren europe and the Danes.) Have unique music. I think they do but I can't be certain.

Anyways I love the music, France, England, Germany, the Mediteranian nations, Islamic factions, and Eastren europe factions have excellent music!

I like it it adds depth. I love the losing music to.. lol. Russia hears it alot for me against thosse dreadfull Mongols. It makes thosse last stands more memorable to. I can still remember everything about when Mikhail died defending Iasi.. or Issac in my Byzantines campaign that died traveling with the cavalry that never met up with the main army. I almost always have a Islamic faction campaign going to cause I find the music strangely relaxing. Every faction has music that just fits them. France seems more french with it. Makes me go and fight for French glory. lol. I just like it. Excellent soundtrack, like you'd expect from a TW game.
