One of the aspects of <EM>Queen - The Game</EM> that excited me the most when reviewing this DVD-Audio disc is their predilection to use unusual sounds in their compositions. To me, 5.1 surround is a perfect venue for some of the more esoteric of Queen’s songs. While I am by no means a rabid fan, I’ve always respected Queen’s music and have owned a number of albums in the past. I had never heard <EM>The Game</EM> in its entirety and was anxious to jump into this review when the DVD arrived at my doorstep. Of the songs that did lend themselves well to the format, Track 3 – Another One Bites The Dust was handled extremely well and is clearly the best mixed song on the album.

As a Queen fan I found the review to be painfully accurate. The Game, at least as I see it, was the beginning of Queen's demise. I bought this disc not expecting to be to be impressed, as it is my least favorite of their first eight albums, but more to second DVD-A in my collection.
Aside from this disc there is only one other choice in 5.1 from Queen.
Night at the Opera.
After hearing the way The Game was under done while at times over done I doubt I'll make that investment.

Wait for my review of Night at the Opera. If you didn't like The Game, you'll probably not regret holding off on Night at the Opera.
