The music in "Frederic: Evil Strikes Back" has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a significant departure from the classical compositions of Chopin featured in the first game. While some appreciate the new renditions of modern pop songs and find them enjoyable, others feel that the absence of Chopin's music diminishes the game's overall appeal. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight, but it lacks the memorable quality of its predecessor, leading to a divided reception among fans of the series.
“This game is great, would recommend whenever it goes on sale; it's goofy but this game was clearly made with love and the music is enjoyable 9/10.”
“The music is amazing, the background art is fun (and sometimes seriously distracting) and I don't think I've ever smiled so stupidly in every single level of that game - it just makes you wanna laugh.”
“The soundtrack is easily equal to, if it doesn't surpass, the first game's, and the gameplay hasn't been radically changed, but mixed up just enough to keep it fresh.”
“The big issue is that the music is no longer arrangements of Chopin's music, so if you liked that aspect of the first game you'll be disappointed.”
“The music though, which was a high point of the first game, isn't quite as good—gone are Chopin's tracks, replaced by remixed tracks from other famous musicians.”
“What made the first game special, the music, is why the sequel falls flat on its face.”
