Man, every time I hear the opening saxophone, can actually feel the sadness and pain Fortune endures throughout the game. It's so good!

Goosebumps. Those female characters in MGS...

A DUD!

MGS for the ps1 is legendary.. but there's something about the new style of humor displayed in mgs2 and 4 that's so great.

"Come, put me out of my misery."

Make a grown man cry. Sexyist sound I ever herd in my life

God this is so badass, I have noticed a thing with the Japanese, they create to most heart felt and ever lasting games. The first game that comes to my mind is Final Fantasy VII. FF7 and MGS2, where years ahead of their time. The sound tracks to these games were perfection. Any time each particular game wanted to express an opinion, the music was dead on... If you were starting to feel sad, the music was already there to carry your sadness alone. If you were afraid, the music was already there.

"Today's just another bad day!"

I rember playing this and seeing fortune for the first time... The sax just gets me.. Kojima realy knows how to put things together.. And props to harry gregson williams.

Solidus: "I won't stop you... Good luck." Fortune: "Thanks, but I have quite enough of that."

THATS WHY I LOVE METAL GEAR

This piece of music should be called "end my misery" as a reference to the first thing Fortune says. This really creates a sense of isolation and suspense, especially at the beginning and sums up Fortune as a character.

Beautiful, just Beautiful.

"My name is Fortune...Lucky in war and nothing else."

There's a song by David Gilmour from Pink Floyd called "Red Sky at Night" that sounds very similar to this song. It's a great tune in its own right and i'd recommend it to anyone who likes this song.

Ty, cause that was driving me crazy. She's my fav character from that entire game & I love her song.

Good god man. I haven't played this game in YEARS and hearing the sax on this track still makes me get the chills. It's so nostalgic, I can almost perfectly remember the first time you see Fortune and she blows the Navy SEALs away on the connecting walkway between the first two struts. Much love for posting all of these soundtracks man.

ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST

I like how this theme starts as a melancholic one and at 0:43 it becomes dark and assertive.

She is Lady Luck.

And Vamp get the president on his back and says: Queen...

Thank you, very much.

''My name is Helena Dolph Jackson, the daughter of a proud and noble soldier! I can finally see my family... again.''

I LOVE this song but I wish there wasnt this generic MGS music in the middle. I just want the gorgeous sax sound!!!!! does anyone know if theres a cover of it or another version with JUST the sax? Actually, does anybody know any great sax solos in general? Id really appreciate the input!

The best series in all of gaming...

"I HATE EVERYONE AND I WANT TO DIE!"

Great Music thank you :)

just kinda feel like the whole theme behind the music ive heard so far off this album would fit in an old detective film

"Im so sorry my beauties. I see you again someday." Man the character and the music hits me in the feels man

This is as jazz as I like to get. It feels like a sequel theme to Taxi Driver as well.

epic and awesome. thats all what i can say.

Ah I love soprano saxophones. I have played one and it's definitely the funnest to play. I wish I had the sheet music for this song...

A very interesting character but not developed as much as she was supposed to be

That the beginning of MGS2....

i love fortune theme

"She is Lady Luck"

''Why won't I die ?''

Metal Gear is so unlike any other game series out there. The character development really makes you connect--- makes you feel BAD for the people you're supposed to kill. Not to mention the politics, the philosophy, and the music. And they say video games are just mind-numbing and violent!

for lack of this quote on the first page... "Another bad day"

If you like the bluesy vibe, though, here you go. The bluesy vibe is what I love!

I wish i could find somehow the music with the saxophone alone Best theme in game ever

@alvaroduck Oooooh the memories this sound used for the entrance of my character #Fortune. It was the soundtrack to my struggle. Thanks for sharing it #Fortune aka MauLa Gale aka #MauraGale aka Helena Dolph Jackson

That is becasue the tune is the same the first 45 secs of the song as "Calling to the Night" I love the MGS songs along with the Series as well. it is so epic

My name is fortune , Lucky in war and nothing else

Fortune: come...put me outa my misery

@punkymunky23 Yeah when you think about it most of the "bad guys" weren't really all that bad they just got screwed or had a shitty life. Fortune for example lost everyone that mattered in the course of a few months.

@ridiai99 wow, that's deep man. that scene you discribed reminded me of hey Arnold though :p

What she said after that was even cooler in my opinion: The daughter of a proud and noble soldier!

Harry Gregson-Williams is a fucking genius...

@yippee9 If you count her actual screen time, she's probably featured for less than twenty minutes. And yet you do end up feeling something for her in her final moments. Though not as limited, same goes for Emma and Olga. Hell, even, to a degree, for Solidus. I do love seeing that SOB of Vamp dying.

Fortune, simple as that.

"my name...is Helena Dolph Jackson" i was sad at that point

It's probably done unintentionally, but I just noticed that this is straight from “Meeting” by Zbigniew Preisner (Requiem for my Friend).

@MultiHERO92 Nope, that was Solidus. Ocelot laughs at Fortune's reply and says that charades usually are humorous when she asks him what he's laughing about. And yes, I'm a complete geek for actually knowing this from the top of my head, haha!

I already die one time Queen, I cannot died twice!

Well that makes two of us, so there you go. Haha.

Just learned the sax intro on guitar. :)

i played MGS 2 again only to hear this soundtrack...

A DUD

She really is Lady Luck ^^

I love Fortune and her theme music...totally says Sexy Femme Fatal. :D

@ImStillBlind umm, no he's the sax player... Harry composed the piece, with Steve Jablonsky...

@ridiai99 everything you said but instead an orange sunset in an expensive bar as he takes a drag on a cigarette staring at their untouched drink on the bar table as he reflects on the past.

I don't know a better theme to fit Fortunes charecter

this is another bad day...is there anyone that can give me happines??

@punkymunky23 Exellent comment my friend !!!

I dont know why everyone hated her she was a good idea for a charcter.

1:23 A dud!

agreed

@ridiai99 thats the best comment ive ever heard

God, it's a shame we couldn't have a real fight with Fortune... only that crappy "You cannot win" fight.

@punkymunky23 Best comment Ive ever read for metal gear solid

"I...am...halena...doph jackson....doughter of...a proud...and nobel....soulder...i can...finaly...se my family.....again...."

@punkymunky23 and then we hear what roger ebert had to say about vidoe games- it breaks my heart.

@MisterTownsend what did he say

is there anyone here that can get me happiness

can you replicate that sound in the beginning with a harmonica?

@MultiHERO92 I wonder if you could tell me the answer to a question I've been wondering about for years now. I HAVE to know what the song that plays at the end of every snake tales episode on Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is. It plays as the credits roll, ONLY for the Snake Tales episodes, nobody so far has been able to tell me the name of this song. I must know it.

today is another bad day

Sounds so tragic

@ulverup agreed.

Put me out of my misery!

i can babe, lol XD

Watched this trailer, and the music instantly reminded me of the scene with Fortune. Am I the only one?!... /watch?v=w4A20wvgvZ0 It's still quite a good piece of music, but you know where they got the inspiration from, MGS2!!

@MisterTownsend games like sons of liberty already exceeded anything accomplished by movies

Sounds like something out of Fullmetal Alchemist 2003.

If you need to download it, go to Galbadia Hotel.

come put me out of my misery

Don't let them take the president! That's wat I think of lol

@MultiHERO92 If you really know so much, then can you tell me...what the hell is MGS5 rising? All I know is it has something to do with Raiden, that's it.

@ridiai99 reminds me kinda on Blade Runner

@ohvist also not to mention her dad was cheating on her mom with Vamp. but I don't think she ever finds out about that one...

@Raiden1000002 literally lmao

me tho

please, tell me the notes...

@Raiden1000002 It's funny because it's true :D

very basic, immutable law of music: Sax equals Sex.

Haha funny guy...........

first of all, its not mgs 5 rising, its metal gear rising. secondly, and i apologize for bringing this up, raiden will never be able to take snakes place... Kojima fucked metal gear up, all by him self, then he abandoned ship.

Naa, she is dying, she has lost everything that she ever had, i don't really need to know about her father. Just what she says with that simple sentance says to me "I am just a human, just like you" with all that she goes through, she still is a human, a strong human.
