Inside The Musical Score Of 'GI Joe: The Game'

When you think about GI Joe, you probably don't think about the impactful orchestral score that plays during all the big battles with lasers. Well, you really should! EA has just released an interesting documentary on the creation of the score for "GI Joe: The Game," in which the composers talk about how best to highlight the emotional gravitas of the Joes.

At about 2:50 they start talking about making the music for specific levels in the game, trying to implement "cold-sounding strings" for the arctic environment, for example. Again, sorta interesting and not something you often think about.
