Featured Review

The idea of a concert delivering music from the soundtracks from some of the most recognizable games in the industry is wonderful. Much like the feelings of the creators of this performance, I believe that the artistry of video games is far too often overlooked. The concert itself was great. There was a ton of energy and the music really reflected that. Even though the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra was performing these songs, it wasn't your typical "hush hush" type of concert. People were encouraged to get excited about the music which is what video games are all about. They want you to get excited about what you love. I believe this concert delivered on that idea and would definitely recommend it to others and I will be going in the future if it returns to the area.

Video Games Live is consistently, quite simply one of the best concerts I go to. I have been to many VGL performances (I think this one was my 6th), and it's always phenomenal. They are always trying to change up the show, and never play the exact same selections in the same areas or venues. For example, if they go to NJ twice, the second time will have at least a few different selections than the first. Usually, the differences in each show are fairly minor, but this performance was the biggest change to the concert series by far, and it was a very welcome change!

Everyone will have their favorite segments, but being a huge Nintendo fan, the Legend of Zelda and Mario segments are my favorite. A beautiful, talented young woman named Laura "Flute Link" Intravia, has become one of the main recurring members, and there are many segments including her. She is a great flutist and a phenomenal singer as well. She leads an amazing Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Medley, as well as an awesome Super Mario medley, which includes Mario songs all the way up through the Super Mario Galaxy games for Wii.

Long story short, this show is a must see for every gamer, and if you enjoy video game soundtrack music, BUY TICKETS to a show in your area NOW! They are always touring all over the world, chances are they will come to your location.

From classic 8-bit titles to MMORPGs to today's popular FPS's, this show had everything. Young or old, there is something there to tickle your fancy. The fact that it's video game music done symphonic is just mind blowing. It opens up a genre of music that usually you would just listen to in the background of your games and not pay much more attention to.

Heck of a show

Favorite moment: When the flute came in for Chrono Cross, I just about cried. Was gonna say Tetris but that clutched my heart. @

Setlist: Castlevania, Mega Man, Shadow of the Colossus, Earthworm Jim, Smash Bros. Brawl, Journey, Final Fantasy VIII, God of War, World of Warcraft, Tetris, Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong Country, Skyrim, Guitar Hero, Street Fighter II, Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross, Encore: Portal (Still Alive) @

Opening act(s): I witnessed the end of a costume contest. During the show: several videos, like Ms. Pac Man vs. Ghosts played with people running around a city in costumes, and little shorts between songs that mixed up two different games (like Donkey Kong vs. Mortal Kombat) for humorous visuals. @

Short version: The roof was blown off. Very minor quibbles.

Long version: The talent that performed for us held nothing back. Hearing fantastic nostalgic and contemporary video game music as performed by these talented musicians and singers was well worth the money. The vocalist Laura Intravia laid us flat whenever she sang, especially during the Tetris choir.. woo. The host Tommy Tallarico did commendable job with shredding his guitar for Castlevania, Street Fighter II and others. Some of his humorous banter was like "okay okay we get it" but I'd give the guy a high-five for captaining this ship. Please forgive me for failing to recall the conductor's name. He had a great sense of humor, like pretending to be asleep because of Jigglypuff ^_^ . The Acadiana Orchestra REPRESENTED, thank you so much for doing this show!! The instruments were ear candy the whole night. Choir, great jobs during God of War, Skyrim and TETRIS!! The visuals, lights and video screens, they really enhanced everything, with good timing.

Minor quibbles. Some of the humor was.. ehh. The bad video game titles was a little risque, not too bad but it wasn't worth the laugh if you get me. There was a little tech glitch with a monitor speaker or something, but it's a live show come on. Some of the lights shined DIRECTLY in my eyes, several times, and was a wee bit distracting. These criticisms pale to my commendations.

I loved how involved the crowd was with this show - it was as rowdy as an intense sports event and rock show combined...and we were in a performing arts center.

They played a variety of old school and new school video game music. Some of my favorites of the night being Skyrim, Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger, Zelda, and Tetris.

But I believe the best part was the standing and roaring ovation for the Guitar Hero contest finale. A visually impaired man wearing unique goggles (to see the screen) while rocking out won the contest finale by scoring at least 400K on Expert (when he was only required to play on Hard). It was the highlight of the night for sure. Rock on dude!

Thanks Video Games Live for an awesome experience!

I haven't played video games in years, yet I enjoyed this show very much. It made me look at video games in a whole new way, as not just a game, but a cultural event, filled with art and music, exposing my teens to things they might normally try to avoid. Since my kids are pacifists, I knew video games should not bear the burden of violence in society, but being around so many other gamers, I realized they are not the exception, but indeed are the norm.

I would recommend it for kids of all ages. My son and I really enjoyed the show. We would love to see it at a bigger venue with a bigger orchestra, but we are grateful that they were able to come to the Heymann Center. The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra and Choir did a great job. Laura Intravia was fantastic.

They take the concert to a whole new level, including the audience in many aspects of it, sing along to Portal's Still Alive, Guitar Hero Competition, whose winner gets to play on stage, Super Smash Brothers game on stage with audience members playing.

This event was one of the greatest concerts I've seen in a long time. I really loved the musical score and its a great idea to let the audience choose which songs are heard via Facebook. I also really liked the pre-show costume contests, Smash Bros Melee bit and the Guitar Hero bit.
