I'm not sure if the game soundtrack is getting a domestic release, but for those in the US, you can pre-order the game on any format and get a bonus DVD with making of, one of the animatrix shorts AND the game soundtrack on CD.

EB pre order info can be found here

Just FYI really. It sadly doesn't look like EB/Game will be doing that deal over here in the UK sadly but I'm sure I will find a way to get it. It may be a nice addition to have if some are not all that happy with the 2 CD soundtracl/score release Reloaded is getting.

www.gamestop.com are also offering the bonus DVD though oddly make no mention of the game soundtrack CD, though they do state '1 song from the soundtrack' which would likely be that Chris Vrenna's 'Take the Pill' song written just for the game.

This has me worried EB's definition of soundtrack is just this one song (although they do specificaly state CD soundtrack). I will try and look into this further. It'd be quite a shame if the game score isn't put out in some way shape or form...

Don didn't write anything new for this game. Erik Lundborg, who adapted his music from the first Matrix, the Animatrix, and Reloaded (as Don was writing it) wrote a few new things.

Actually no, it features the actors, sets, and is an introduction to the movie Reloaded. In a way Reloaded is the sequal to Enter the Matrix. Which makes it different from all other movie to game adaptions.

I'm not sure what the music like, other than having parts adapted from The Matrix. As for the contents of the soundtrack, The developers won't release that info before its released :-/

The game sees you taking part in things not seen in Reloaded at all and also sees you continue scenes that are from Reloaded that don't continue out on screen in the actual movie. For instance in the movie a character may go off somewhere, and in the game you'll see (and control) where they go with your completion of your objectives resulting in goings on in the movie. Given those involved, it SHOULD be great, so fingers crossed.

As has been said actors and sets were used especially. The game has 1hr of exclusive footage written and directed just for the game's evolving sub plot to the second movie by the Wachowski brothers starring the film's cast and assisted by the films crew.

Oh well. My order is already cancelled.

I shall now sulk.
