Game Music - Eternal Sonata

Hi everyone! Today's music comes from the RPG Eternal Sonata, available for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
It tells the story of the last days of Frederic Chopin, the famous composer, who is on his deathbed. And he is having a most peculiar dream... The whole game takes place in Frederic's lucid dream, where a bright and joyful world opens up, full of different people who have started to live lives of their own.
Though some might find the game a little too sugary sweet for their taste, I really like it. It takes a while before the story gets really interesting, but toward the end, it gets really good. It brings up some pretty interesting questions about what is real or not, and how reality might not be more than what each of us perceive.
And the music is wonderful. It mixes an original soundtrack with some pieces composed by Chopin himself, and it comes together brilliantly. Let's give it a listen!

"Remember Me"
It's a really good game, and what's more, you can even play three-player co-op if you want to. I used to play this with my younger brother and sister a few years ago. Good times...

  4. I kept the demo of this on my PS3 for over 2 years just because I loved the theme it played along with the the beautiful artwork of the game's titles screen. It's good to see a strong love of music went into this title. I really need to pick it up, it's pretty cheap now.
