The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the cool soundtrack and the option for both original and CD audio, others find it underwhelming or inconsistent, particularly noting issues with muted cinematics. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight for some, but not universally praised.
“Pro: it's a bit more serious; unique mechanics for the era; cool soundtrack; you have a team of basic NPCs to help you eventually, if you can keep them alive.”
“I will say the music is cool and some of the enemy designs are pretty fun, but you don't see them often.”
“The game offers both original and CD audio options, providing an alternate soundtrack that would have colored the experiences of original players or shareware soldiers.”
“Menu, weapons, music, level design, etc. all seem to be a downgrade; even though this game came out 2 years after Wolfenstein 3D.”
“The game offers both original and CD audio options, providing an alternate soundtrack that would have colored the experiences of original players or shareware soldiers -- but sometimes cinematics are completely muted.”
“Only 'bad' thing I gotta say is the music is meh, but put on some good ol' 1980s German heavy metal (Accept, Brainfever; for example) or Iron Maiden and onward to victory.”
