"The music is absolutely stunning. The battle music is all timely and sets the proper tone for the area that you're in, and the different level themes are really wonderful, with some that especially stand out above the rest, and are even worth setting your controller down, and just listening to the game for a while."

"The music ranges from memorable to beautiful to inspiring. Early in the game, when you emerge from the catacombs, there is an amazing segment where you control Spyro and Cynder in flight as they descend upon the forest. It is set to a gorgeous song, and it was at this point that I became immersed in Dawn of the Dragon. For the music (of all elements) to grab me like that was amazing, and speaks to its brilliance."

"It’s the most fitting soundtrack I’ve seen in a game for a long time, with shades of Halo 3's audio relevance."

"The excellent score, with its urgent, rousing choral sections and lush orchestrations, creates an emotional pull..."

"The first thing that will strike you about the sound, is the absolutely astounding orchestral soundtrack that accompanies the game. I am serious when I say this is one of the most amazing works of music that I have ever heard in any game, and it really gives the game the feeling of enormity reserved for cinematic epics like The Lord of the Rings."

"The game spared no expense in the audio category, signing on the likes of Elijah Wood and David Spade in the top roles to accompany a surprisingly vivid and inspiring orchestral performance."

"...the best part about it is the incredible music by Spiralmouth... simply amazing."

"The music [for NOLF] composed by Rebecca Kneubuhl and mixed by Gabriel Mann not only falls right in line with anything you'd hear from the 60's era John Barry Bond movie soundtracks, but manages to capture a distinct feel of its own [and gives] the soundtrack a perfect authenticity."
