Ah, that would explain why they sound so similar, I was wondering about that.

Great news for me. I thought he did a great job in From Russia With Love. :(

And I swore to myself that it was music from the movie by David Arnold. How wrong I was. :(

Now knowing this shows that the game and film scores are considerably different. Here's hoping for a game soundtrack!

Flawed as both games are, they do have great music.

Lennertz:

Overall, the orchestra was about 64 [musicians] plus the rhythm section and guitar. It sounds huge....

....Ninety minutes was delivered in multi-track format, so after some interactive programming there was probably double that in terms of variations within the game.


Sweet!

At first I didn't like his overuse of the Bond Theme. But after replaying the game few times, I now think it's vital part of the game to remind us that we're actually playing a bond game. Instead of some action-shooter inspired by the two Bond Movies.

Edit: But the Bond theme and the gun barrel at the start sounds/looks lame. That theme sounds like it was made for Nintendo 64 and the gun barrel just looks..eh, retarded.
