Sonic @ the Olympic Games OST Review

     

Summary


Yikes, I though I was done. This time just Sonic's at the Olympics for a new mobile game.

Why didn't Mario and Sonic at Tokyo have many remixes? Apparently Sega was saving the good stuff for itself!

Most of the remixes serve as boss-rival themes, but some are events. Windmill Isle, for example, is Table Tennis. 

Oddly some of the tracks I expected to be good, like "Supporting Me," seemed lackluster. The US Bad Future is just a remix of a remix (forces), so that was not as new. I wasn't expecting a horny version of "My Sweet Passion," ha.     

There are some new songs, mostly peaceful hub world types. Also a few songs seem to be reused, such as Ocean View from TSR and "Reach for the Stars" from Sonic Colors. 


Best Song: This Is Our World Remix

Runner-Up (s): Unknown From M.E. Remix, Tokyo Tourist Roppongi Hub, Throw It All Away Remix, Windmill Isle Remix, Sky Road Remix, Palmtree Panic Remix, Team Chaotix, Eggman's Adventure Theme Remix, Free Remix, Rush Adventure Boss Remix, Sonic Heroes Remix, Story/Go For the Gold    

There were plenty of good remixes. The reason I chose this was because in Sonic Forces the theme was alright, but kind of bland. This more energetic version is more memorable.   

 

Worst Song:  A Rival Appears

Runner Up (s): Victory, Prison Lane Remix, Supporting Me/Biolizard Remix, Main Theme, Let's DASH/Dash Remix, Olympic Spirit, Running Sunrise, Shibuya, Story/Happy  

It's start is very loud and annoying, and then it's fairly boring. 

 

Final Ranking: D


After the disappointing lack of remixes in Mario/Sonic @ Tokyo, this is a welcome surprise. If listening for the remixes only, this is defiantly the better of the two. However the exclusive stuff can get annoying and is not as nearly as good. Gotta' give it credit for being a better app OST, though.
