| "There is something to be said about music becoming a song, becoming an identity on its own without diminishing origins or efficiency in usage. Each song in Mirror’s Edge relays a story, a chapter of moods, events, and circumstances so believably well and decidedly slick." |

| "Mesmerizing throughout, the score for Far Cry 2 is an interesting experiment...In some respects, Canham’s score is a lot like a chamber world music album that recalls early efforts in the classical music world by groups like the Kronos Quartet." |

| "You can hear and feel performances, something that is missing from so many well meaning soundtracks. There is a large variety of textures and resonances in the percussion, some emanating from traditional percussion instruments, some from not so traditional." |

| "The music Paul Haslinger has written understands that you drive the car; he’s just there to heighten the experience. And because of that understanding, this is one of the better original racing soundtracks you’ll find in a modern racing game." |

| "Schyman’s scores are filled with orchestral details often missing in even the most high profile action film scores of which this has plenty of antecedents. Once things kick off, there is no holding back." |

| "Fans of Williams’ music for Harry Potter will thoroughly enjoy the musical world Hannigan has explored...While the shadow of Williams’ music is cast over the music here, this is very much Hannigan’s own music." |

| "You can tell it's someone else at the helm here and I think he deserves just as much credit for his statement as O' Donnell's Trilogy...The music represented on this release is strong enough to stand on it's own and not just on the shoulders of giants." |
