MONSTER HUNTER SOUNDTRACK BOOK

Monster Hunter was the first game in a very popular franchise dedicated to prehistoric quests such as monster hunting. On this project, Masato Kouda (Dungeons & Dragons, Wild Arms), Tetsuya Shibata (Devil May Cry, Power Stone), and Mitsuhiko Takano (The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Gotcha Force) collaborated to produce one of Capcom's most mature orchestral scores to date. The score almost flawlessly depicted the life of a monster hunter with its bold main themes and distinctive landscape, town, battle, and mini-game themes. The soundtrack was packaged with a 48 page book containing artwork from the game and detailed liner notes from the three composers. Is it such a satisfying listen on its own?
