I picked the game up a few days ago and am really enjoying it. Something that has really struck me, however, is how good the game's soundtrack is and how it really adds something to the game.
I think it's the best soundtrack in a game (excluding guitar hero/rock band) since Vice City, bar none. This is the first time since that Vice City that I have wanted to not get out of a car in order to continue listening to a song.
I just find it interesting that it isn't considered special anymore to have a soundtrack as good as it does. I remember back when Vice City came out they released the soundtrack on CD and it was a big deal and lots of people bought it. Nowadays the most you hear the GB guys say about it is "Yeah and the music is pretty good," I don't know if it's just expected now or what.
I know personal taste is a big factor here. And I can acknowledge that they pretty much just grabbed the top 100 from 1968 or whenever and stuck it in, but isn't that exactly what Vice City did? I'm just curious why more people aren't talking about it
