It's nice to hear Dragon Force without all the techno garbage for once! Of all the user created music, I like to judge most based on how well it would fit into movies/media. Of course most won't ever be used or will not be intended for such a purpose, but it it's a nice thing to think about when planning flash.
That being said, if anyone decided to use Fury of the Storm in a movie, this version is much more suitable than the straight CD version. The piano gives it a rather interesting touch. If you wanted to really go hardcore on this song, I find that a more pronounced string edge does wonders for balance and transition. An alternate string chorus in those difficult piano sections could seriously give this character. Good job indeed!

Thank you very much for the words dude. I can understand what you mean about the whole 'judge if it can be used in the media' way of your judging.
I think this version is somewhat the CD versions 'evil' twin brother in the sense that the CD version there is alot musically going on at once (slamming a pick into a string 2000 times for instance) where as in this I had to find a way of playing those chords without smacking the piano 2000 times aswell, but when you put one instrument into the background another moves forward and in this case it leads way to the vocal section.
I will definatly take what you said about using the strings instead of pianos for the difficult sections as it would be a nice way to bring them forward and have their own limelight.
