txa1265 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think that 'good' game music is very situational. From what I've seen, the majority of people here seem to like metal or pop, and fewer, rap. That seems to constitute the vast majority of people here. Yet some download the KotOR soundtrack, or enjoy the orchestral scores to various RPG games. Not because they are fans of that type of music, but because it works. Conversely, the same music that works in one game would be completely wrong for another. Imagine the Painkiller music during KotOR. Yet there is also much music that just falls flat. I can't really remember anything special about the music for many games. Doesn't mean it wasn't good or bad, it just didn't stand out. So rather than 'best' music, perhaps it is 'best fit' game music: - The music during Yavin Training in JKII - During the Correlian tram level in JA - Painkiller's music (so far as I've gotten) is fitting for the ripfest. - Thief's non-soundtrack is very fitting. - KotOR is just great ... anything by Jeremy Soule.

Sabretooth Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I mostly like Rock, Rap Metal and Cool songs. Cool-Songs with a nice tune, good instruments and uh... 'slammin' soundtrack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Dark Forces has an amazing soundtrack. Download Lundquist's snazzy mp3 version from the Dark Forces Mod website. Shenmue also has a brilliant soundtrack, especially the orchestral stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie™ Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Two words; Chrono Trigger! I want to check out the Quake soundtrack too, knowing how Trent Reznor recorded it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Keralys Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 - The music during Yavin Training in JKII - During the Correlian tram level in JA I agree wholeheartedly. HALO (and every bit of music I've heard from HALO2 demos). MYST game series music, very ethereal, very pretty, very fitting to the games. Especially for MYST and RIVEN, though... Gotta throw in Age of Empires II, just because it's a nice background to what you're doing. Freespace I and II, both of which had very nice scores. And of course, any SW game in general that has John Williams music in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Can't believe no one's mentioned the Command & Conquer soundtracks. Some of the best beats ever composed for a series of games.Best one has to be C&C: Red Alert, with 'Hell March' and 'Bigfoot'. Pretty much anything by Nobuo Uematsu is gold. My personal favorite soundtracks from the FF games are FFVI and FFX. FFX-2 also has a pretty funky soundtrack, but Uematsu wasn't behind that one. Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi came up with some good beats for that adventure. Yasunori Mitsuda composed the soundtracks for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Those were awesome, especially Time's Scar, the opening theme to Cross. The .hack games soundtracks were composed by Yuki Kajiura, the same person who did the anime soundtracks and she did not disappoint. The collection of music from Madden 2004 was pretty damn good. I don't think that there was one song I didn't like on that list, and I don't normally like rap music. The Ninja Gaiden soundtrack was kickass. Nothing like stabbing some demon ass to sweet techno beats and tranquil Japanese flavored music. And finally, the SSX 3 soundtrack has to be my favorite music at the moment. Must go and find the CD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 NWN. KotOR. Freespace 2. Descent 3. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. Jedi Outcast. Jedi Academy. Jedi Knight. Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Homeworld. Homeworld 2. And the last (and the one most likely to get me flamed): Force Commander! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think that 'good' game music is very situational. Hmmmm, ya gotta point there. Maybe we should explain why we like that particular music in that game? Well some of you already did it, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomie Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well, it's certainly... Fitting. But let's talk games again. I forgot to mention that, of the starwars games, MOTS had the best music... I forgot what KOTOR sounded like, but MOTS was Nice and Dark, very, very dark. Yes, the music was fitting indeed, as you crawled trough ancient sith catacombs and avoid deadly traps and creatures... It was like an ultra dark version of the Imp march, wich is my fav piece of music... did i mention i'm obsessed with starwars AND especially if it's nice and Dark... ... Like ESB...

Mike Windu Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 What do you think? Kingdom Hearts... Super Smash Bro's Melee also has good music. But it cannot compare to the 114 tracks of Disney/Square goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Yes - Dark Forces music was really good (thanks for the link! I put it on my iPod!) Which also reminded me that they had given out the BG2 soundtrack some time ago ... so I loaded that up. Another wonderful set of music. ... oh, and sabretooth - Cool as a genre was already taken ~55 years ago ... see Miles Davis' 'Complete Birth of the Cool' for details Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I just remembered Freelancer's music was very atmospheric and original - it really brought the game to life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I thought KotOR's music was exceptional, as well as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's varied 80's music and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault's atmospheric music were excellent. I might say Morrowind's music, but that just got really, really repetitive after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
