Not "The Complete Original Soundtrack"

"I'm a huge fan of the Halo series and I was surprised and disappointed to discover that the Halo 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack is NOT included as part of this set. I own all the other individual soundtracks; Halo CE OST, Halo 2 Vol. 1 OST, Halo 2 Vol. 2 OST, and the Halo 3 OST so I figured it'd be nice to have the complete set as part of my collection. The description mentions 5 discs so I figured it would be the complete set, but in place of the Halo 2 Vol. 1 OST there is a Halo Wars bonus DVD with Halo Wars music and some behind the scenes Halo Wars features. I would have been totally fine with a "bonus" DVD if it wasn't in place of the actual soundtrack.



I can't say enough good things about the actual music from the games. I would highly recommend purchasing the soundtracks for each game individually to get the complete experience. I can't justify recommending a "Complete Soundtrack" that omits tracks such as Peril, Heretic Hero as well as other classic tracks only found on the Halo 2 Vol. 1 Soundtrack."

Not Complete, But Great.

"I've been waiting for some sort of boxed set to come out. I love all the music in the series, and I've played the games as well.



Now, some aspects of this boxed set are a little disappointing. For instance, this set doesn't include all the originally released soundtracks. Also there isn't any literature about the music or the games included. All the credits are printed on the inside parts of the box though.



On the positive side, the set comes with a bonus DVD with a Halo Wars sneak peek and preview of the upcoming title's music. The only problem with that is the fact this is supposed to be the Halo Trilogy Complete Original Soundtracks. Not the 'most of the music plus a bit of other game music' collection.



Overall, though, I am satisfied with my purchase. This will make carrying around my favorite soundtracks a lot easier.



I hope in the future we will see another collection, with the COMPLETE soundtracks and literature about the music and games."

Score!

"When I first came to this soundtrack it looked like a good deal, but I'd get a duplicate of the Halo 2 v1 cd I bought back in 2004. Much to my supprise it was not included. I think I am the only one reviewing this that appreciates the fact that it was not included. I can see why they left it out. Halo 2 v1 does not "fit" with these other soundtracks because of the band music ie Breaking Benjamin, Hoobastank, and Incubus. Don't get me wrong H2v1 is a great cd. There is only the score in the 4 disc set. This set is for fans of Halo who enjoy the music of the game. Listening to the music reminds me of playing the games. To sum it up. If you bought any of the other Halo soundtracks except Halo 2 v1 Don't buy this. If you are like me and you only own or don't own Halo 2 v1 pick this up. Great music on this collection"
