Cox said on his Twitter that "We are working to get the soundtrack officially released along with Mirror of Fate. Watch this space guys!"

Honestly, I didn't care for LoS's soundtrack at first, but it has really grown on me. If the demo is any indication, I'll probably like the one for this game too, so it'd be cool to have a way to get that soundtrack too.

That's a score and all but early reviews tend to be a wee bit favorable. Once the embargo lifts and the reviews are solid then I'll raise my hype.

Not that it matters though, im still hyped for the game no matter what score they give it.

Been listening to LoS OST and I don't understand why people hate it.  It's still good music.

Makes me feel like some are just Michiru Yamane fans.

First reviews for LoS were 9's. So this paints a better picture overall

Let's see if the big company reviewers give it a good score I'll say this right now if IGN or gamespot heck even gamtrailers give it a score above a 8.0 will color me surprised destructroid can go eff themselves with a giant purple

.  I may not like "professional" reviewers due to the fact that some reviews are  just out there. The ign LoS review to me is a prime example, that is a definitive reason why I do not completely trust professional reviews(complete bs as well as jim sterling he is way to strict even for a reviewer I think he gave LoS an even lower score like a 2 or something IIRC) yet, I want this game to catch on (as well as fire emblem awakening did) from the big guys, I think it deserves it. The first one was low balled for ridiculous reasons like "- not castlevania".

Correct me if i am wrong but some professional reviewers have highly biased comments that totally defeats their true purpose of unbiased reviews. Oh wait... It also happens to other reviews like movies. Maybe some other company paid them to write bad reviews...?

I've now questioned the whole "This game isn't that game so points off for that." complaint from reviewers in light of the overwhelming praise that Tomb Raider's been getting.

I haven't been paying much attention to that, it looks like a massive QTE fest.

It really isn't worth waiting for review scores anymore either, I personally don't trust anyone else's opinion but my own now. I'm really anticipating this demo on Thursday.

As for MoF's music, I really do like the music that plays in the demo when Trevor is battling those skeleton knights.

Some are fun to watch I love me some classic game room Mark is freaking awesome  :)

but yes as I got older I realized that somethings were just not clicking with some of these reviews live and learn I guess right?

You all know i am a big fan of "Lord of Shadow" but unfortunately the opinion of the magazine "Hobby Consolas" in Spain is worthless. How to say in English .. is a PAID magazine, if you pay you have good reviews, many cases were discovered. Like the games web portal "Meristation" are unreliable ..

Especially when the game is Spanish, I think is a great game and maybe can get to 9 (for me it's a 8 or 8.5). Many of the failures that have the game can be assigned to the weakness of the machine. Those load times between screens would not exist in a more powerful console (pspvita..) And more things that I said in a previous post.

PD: I bought the magazine "Hobby Consolas" for 15 years, until I went back and searched the internet demanding reviews with really strong criticism.

Sillyness that's what. There are good games and bad games and Los does not fall into the bad. Yes there were problems but overall good stuff.
