BongoBob Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 For me, I think I have to go for the F-Zero X guitar version of the song "Endless Challenge", also known as the song from Dad's Home. And I was actually able to find the mp3 of it on Fileplanet Clicky for greatness
Evil Dark Jedi Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 The Halo 2 theme song is the best. Seriously it is.
Rogue15 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 hmm I like the music in the Halo games, and Fable. The music that's played in Oakvale in Fable is really cool. And i like the music in halo 2 that plays right before you get to earth, when you're 'giving the covenant back their bomb'

Mike Windu Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Kingdom Hearts. I wish I had the cd F-Zero GX has some decent songs, SSBM and Fire Emblem also have good songs.
jon_hill987 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 For game music (not something I'd listen to when not playing) Serious Sam: The First Encounter had about the best music in any video game. Total Anihillation had some good music as well, and that one works in a CD player
Rogue Nine Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Nobuo Uematsu must be mentioned. FFIV, VI, VII, VIII, X, and Kingdom Hearts. That is all. Yasunori Mitsuda. Just as good as Uematsu, less well-known. He did the music for Chrono Trigger as well as Chrono Cross and they're both excellent. The Metroid Prime music is quite good, not quite sure who composed that, otherwise I would mention them. Command and Conquer: Red Alert by Frank Klepacki. Specifically Hell March, Bigfoot and Face the Enemy. The various artists on the SSX3 soundtrack. Specifically Placebo, the Chemical Brothers and the Swollen Members.
Hermie Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 To bad Uematsu is not working for Square anymore, I will definetly miss his soundtracks...
txa1265 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I just finished Divine Divinity and was absolutely floored by the music. Great variety and depth! VtM: Bloodlines has my favorite 'popular music' (know I'll get thrashed for calling it that) soundtrack. KotOR is tremendous. As is Baldur's Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights and JKII / JA. Mike
CaptainRAVE Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Oviously most Star Wars games have the best soundtrack. Half Life 2 soundtrack is awsome....but not often played in the game. Quite an old RPG called Outcast had one of my favourite soundtracks. Need for Speed underground (the first one) also had very good music.
Astrotoy7 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Nobuo Uematsu must be mentioned. FFIV, VI, VII, VIII, X, and Kingdom Hearts. That is all. Hmph ! How dare you leave out FFIX ! Um, any SW game, especially RS2/3, XW Alliance, JA and BF KOTOR was cool original 'star warsy' music NWN - love it ! Have extracted all the tracks from the install file and coverted to mp3 even my mobile phone ringtone is one of the tavern themes from NWN I HATE the music in Burnout3 crap commercial punk shyte mtfbwya
toms Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Chrono Trigger!!! (oh, you already mentioned that one...). A lot of the snes japanese rpgs had great atmospheric music, especially considering the limitations of 8bit midi files. Ocarina of Time has great atmospheric music as well... and the way it links in to the tunes you play, with each character having a signature tune is pretty cool. The other game music that made a great impact was Xwing(or Tie Fighter) because the iMuse interactive music idea was so original back then and that combined with the SW themes made the battles so much more dramatic. It was actually one of the major things i missed when XWvTF came out... they upgraded it to cd quality music, but lost the interactivity... and it sucked! One of the Tony Hawk games (2 i think) had some excellent pumping tracks (rage against machine, etc..) which were really good for getting you in the mood. GTA 3's radio stations of course... Oh, and wipeout (the original) is the first game i remember that had its soundtrack released on cd and sell pretty well. A pretty good collection of techno from what i remember. ------------------- Never played total anihilation, but remember hearing it was supposed to have great music. ------------------- Only played about an hour or so of halo so far, but the first thing that struck me about the opening cinematic was that it was (a) an aliens ripoff, (b) nowhere near as good as i expected and © the music sounded like a cheap ripoff of the generic "action movie pounding classical" tracks they stick over all movie trailers these days. So i can't support the nomiation for halo
Darth NeoVenom Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I'm going old school. Nemesis Warlord for C64. I also like the theme music for Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. The NES version of Maniac Mansion mixed up the theme song but it still sounds great.
MTV2 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 you have to go with the flow and the results from the video game awards and say Madden NFL 2005 Green Day:)
Alegis Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Originally posted by Evil Dark Jedi The Halo 2 theme song is the best. Seriously it is. As for theme song, if you've played No One Lives Forever you'd know that's the best As for normal game music (not from the radio) I definitely like the star wars soundtrack
jebbers Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 i love the music in KotoR and in NWN.... Need For Speed Underground(1st) old skool Doom music i liked.... Half-Life 2 music made it more suspensful Zelda Ocarina...i liked the rain song or something like that o cant forget Baldur's Gate!!11one!! and there's more but i cant remember
CaptainRAVE Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Forgot GTA radio stations......have been excellent in every GTA game!!!
Kain Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I like the music in Warcraft 2 and Prince of Persia 2.
Darth Groovy Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Originally posted by Evil Dark Jedi The Halo 2 theme song is the best. Seriously it is.
toms Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 Originally posted by Kain I like the music in Warcraft 2 and Prince of Persia 2. In that case i'm going to nominate the music for Sands of Time what with it being, you know, persian in origin and atmospheric... rather than generic rubbish...
