After reading Guido's review, I couldn't agree more about how insane this transfer looks.
Woa man, the colors, the colors. There is minor grain & some areas appear to look flat or soft occasionally. Detail is quite consistent throughout & oh did I mention the colors! Damn, there is almost too much for the eyes to take in. I was gonna mark this title as "reference" just for that reason, unfortunately the rest of the transfer isn't all flawless. The audio sure is though. Almost night & day difference between the Dolby (640kbps) & the LPCM (4.6mbps) one. The only thing the dolby track almost matches the lossless track, is with its dialog. The LPCM one has the surrounds & mains active throughout the action scenes & the musical numbers while dialog is loud & clear. I find the best audio tracks are ones which make noises you can't pin-point the channel it is coming from.. well this soundtrack has plenty of that making an impressive 360 soundstage.
HD Video - 9/10
HD Audio Dolby Digital - 8/10
HD Audio LPCM - 10/10
