Sorry about that.īut so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. The four tracks I liked the most I'll throw into a play list for future listening, but as a whole the album lacks any real substance to stand on its own.įamily Video Game Age Ratings | Home | About | Radio shows | Columnists | Competitions | Contact
But as a stand alone musical release it does quite have the weight to carry you through.
In terms of its effectiveness within the video game, Dragon Age: Origins Soundtrack works well, the music never overpowered my experience as I played but neither did it sound particularly memorable. But many of the other pieces are distinctly unmemorable, feeling like mere background noise compared to the penultimate Ferelden At War track which accompanies one of the more dramatic cut scenes building up to the game's climax. There are some sections that reminded me of the Mass Effect soundtrack in Mage's In Their Chantry, where I swear I could hear Sovereign Theme amongst the ethereal voices and strings. It's hard not to be moved by the alluring voice of the singer in Lelianna's Song, or feel a sense of longing for Ferelden.Īside from these few tracks the whole album feels a little weak though.
