Split Second

I'm not much of a racing gamer. But I have to say that, I never had so much fun since Midnight Club 2. Split Second offers you the music that's loaded with adrenalin. The audio directors are Steve Emney and Steve Rockett. The audio playback engine is FMOD, so I had the chance to look at the FMOD Sound Bank file (.fsb). Each music has three levels of intensity. But the "Elite Race" track has a laid back AND ultimate challenge feeling which slightly stands out. The blurry lead tone on top of a breakbeat groove turns into ripping Wagner-esque french horns as the intensity rises. Also the fragment composing for explosion achievement and race end sequences are well implemented. In explosion achievement sequences, the music falls and runs into a crescendo right after which sounds good.
