The sounds of a video game are its letter of introduction. Design a soundtrack that will go down in history thanks to this program"

When people hear words like “Super Mario”, “Zelda” “Devil May Cry”, it is very likely that in their minds they play the characteristic sounds and music of each title. Therefore, the soundtrack of a video game is much more than the way in which a scene is set. This is its seal of presentation which, if well executed, could go down in history as one of the most economical.

On the other hand, the sound is so important that it allows players to become more involved in the game's kinematics. Everyone tenses up when in Resident Evil 2 (Original and Remake), the music changes drastically at the appearance of Nemesis.
