Koji Kondo... *sigh*

(Review for Super Metroid: Game rip by Scooter Fox)

(I expected something incredible - that's why this review looks like this. ;))
Whenever I hear 'Koji Kondo', I see Super Mario Bros. before my eyes. Sorry, can't do anything about that, it's just something that can't be removed from one's brain. I must say that I was curious how mr. Kondo would handle making music for such great and climatic game as Super Metroid. Well, the result wasn't as good as it should be. First of all - it's nothing amazing. There are some good tunes, but on the other hand some of them are a bit like ambient, repeating themselves over and over again every ten seconds (I'm not saying it's a bad thing, take a look on the Captain Tsubasa 2, but in such case it must be done almost perfectly to sound good). Second - quality isn't *that* good either. I mean, come on, it's one of the best games on SNES, so one should expect that music is not far away from gameplay, right? However, tunes like those from Brinstar and mini-bosses defend whole soundtrack pretty well and overall rate is seven out of ten (I was going to give it a six, but I heard so many worse music on SNES that it would be just unfair).

7/10
