Which soundtrack do you prefer? The moody FM Genesis version or the new age SegaCD version?

>> No.5148693

Genesis for both. The CD music is good and nice listening on it's own but doesn't fit the games quite as well. Genesis music is just plain awesome.

I've only played the genesis version so I don't know if the CD version is actually more or less atmospheric, Genesis I guess

You really don't know how much I love this game.
When it first came out I was 6 years old and it blew my mind. Of course it makes me mad at times. A shame the third game never came out.

You should listen to the SegaCD sountrack, its good enough to stand on its own, and a few tracks are really stand out

I've had compound memories in my brain for years of seeing that game cover of Ecco fused with Knuckles and a dragon from the Aladdin animated series, which Ecco has a mullet hairdo

Genesis. I didnt really care for the CD ost for ecco 2

I prefer Genesis music but I prefer playing the CD version for the extra checkpoints.

FM synth fits the scary alien machine future perfect. The LaserActive version is pretty comfy

CD. The FM instruments are poorly made.

But the CD composition doesn't suit the game nearly as well.

I feel genuinely bad for a little kid who's parents bought him Ecco because there was a dolphin on the cover.

It's actually great, just not in the same continuity or written by Ed.

What are you trying to say?

>> No.5153518

Never played the CD version (didn't even know there was a CD version of Ecco 2, tbqh) but the Genesis soundtrack is fucking great.

I'm trying to say that a parent might mistake it for a kid friendly game because dolphins are often seen as cute.

The CD version of the soundtrack would be something I would listen to even outside of the game, but the FM soundtrack just has that very "game-y" feeling.
