“General Kota and the Control Room” starts on a down note, giving the impression of a hopeless struggle against insurmountable odds. “The Force Unleashed,” the only piece here composed by Jesse Harlin, opens with defiant brass and a tense string melody in the background, making way for a powerful chord progression that comes in at the end to set the stage for this epic journey into the depths of the dark side. Honestly, I don’t know how much of the score was recorded by the renowned orchestra, but the sample libraries they used (if they did at all) must have been stellar because all the pieces here sound like orchestral recordings. I’ll start by saying that the score sounds amazing, with portions being recorded by the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra.

Read our impressions of a portion of the game’s score and find out where you can hear it for free after the jump. Familiar Star Wars motifs are used tastefully to enhance the experience and to remind gamers that they are indeed in the Star Wars universe, but the music in the game not only sounds amazing, but is completely original, sounding dark and moody as one would expect from a game focusing on the dark side of the force. It sounds as though we’ll be getting the latter this time around. I was curious how composers Jesse Harlin and Mark Griskey would handle the game’s music would they rely too heavily on classic Star Wars motifs, or would they create something truly original? I’ll be honest and say I haven’t been as excited about a Star Wars game in a long time, but The Force Unleashed is looking to live up to the hype. Because there won’t be an official soundtrack release… get it?
