Telltale's Guardians Of The Galaxy Episode 1 Review: 4 Ups & 6 Downs

2. The Soundtrack Is Fantastic

If there's one single aspect of the game that couldn't be much improved and feels totally on the money, it's the soundtrack, which is absolutely consistent with what people expect from this property: glorious cheese from decades past.

Electric Light Orchestra's "Livin' Thing" is played on loop in the game's menu while slow-motion glimpses of the Guardians play out, making it by far the most visually appealing of the Telltale menus so far, and the solid musical picks throughout represent some of the game's best attempts to capture the giddy tone of the movies (even though this isn't an official film tie-in, of course).

It may have clearly been made on a budget, but at least in one regard, it's obvious where the money went.
