SlowbieOne Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Since videogame music varies greatly, these are all special to me in different ways, so there is just no way I can put them in any kind of order. So here they are in no particular order: Tenchu:Stealth Assasins (PS) Xenogears (PS) Castlevania:Symphony of the Night (PS) Chrono Cross (PS) Final Fantasy Tactics (PS) Threads of Fate (PS) Vagrant Story (PS) System Shock 2 (PC) Deus Ex (PC) Zork:Nemesis (PC) Ecco the Dolphin Defender of the Future (DC) I should also add Jedi Knight to that list but I didn't because I consider it John Williams, not game music. However, I thought the guys who mixed the tracks up for Jedi Knight did a superb job. The tracks are all the same ol' John Williams we know and love, yet somehow they are completely different. Anyway, I would like to hear your favorite soundtracks to see if I missed any good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylilin Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Streets of Rage II for Sega Genesis had a pretty awesome soundtrack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Rainbow 6 and the sequel Rogue Spear has the best game soundtracks ever. In my opinion anyway... =) Come to think of it, Monkey Island has great music as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I agree with Streets of Rage 2...I sometimes hear that music in my head when I'm walking down the street for no apparent reason . Another you guys forgot is Full Throttle! The music in that game ruled! Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 As the resident Halo fan, I don't need to say anything else. I'll figure out some more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Interstate 76. That is THE best one. There is NO competition. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Ah, yes, Interstate 76 has some great music. Groovy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlar Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Vampire: Masquerade had a great sound track. I still play the mp3's from time to time of a few select favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 I've just realised this is a tad difficult for me to answer...because I mostly play games with the music turned right down, or off completely. Nevertheless, here are a few that stick in my mind... 1. Outcast (not JK related ) - they used a proper orchestra/choir etc, and it was just so cinematic, and added greatly to the game's atmosphere. 2. Jedi Knight (I don't care if it's mostly Williams' music...it's still great). 3. Quake - some really weird (but cool) stuff to go with the weird nightmare levels... 4. Rune - they managed to capture the Viking feel very well in that soundtrack... 5. Unreal - very atmospheric music, and always recognisable.

Kylilin Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Icewind Dale does have some kick ass music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Grim Fandango soundtrack rules. The combination of Mexican Folk music with bebop jazz as well as a classical score is simply amazing. Why was it not mentioned before? If you haven't played it, I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 These are not in any particular order: Monkey Island series Grim Fandango Full Throttle Outlaws Gabriel Knight series Vampire: The Masquerade In the Lounge with No One Lives Forever(soundtrack which came with NOLF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowcasT Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Originally posted by Millions o' Monkeys ahhh yes almost puts u to sleep...until some stupid bird starts attacking you in the atmospheric landscapes..... Unreal music was great ,but the stupid format in whitch was delivered (.it) kinda ruined it for me. I also hated those techno tracks Reguardless ,the game itself was more than enought to knock you unconscious ,sheer boredom ,whitch was a pity for the game was incredibly beatiful (and i don't mean just for the grahpics ,some of the scenery would have looked and felt gorgeous with the Quake2 engine).

SlowbieOne Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Wow man, Unreal was boring? Hmm, I guess you have to play through the game Co-operatively like me and my bud. I never played it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so the game was clearly far from finished ,titles like JK and Hexen II danced circles around Unreal. Even Quake II was received better ,and that says a lot Thank god they handed the sequel to Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Reznor did the sound track for Quake 1 ,whitch wasn't that good if you ask me .people speak of art of landascaping but i thought a action game needed something more than that ,at least during fights. Quake 2 music was done by a non too famious band whitch name i can't recall right now ,only one song was written by Zombie (i think it's the one you ear in the very firt level). The way they tried to blend both types of music in Quake3 was interesting ,but the result failed miserably ,Quake3 sounds track sucked huge time ,just like the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
