The remixed graphics are a definite strong point of the game, but the recreated music is high up on my list of outstanding improvements as well. The newly remastered "Brinstar", "Kraid" and "Ridley" themes add a very pleasant flavour to the easygoing experience of the game.That is, until I was exposed to the astounding Metroid Metal and Relics of the Chozo projects yesterday. I've said my piece before about the Symphony of the Night soundtrack, and how hearing traditional guitar rock intertwined with familiar 8-bit themes is candy for the ears. Electronic or techno interpretations of your favorite video game music is a natural progression. But when you throw rock at the source material, it creates an entirely new musical vision - as if Joe Satriani had a controller in his hands first.
