1Overall Description
Classical, quite massive soundscape. Low rumble gives just the perfect bottom to build up any scary, horror atmosphere. What's great in this song, that it stays as opening all the way to the end. Somehow I got strong reminder of Eric Serra's - Leon the Cleaner soundtrack.
 
2Creativity Description
Well, as a composition it's very professional, everything seems go on flawless. Unique, hard to say, but it has entertaining style, as game soundtrack requires, atleast that's what I think. By entertaining I mean, that this piece could go even deeper, as a classical composition, but now it has certain "lightness", which is, I think, hard to achieve, as composition still has that "serious-heavy-classical" atmosphere.
 
3Artistic License Description
Hmm, I believe this composition could go far deeper, but hey, it's opening. As a opening it gives you just perfect waiting mood, makes you to wait something to happen. Maybe not the most unique, ( as there is so much soundtracks ) , but this composition stands by it's pure professional sound.
 
4Arrangement Description
Everything is smooth, arrangement is perfect. Horns are built up nicely, not too powerful. Crescendo, and diminuendo is notable ( in whole composition), not too powerful.
I'd say, whole piece has nice dynamic structure, it never actually explode, which could ruin whole opening atmosphere.
 
5Sound Quality Description
Professional work, samples/packs/ are well chosen and mixed together. Choirs are especially, is what I like. Mixing is clear, no real technical problems to my ears.

Maybe that kettle? drum is too familiar to this genre. I know, it works, it gives this composition even darker atmosphere, but I personally heard it too many times in this type of genre. ( It's just my opinion )

7Does it work as a piece of music Description
As opening to game, just perfect. As classical composition, yes, but could go deeper.
