The two disc set begins with the “Main Theme,” an overture-like piece that introduces one of the several themes of the game.
In contrast, the second disc of the soundtrack comes with a second disc with tracks not included in the DS version of the game. The first disc of this album is identical in content to the previously-released soundtrack for the DS version of the game. I’d especially recommend the release if you only own the DS version of the game even though Level 5 made some changes to the game card to accommodate for such an intricate score, the complexity of an entire symphonic ensemble is just not meant for the speaker of a DS. For any soundtrack aficionados out there, I highly recommend getting the full two disc version of the score (personally, I am almost always a fan of the extended score to anything, and this score is worth it). Two soundtracks were released after the game: a Japanese one disc release featuring a set of music from the DS version of a the game, and a Western two-disc set that included both this score and the additional music from the PS3 game. Like any Ghibli work, Ni no Kuni comes with Joe Hisaishi’s magical touch. Whereas composer Rei Kondoh created the background music for the score, Hisaishi was responsible for the cinematic score for Ni no Kuni, performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
A Ghibli piece through-and-through, Ni no Kuni deserves its reputation as one of the most highly rated games on the Nintendo DS and Sony’s PlayStation 3. Oliver is then transported to an enchanted world with his companion, a doll-turned-fairy, to defeat the dark wizard Shadar. The game begins when Oliver, a young boy with a fascination for all things mechanical, is rescued from an accidental death by his mother, who subsequently dies from a heart condition. With simultaneously simple and complex mechanics, storyline, and emotional threads, Ni no Kuni reminds us of the role of art in video games, both in the physical appearance of the game and thoughts left with the player after it’s all over. Ni no Kuni, a game co-developed by Studio Ghibli and Level 5, is a fantastic addition to the gaming world, especially during a shift of console generation and a subsequent rush for cutting edge graphics.
