Power Unlimited: “The campaign is fine; the action is bold, the sound is phenomenal.”
PSX Extreme: “The sound hits your stereo system like a Mac truck going Mach 5. There’s a driving, ceaseless soundtrack that continually amps up the action, and the surrounding effects greatly enhance the immersion. The war zones you must traverse are loaded with beautifully gritty ambient audio, punctuated by the urgency and suddenness of deadly combat.”
LevelUp: “The audio is an issue that often goes unnoticed, but in the case of Advanced Warfare it is remarkable and just as authentic as the visuals. That is, each drone, flying jet, laser, explosion or shot has unique nuances that demonstrate dedication to the development. An explosion, for example, is not just a Hollywood thunderclap. It is also followed by the sound of small soil particles falling soon after that are perfectly distinguishable. The blades of an aircraft, metal exoskeletons flexing their joints, the boost jump, all play with absolute fidelity. If you buy or rent the game, it’s worth turning up the volume and enjoy it with good headphones.”
God is a Geek: “The sound design is especially worthy of note, as expected. The score by Harry Gregson-Williams and Audiomachine, along with the sound effects are what come together to truly elevate Advanced Warfare, without you even realising it.”
