Eternal Sonata PS3
I finally got my hands on a copy of this game. Even though it was released on Xbox 360 back in 2007 before PS3's release which was the beginning of 2009.
Found it to be a colourful world between reality and fantasy and based around the famous composer Frederic Chopin just before he dies from Tuberculosis at
the age of 39, even though Chopin looks about 18 in the game to be honest. Its very child like game with no scenes of blood or swearing. Has an easy tutorial
section at the beginning of the game so you can learn what functions to use and how easy to use with the joypad. You get to meet various people and how they
play apart in Chopins dream world and become apart of his companies in his dreamworld.

The last dying days of Frederic Chopin the famous composer who is dying from ...
Advantages: Beautiful relaxing music. Rich instrumentation. Played with passion. Disadvantages: Not all instruments are from the period.
If I was ever asked to select my "desert island discs", top of my list would be Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. (I wonder if there's a category in the ciao café?. . . ) The six Brandenburg concertos, each with their distinct quality and sound requiring a different combination of instruments, are not only a delight to listen to but exemplify the intellectual musical genius of their composer, Johann Sebastian Bach. All six are composed in major keys creating and maintaining a cheerful, vivacious collection. The modulations of key demanded by the baroque conventions are skilfully completed and Bach's predilection for numbers and ornate touches are evident. I could say more but this isn't a musical analysis . . .
I am not alone in my high estimation, The Brandenburg concertos are now probably the best loved and most frequently performed ...
Advantages: Okay selection of songs Disadvantages: re-make of several songs not that good
Sonata Arctica is a power metal band hailing from Finland. In one decade, they have managed to produce 4 albums (up to 2006), 2 compilations and a DVD. In 2005, they also released a compilation called The End of this Chapter, then a year later, they release this CD. Why, I wonder. Perhaps the songs on the previous compilation wasn't enough to satisfy the fans so they made another one, or distro label wanted to line their pockets further.
This CD compromises of songs from all the albums pre-2006. There are two songs that have been re-made but all other songs remain untouched; it is for this reason why it isn't suitable for big fans of Sonata Arctica, they may have already got other albums that contains these songs anyway.
The track list are as follows;
01. The Ruins Of My Life
02. 8th Commandment
03. Don't Say A Word
04. Victoria ...
