Much of the rest of the piece is treated as a war march with motivating string lines taking the lead. The first 50 seconds are quite ambient to accompany flying towards the battle scene, but listeners are soon dazzled with rich orchestral flourishes and explosive guitar work as the player arrives at the heart of the action. The first stage theme "Glacial Skies" lives up to the Ace Combat name and works beautifully in the game. It sets up the next two tracks well, the mission briefing theme "Briefing I" and the plane select theme "Sortie I", which feature a gritty combination of orchestral, electronic, and rock elements. Perhaps its most appealing moment is from the 1:26 mark with the entrance of a warm string melody, which forms the foundations of the Zero main theme. There is an epic tone throughout and so much tension within, yet the soundscapes are surprisingly calm and gorgeous too. The beautiful cinematic introduction reflects the hybridised style for the game with its soaring strings, gritty percussion, electronic overtones, and rustic guitar work. We hear traces of what is to come in Keiki Kobayashi's "Prologue". However, the epic tones and aerial momentum of the series' music is still present. Straying away from their largely orchestral work on Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, he offers more vibrant fusions with rock, electronic, and even Spanish influences on Ace Combat Zero. never surprise me when I listen to a new score and the soundtrack to the prequel Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is no different.
The music of Ace Combat has been a definitive source for variety in video game music for some time now.
