Rayman Legends

Rayman Legends

Some of the music sounds like it was composed by John Williams.
Keep in mind that he was responsible for a lot more than just the opening to Star Wars. Some of it sounds like a few of the action sequences in Star Wars and E.T.
I know John Williams didn't actually composes the score to this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if he and maybe James Horner and Danny Elfman were an influince on this game's composer.

The music for Rayman Legends was composed by Christophe Heral, Michelle Ancel's old friend and collaborator and simply an awesome guy. I mean, look at him, he's like Santa Claus' nephew! (he's the one playing ukulele, btw)

That said, the Legends soundtrack does sound like it was influence by cinema scores, which is not surprising since the game itself is heavily stylised. I kinda liked the Origins sountrack better though for its catchy tunes which made the game sound more like a quirky cartoon rather than a blockbuster movie.

Actually, more like the mixture of Ennio Morricone and John Williams. Some of the soundtracks are extramly close to the american western music.

I'll have to look Ennio Morricone up. I'm more familiar with John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Giorgo Moroder, someone whose name is on the tip of my tongue but I can't think of for some reason, Koji Kondo (it makes sense to include game music composers) Dave Grusin (the guy who did the Goonies score) to a lesser extent, and Christopher Young to an even lesser extent. Then there's ... sorry, I'm getting carried away and getting seriously off topic. Just let me say that I'm very mildly familiar with John Murphy (28 movies), Klause something-or-other (Saw movies), Alan Menken, and ... okay, I'll stop!!

Ennio Morricone to Italian is like the John Willams to Americans! Both are legendary figures. You almost shared the same interests with me! James Horner I suppose his theme melody is the most significant. John Willams famous for his emperial orchestra. Hans Zimmer is my favorite no doubt! Some others John Powell, Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, Vangelis, Even Yanni!

If you're making an action movie, Hans Zimmer should be the first composer on your list. The Rock, The Dark Knight, and Broken Arrow can attest to that.

Yep, however, compared with his early works, Hans Zimmer is now becoming somehow sentimental. Man of Steel
