Ecco deserves better

(Review for Ecco 2: The Tides of Time: Arranged/Remixed tunes by jbltecnicspro)

I really don't know what to say other than the MIDI conversions flat out stink. None of the General MIDI patches even come close to resembling the Sega Genesis instruments (and yes, with a little bit of experimenting, you can get a videogamey sound from General MIDI). Also, it's impossible to tell what unit this was composed on, though my Sound Canvas is able to play the MIDI's back with good balance. Overall, I'm disappointed with this. If I didn't have college taking up my time, I would convert the Sega Genesis music myself... Perhaps I will. Bottom line: stay away from this one.
