Created by Steven Spielberg, Medal of Honor is one of Sony PlayStation’s most convincing wartime video games. The soundtrack for this enthralling WWII adventure is equally riveting, a varied mix of sweeping orchestrations and dramatic moments that evoke the marches, chases, and tension of war. Not surprisingly, composer Michael Giacchino sounds reminiscent of John Williams here. But Giacchino–also the mastermind behind the video game soundtrack to The Lost World: Jurassic Park–throws some curve balls into this symphonic work. “The Road to Berlin” is cabaret-tinged big band jazz, “Panzar Attack” features riveting, low-end brass, and “The Road to Berlin (Radio Berlin)” is somber swing filled with plenty of white-noise static to evoke the fragile era. Obviously, the video game format eliminates epic, orchestral passages that some movie scores obtain. No matter, this is still an excellent score.
