"Tour of Venice" is another highlight, evoking all of the emotion that a song about the beautiful Italian city should. It's an action-oriented piece driven by guitar power chords. "Venice Rooftops" is the score's most in-the-present track. It's tough to pick a favorite, but these two stand out. The cues established here are revisited on "Ezio's Family," which adds a sense of danger with urgent-sounding keyboards and strings. "Earth," the atmospheric opening theme, sets the tone with haunting vocal solos scattered throughout. For ACII, Kyd blends rich instrumentation and lush vocals into compositions which have a modern-day musical aesthetic, and yet they feel right at home in Renaissance Italy - the period during which the game's action is set. Kyd, who utilized a 30-piece orchestra and a 13-person choir while recording the score, has created a beautiful, sweeping soundtrack that's just as epic as anything you'd hear in a contemporary cinematic epic scored by Hans Zimmer of James Newton Howard. But Kyd's score for the recently released open-world action-adventure game Assassin's Creed II is his best work yet. I've never played Assassin's Creed III, so can't comment on that one either.Besides having a name that sounds like a Star Wars Expanded Universe character, Jesper Kyd is best known as the award-winning composer of numerous videogame scores, including the Hitman and Assassin's Creed series.
ASSASSINS CREED 2 SOUNDTRACK SERIES
I honestly don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about Assassin's Creed anymore, Ubisoft completely put me off this series with their terrible ports and yearly releases that just do not get me excited anymore. I do like the main theme, 'Pyrates Beware' and 'In This World or the One Below'.Īs for the other 2 main entries, I can't say.

I can see many people rating this highly, but as I do not like the 'pirate sound', I can't rate this one highly. My fifth favourite is the Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag soundtrack. I'm not saying the other tracks are bad, I just didn't like them as much. Other tracks that I really like were 'VR Room', 'Fight of the Assassins' (Epic track), and 'End Fight'. Tracks like 'City of Rome', 'Echoes of the Roman Ruins' and 'Rome Countryside' are fantastic.

Some of the best tracks are on this soundtrack. Not many tracks on this soundtrack were memorable in my opinion, but that once that are memorable are damn memorable alright. My fourth favourite soundtrack is the one in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. The others on the soundtrack like 'City of Jerusalem' and 'Flight Through Jerusalem' perfectly catch the vibe of the first game. Tracks like 'Acre Underworld', 'Masyaf in Danger' and 'Meditation of the Assassin' are haunting tracks.

It has very dark songs and other songs on the soundtrack that completely capture the setting. My third favourite soundtrack is the original Assassin's Creed soundtrack, the first game.

That soundtrack is a close second to AC: II. The AC:R theme is great, but tracks like 'Istanbul', 'Byzantium', 'Welcome to Konstantiniyye', 'The Crossroads of the World' and 'Sofia Sartor' really finish it off. The Revelations soundtrack has so many good tracks. My second favourite in the AC franchise is Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It is personally my favourite game soundtrack of all time. Track on that soundtrack is master level, from beginning to end. On top of that I'll even add that AC: II has one of the best soundtracks of any game, ever. The majority will say that Assassin's Creed II has the best soundtrack of the AC franchise, and I'll agree with them.
