Hans Zimmer composes Crysis 2 score
Hollywood veteran helps out Crytek team.
Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer has lent his hand to Crysis 2's score, the game's publisher EA has revealed.
Zimmer - whose CV includes music for Inception, The Dark Knight and Gladiator - worked alongside in-house composers Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu on the forthcoming shooter's soundtrack.
"I was drawn to Crysis 2 because of Crytek's passion for the project and the world they created," said Zimmer. "And I am very happy with the outcome of our collaboration."
You can wrap your ears around his efforts when the Crytek-developed shooter launches on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 25th March, or you can download the soundtrack from iTunes, Amazon and various other digital retailers from 22nd March.

Either way, he absolutely pales in comparison next to the likes of Williams, Goldsmith and Herrmann.

Man I miss that show! Wonder if Henry Kelly is still alive.
The music on the original 360 demo during the map loading was truly fantastic. Seems to have changed on the PS3 one though :-/

Anyway, I play the demo every day. It is so great to finally have an excellent new FPS game again, I'm tired of replaying Borderlands and HL2. Can't wait to find the full version in my postbox.
