Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought epic battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth. With a new threat looming, it's time to bring them back to join forces with the Skylanders to defeat KAOS. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power to unleash their strength in the ultimate battle to save Skylands...

Skylanders: Giants is the latest game set in the Skylands universe. Like last year's [2011] Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, the score is composed by Lorne Balfe.

The album has 15 tracks and contains 31 min, 57 sec worth of music. Of all the tracks, I'd have to say that the suspenseful 'Drill-X's Big Rig' was by far my favourite. This is closely followed by 'Arena Battle' (which also reminded be of Balfe's score for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2); and 'Bringing Order To Kaos'.

This is an enjoyable score that will find a special place in the soundtrack collections of gaming fans everywhere.
