So I noticed a lot of people didn't take the time to actually READ the track list. You can see the track lists on all 4 Halo cd's right here on the page so it shouldn't be any surprise that H2 vol 1 isn't there. That being said, yeah it would have been nice to know that the 5th disc was the Halo Wars bonus dvd.
Love the tracks though. Love the box set and love the preview of Halo Wars.
Rating: - Incomplete.
As others have said, this set is missing Vol. 1 of the Halo 2 soundtrack, I imagine because of licensing issues... However, my issue with this is that it doesn't say that in the product description. I didn't know Halo 3's soundtrack had two disks, and I bought this before there were any customer reviews posted, so I didn't know this before I bought it.
Still, the music itself is great, and I'd still recommend this to any Halo fan that doesn't already own the CD's in this set.
Rating: - Extremely Disappointment
I was disappointed to find that the Trilogy only contained Disc 2 of Halo 2's music, which in my opinion is the lesser of the 2 disc. Microsoft didn't even make an attempt to hide fact its disc 2. It's say Halo 2 Volume 2 right on the disc.
I figured the bonus DVD was worth the price though, but I was wrong. The bonus DVD contains 2 videos. The first is a montage of clips with people working music soundboards to a Halo Wars song. The second is only half of the Halo Wars Intro video ... Read More
Rating: - Can't Just Cut and Paste
As the title says, you can't just play cut and paste with a "complete" soundtrack. It's either complete or its not. There's no such thing as a "complete" soundtrack that omits an entire CD. Two of my favorite pieces: "The Last Spartan" and "Earth City" are from the Halo 2 Volume 2 Soundtrack. I think it is very deceiving to omit this soundtrack and advertise as "complete". A far better experience is to buy all of the CD's separately to enjoy the entire score. Marty's work for the Halo games is amazing, ... Read More
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
