Camp California Soundtrack

[ccovell]

So the instrumental rock music found in the actual game isn't on this CD?  Too bad.  Does anybody else think that for laid-back California '70s rock, the ingame music for CC is really good?

In the end, the awfulness is just what I expected, and why I love it.  My girlfriend is in for a treat when we are in the car again tomorrow, so she can listen to these tunes.

Hahaha! One of the coolest posts I've read in awhile!

Yeah, the in-game music (non-Beach Boys) is CC is bad ass. It's obviously by the same folks that did the stellar Shape Shifter.

Speaking of Shapeshifter, I was playing DrumMania Masterpiece Silver when I noticed that one of the songs has the same music as in the forest on your way to the Spider Boss.

Anyone else listen to the CD yet?  What did you think?

My copy was delivered on Saturday, so I popped it in for the drive to work this morning; while I've only heard the first three songs, I'll agree that it's pretty horrible.  It's about what I expected, though: lot's of cheese with subtle lessons, as found in most children's music.

Shit yeah; the tunes fit the game perfectly.

Hearing all the wonderful reviews, I'm now perfectly content at mine being a "show piece" and not a "play piece".

Lame!  Open it up!

You can even crack the weird holographic sticker that holds the CD closed.  I never saw one of these before.

Mine didn't come with a holographic sticker. I got a fold out coloring page though.

No holo sticker here either, but is that coloring page the lyrics sheet?  I didn't bother to unfold mine. 


Nancy Cartright is listed in the credits; I guess that explains why Lil' Bro sounds quite a bit like Ralph Wiggum.

I guess it could be the lyrics sheet. I didn't unfold it either. Since it was a kids CD and there were some characters that were uncolored, I just figured it was a coloring page.

Sadly I think the music is actually the best part of this game. Gameplay wise CC is so annoyingly difficult despite the kiddish look of it all.

Music in game is awesome... better than the soundtrack.  Anyone ever actually beat this game?

Only by cheating...  But check it out anyway: http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/campcalifornia/index.html

I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go at the Military Base and stopped playing.

So like any good Turbo gamer I ordered a copy before sharing the link a few weeks ago.  When the disc arrived I listened to a few songs and threw it in the trash.  Seriously, this thing doesn't justify the space it takes up on a shelf.  The one use I can think of would be using the artwork to make a package for that alternate Camp California prototype we've seen pictures of if a ROM is ever found.
