Awards and Reviews for WarHawk’s Orchestral Score
Winner “Best Music, Best Graphics, Best Shooter for 1995: Warhawk for Playstation.”
Video Games Magazine, February 1996
Rating A
“Warhawk’s music is absolutely fantastic. It is majestic modernized orchestral music, with the feel of a Batman movie soundtrack. The music just fits the game so well, it gives one that Star Wars ‘it’s me against the world and I’m going to win’ feeling.”
Microsoft, Internet Explorer, Dec 1995
“But the thing that really kicks Warhawk into the ‘A’ rated, must-buy category is the music. There is a very John Williams (Star Wars) feel to the soundtrack in Warhawk that really intensifies the gameplay.”
PSX, Dec 1995
“Did I mention that the music is the best on any game, ever? A team of musicians has gone to great lengths to ensure that this game sounds a lot like Star Wars, or Batman, or any other rousing movie score you can think of. Best of all, the music is context-sensitive…”
Ultimate Gamer, Dec 1995
“The musical score…creates an interactive and mood-altering ‘visual sound’ that brings the game alive. At times, the score becomes so ominous that one can’t help but recall the ‘March of the Storm Troopers’ orchestration from Return of the Jedi.”
Entertainment, Nov-Dec 1995
“The scores… take advantage of musical composition and arrangement new to the interactive entertainment software industry,”
Next Generation, Sept 1995
“…this is the blow-away flight sim/combat game of the year. Amazing graphics, innovative game play and a perfect soundtrack make Utah developer SingleTrac an instant gaming star.”
Salt Lake Tribune, 1995
“… the orchestral music sounds like something from Star Wars.”
Game Pro, Jan 1996
“The graphics are incredible, the music is driving and the options are limitless.”
The Salt Lake Tribune, Nov 20, 1995
“…the ominous soundtrack fits the elegant scenery and compelling gameplay quite well, lending a kind of ‘twilight struggle’ feel to the game.”
Next Generation, Sept 1995
“…War Hawk still holds its own after more than three years out of the spotlight. This fight combat game packs killer sound and challenging battles.”
Game Informer, Mar 1999
“The icing on the cake has to be the magnificently orchestrated music and sound effects that accompany the graphics. They add another dimension to the game…”
Video Games, 1996
“The music is all with a full orchestra with some modern instruments peeking in and out. If you have a good stereo hooked up to your machine, then this is a good one to blast. I don’t mean blast, I mean *BLAST”… The music is every bit as cool as Return Fire for 3DO, except it is modern and new.”
