Gears of War is a video game with theatrical production values. It is easily the Xbox 360's crown jewel and if it doesn't get topped by GeoW2 then it will not get topped by anything on that console this generation.

To be honest, it's a shame recorded music has replaced MIDI. Sure it sounds better but you can play a lot of tricks with MIDI music (like reshaping the whole tune to match the in-game action) that are impossible to pull off with pre-canned recorded soundtracks.

Just like it happened with graphics, greater fidelity in music has led to a loss of creativity and variation.

You mean like the music changing subtly in Banjo Tooie when you go to different areas, or in SSX the music stops and restarts if you stop moving.

I like things like that... if they can only be done with MIDI then I am perfectly fine with MIDI.

2 problems Riachu,

1. It was a joke.
2. Read my second sentence.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I thought the whole point of HD is realism.

HD gives you a higher resolution for a sharper image. Geometry Wars is in HD. The Simpsons game is in HD. Neither are realistic. They just look nicer compared to if they were in SD. More graphical power allows developers to create games that look more realistic, but that's separate to high definition.

You can do more than that: MIDI means the console generates the music real-time. You can change the pitch, the tone, everything. To be honest you can sort of replicate some of those tricks by recording a lot more music
