xTOXICxEMPIRE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Still Alive (Remix)]

Yeah, it's okay. Nice job.

Sorry man. It's a really great song and all, its just... the words are what I love so much about the original version. Its the humour in the original song that just gets me every time I listen to it. Don't get me wrong, this is a great song, I really like your version of it.

Great beat to it though. I really like the kinda techno feel you gave to it. Has a more upbeat feel to it, which I really like :P
Also, the "beepy" beat adds a little bit of GLaDOS to this song, which I think is also pretty awesome. I think it would've been cooler with an intro though, maybe like... a really funny GLaDOS or turret quote. They can be found in the resources folder in portal, under sounds. And also maybe a slightly longer ending, but apart from those points, awesome song. Nice work!

Believe me, I wish I could add vocals too! The moment I can, I will :)
Thanks for the review!

[Brambles {RMX}]

Well...

This is one of my favourite songs on brawl, and yours didn't disappoint.
However, what I loved about the brawl version, is its use of strings. You've obviously taken a different approach to the song, and I respect that, but it doesn't exactly live up to the brawl one. Then again, that's a fucking hard song to live up to.

Great job, I like the ambient mood of this song, its pretty calming. Not sure about the electric guitar type noises, but I guess it just adds to the overall mood of the song.
I enjoyed it, but the fact that I've heard the brawl version kinda ruins it for me. However, I won't hold that against you, you've made an awesome song here :P

8/10, 4/5.

CrimzonWolf777 responds:

hey thx for even reviewing this. I am aware that brawl did it better, and i plan on remaking this. to be honest, I love brawl's version better than all the other remixes i've heard. ^_^v

[Bridal Creeper]

Love it!

Abso-fucking-awesome song, I love this.
I actually can't stop listening to it, it's just so awesome!

Intro's great, endings good, and everything in between is just brilliant.
Really good to just listen, and chill to.
Well done, awesome song :D

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks, mate! So glad to hear you like it.
:3

[He's going to be the...]

Nice!

Top 6! Congrats!
Anyway, I thought it was pretty decent. A bit generic at times, but the piano worked well throughout. The dialog was a bit of an anti-climax, but meh. Scratching fitted in well, and you led up to some bits very nicely. Nice job, you're pretty skilled at what you do.

Well done!

(Just as a sidenote, what was the speech exert from?)

Michael425 responds:

Hey, thanks for the review man,

The clip was from the "Speed Racer" movie trailer. right off youtube.

[°°Haunted Village°°]

Very cool.

This is a really cool and creepy song man.

ATM I'm collecting songs for an upcoming... in the very distant future game I'm creating. A platformer RPG game. I've only done some character/world sketches, but it's coming along well.
And this is just the song I've been looking for. Although it would also fit in well for the underwater boss stage...

All I know, is that this is a fantastic loop, and is almost MADE for a game.
Thank you so much, for filling that niche Whirlguy, and for creating a freaking sweet loop!

Whirlguy responds:

No problem, I'm very glad you like it and even consider using it in future projects =D
Thanks for the review! :3

[Rig & Spawn - 16 Bar Assassin]

Hmmm...

Sorry man, but it doesn't start off that great.
Its just the intro. Fine quality rapping, The violins/strings sound great, and once it gets into it its awesome.
I think its just the start that ruins it for me. With the strings and bass, it sounds fine.

When the lyrics come into it, it starts turning into an awesome song.

Anyway, good job.

Rig responds:

Yeah, I don't really like the intro. But then again, this was just meant to be a quick song :P

Thanks for the review!

[Forever Gamer]

Fucking. Epic.

Now this is a dance song I can relate to!

I don't know how someone CAN'T give this a ten, its brilliant!
From the awesome Mario start, it just gets better from there.

Also, I had a NES, with Maniac Mansion on it. Awesome game, LOL.
Wicked lyrics, GREAT beat, and overall, an absolutely epic song.

"Together with my lads until I die."
So true.

SkyMarshall responds:

So true indeed :) Spectacular review! Appreciate it man =)

[Kirbys Dream Universe [orche]]

I absolutely LOVE IT!

Well, this is just a fantastic loop.
I'm a MASSIVE Kirby fan, and this loop definitely does the Kirby series justice, if not more.
I love the whole "Live performance feel" to it, and the way it comes together as a whole so well. You can easily tell it's the "Kirby in Dreamland" theme song, yet it's so original on its own.
Thinking about making an online Wii arcade style game, and if I do eventually get around to it, this is for sure, going to be the main song!

Youv'e made a Kirby fan very proud, Cheers, I love it!

BowserThedestructive responds:

Thanks :D I just noticed my score rank for this is 4# O_0 Woot :)
guess for sure the work on this one Payed off :)

[Nav - Wii Love 2 Play (Remix)]

Whoa.

That was just... oh man. Epic.

LOVELY rendition of Pose mii, very light, underwatery feel. I really like the bass at the start as well. This is just fantastic, mind if I use it in a submission?

5/5, deserves nothing less.

Nav responds:

Thanks! :D

Go right ahead, use it! :)

[Wii sports theme (Jakk Edit)]

Man, this rocks!

Great edit of the Wii sports theme!

I don't know why people would criticise it, its got a great original, SNES, airy feel to it.

Is it ok if I use it in a menu?

jakk-locke responds:

Thanks man :D

Hells yeah its ok to use, just ake sure you credit it though :P
