Mass Effect 3
A lot of noise was made about Clint Mansell’s involvement in scoring the last part of the Mass Effect trilogy. But as it is the case quite often with big Hollywood composers attached to big releases these days, he didn’t contribute all too much, essentially just two central pieces for the soundtrack, those somewhat memorable piano parts for extra drama and tragedy.
Mass Effect 3 was a big game with a big score, one that had a lot of contributors. Among them series veteran Sam Hulick, Sascha Dikiciyan & Cris Velasco of God of War fame and Christopher Lennertz, another veteran composer. Jack Wall’s absence was felt, the score didn’t quite click as much as the ones for previous games, but nonetheless it was one of the year’s more impressive pieces.
