Music is the a way to communicate emotions.
Wheter in a game or in a movie, the producers are always trying to pry an emotional responce from the aduience/player, and whilst a particular shot or an action sequence may set the scene, it's up to the music to grab your harm and guide you all the way throught it.
When i listen to music, it isn't unsual my mind starts popping images in relation to the emotion contained within.
In a movie, the image is actually there, music is there to complete the picture.
It's not about the medium (visual, aureal or interactive), it's not about listening to a CD or whatching a DVD, it's about EMOTION, it's about the reason why i do all this thngs in the first place.
This are not just different mediums for personal entartaiment. They all share the same function to me...
100% Agreed.
There where several places in KotOR where the music enriches the overall experience. Take the tune you hear at the Jedi Academy or at the Dantooine outback, it really gave you the illusion of being on some sort safe haven.
The tune "Bastila Shan", which is played at the temple summit deserves extra attention though, Jeremy Soule really outdid himself with capturing the atmosphere almost perfectly.
