Review by JT on 6 May 2024review stating So much more than a game soundtrack...
Shadows of the Empire was the first N64 game I bought, and I'll never forget my first experience with it, watching the snowspeeders fly over Hoth with the ACTUAL John Williams soundtrack from The Empire Strikes Back blasting in the background.

rated MIDI versions of our favorite tunes. Not this game - it had the real thing from start to finish.
As the game wore on, the classic John Williams tunes gave way to new, different music that was unique to the game. That's where this soundtrack comes in. The actual tunes in the N64 game are a bit compressed, but here, they're allowed to breathe to their fullest. And as the record is pressed by Varese Sarabande, you know the quality is top-notch. It's incredible, from the classic tunes you already know to the new tracks composed just for the game. And the cover art and inserts are no slouch, either, with high-quality prints and graphics.
This isn't just for fans of the game - it goes for any Star Wars fan that wants something familiar, yet new at the same time. A high-quality release of a high-quality soundtrack. You really can't ask for more!! Read LessRead less about Shadows of the Empire was the first
