MIDI Week Singles: "BGM #02" - Ace Combat Advance (GBA)

 


"BGM #02" from Ace Combat Advance on the Game Boy Advance (2005)
Composer: András Kövér
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Namco Hometek Inc.
Developer: Human Soft Inc.


I'd like to say that I love the Ace Combat franchise, except I think I like fewer games in the series than I've actually played.  Ace Combat Advance is one of the early games that I have not played, and by the look of it, I think I like it more in concept than in actual execution.  A top-down aircraft shooter like 1943 but in free-roam does sound pretty cool, but apparently wasn't executed all that well.

What I like about this particular song is that it gives me stealth mission vibes and I can't quite place why.  When I listen to it, there's something about it that makes me think of Pefect Dark running around either the Carington Villa or the snowy mountain airport.  It's just a groovy little tune that I enjoy listening to and for me at least, makes those six minutes fly by even though the melody repeats nearly a dozen times.

That's really it.
