Sadly, none of the themes really stand out to the point where I would consider them "iPod worthy", but it's not a bad score all in all as several cues, like the more fast paced "Escape", really growing on the listener with time. There is a bit of repetition in the soundtrack, though, with the end of "The Kidnapping" sounding exactly like "The 500 Million Yen Ransom", which is a little disheartening given the rather brief runtime too. Still, there are enough worth while ones, such as the slightly eerie "Hacking Message" and "The Real Trophy", to make this a pleasant experience. However, on the downside, this CD also adds little snippets of dialogue at the end of most of the themes. They aren't long samples, of course, but it's not that pleasant to have them constantly interrupting between the different cues all of the same. Overall, it's a decent score, nothing great, although I have found myself revisiting this soundtrack a lot more than I thought I would. On a closing note, for those confused by the translation for track 15, "Kamsahamnida" is Korean for "Thank You" and presented in Romaji, as that's how it appeared in the track listing.
