RoboCop
Final Fantasy IV
Blood Omen
Soul Reaver
Soul Reaver 2

A list of games that have an epic soundtrack heh heh.
I've missed some out, bad memory.
But as always I am correct.

You haven't played much, haven't you.

I would say for me Neo-Geo and Street Fighter series had some of finest music. Off course there are others. But it all depends on the mode and what is your perspective of music.

Thats cool, I played Soul Reaver a long time ago. The soundtrack is actually alright.

You haven't played much, haven't you.

Lol

A few games that stood out for me...

Pepper II (Colecovision)
Donkey Kong Country
Phantasy Star (Sega MS)
Mystic Quest
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Xenogears
Dragon Quest 8
FF6
FF7
FF8

Some of my favorites are:
Wild Arms (for that Wild West feel)
Dragon Force (I love those battle tunes)
Chrono Cross (Time's Scar is a favorite)
Chrono Trigger (of course)
Final Fantasy VI, VII, IX (Especially Terra, Cosmo Canyon, and The Place I'll Return to Someday)
Kingdom Hearts (Can help me sleep)
:-D

For me,
-VALKYRIE PROFILE <<<<<<<<<< GODDESS!!
-Dynasty Warriors 5 (normal, empire & legend)
-GOLDEN SUN (1 & 2) <<<<<<<<< GOD!!!
-FINAL FANTASY (most series)
-Romancing Saga
-Xenosaga (1 & 2 & 3)

So many more... XD

I'm the oddball person. However, for me:

Definitely...
- Super Mario Bros. (one of the patriots in good VGM)
- Metal Gear-series
- Fire Emblem-series
- Dr. Mario
- Tetris
- Bubble Bobble
- any soundtrack of Chris H�lsbeck
- most Megaman soundtracks

- F-Zero series
- Perfect Dark
- Mario Kart 64 & Mario Kart DS
- Gitaroo Man
- Katamari-series

- Valkyrie Profile
- Castlevania-series
- Mario Basketball 3on3
- Phoenix Wright-series (and Apollo Justice)
- Border Down
- Under Defeat
- Unreal Tournament-series
- Ragnarok Online
- Ragnarok 2

There ye go.

Final Fantasy XII with the new composer is my favourite game soundtrack...it just covers so many types of music with a variety of dynamics and yet still keeps an essence of the previous games.

:)

I just bought the 4 disc special edition...if only the postal service was quicker...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time or Majoras mask.
The Wind waker is good but not as good as the other 2

I'd say that my favorites include (but are not limited to, and may be subject to change) the following:

-Super Mario Brothers
-Morrowind
-Oblivion
-Dungeon Siege I & II
-Street Fighter series

Here's a list of my favorites, with specific tracks listed, because I'm THAT bored. XD

-Ace Combat 0: The Belkan War (Contact, Excalibur, Zero)
-Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Invasion of Gracemeria, Fires of Liberation)
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Prologue, Dracula's Castle, Wandering Ghosts, The Tragic Prince)
-The Darkness (All of the combat music)
-Final Fantasy VII (ShinRa Corporation, Cosmo Canyon, Those Chosen by the Planet, Cid's Theme, Aeris' Theme, Judgment Day)
-Goldeneye 64 (Byelomorye Dam, Soviet Missile Silo, Frigate La Fayette)
-Legend of Mana (Pain in the Universe, The Darkness Nova, Irwin on Reflection)
-Lost Odyssey (A Sad Tolten, Parting Forever, The Mystery of the Demon Machine, The Capital of Gohtza, Battle With the Demonic Beast, Dark Saint, Howl of the Departed)
-Shining Force (Battle 3, Darksol Battle, Dark Dragon Battle)
-Soul Calibur 2 (Evil Reborn, Eternal Struggle, Hellfire, Healing Winds)

There are others, but that's enough for now.

What's the soundtrack like for FF X? Just bought the game and was wondering whether it is thought highly of compared to the rest of the series...

FFX has a pretty decent soundtrack... it fits well with the game, but there are only a select few tracks that manage to be memorable.

Managed to hear previews of FF X on I Tunes though so far I much prefer FF XII as its much more orchestral whereas X seems to use a lot of electronic music...as a fan of classical music FF XII appealS to me more though I do like the piano theme from FF X 'Zanarkland'.

Yeah, "To Zanarkand" is easily one of my favorite tracks in the game.

In my opinnion?...

BEST SOUNDTRACK!!!

V-Rally 2 (PSX)
Silent Hill (PSX)
Gran Turismo (PSX)
Residen Evil 3 Nemesis (PSX)
Medal of Honor (PSX)

I hope you've listened it!!!

My SaLuDoS!:P

Final Fantasy Tactics!!!! It's what got me into game music in the first place.

Oh...and for the more recent, I'll say Portal xD.

Noriyuki Asakura did great scores for the Tenchu and Way of the Samurai games. I'd say those are the best. The second best, in my opinion, is either Loz:Ocarina of Time or LoZ:Majora's Mask.

as for me:
HALF LIFE 2 (and ep's)
Silent Hill (all)...

Rayforce
Raystorm
Raycrisis
G-Darius
Senko no Ronde
Border Down
Under Defeat
Einhander
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Xenogears
Chrono Cross
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy Tactis
Samurai Hero Musashi
Guilty Gear
Chaos Field

Deadrising,Resident Evil (all parts) Half-Life (all of them)..
Heroes of might and magic II..hmm oh! and Unreal Tournament(s) and Icewind Dale (I&II)

Don't we have a thread similar to this? Cuz there are thousands of threads with the ''BEST Music'' you get ma point. Anyway i am going to be nice so here is my list

Elder Scrolls
Half Life 2
Halo
Gears of War
Warcraft
Zelda
mario
and many many more

I'm guessing that "games with best music to listen to during general life" is the context and I'm sticking to it.

"Morrowind." I sleep to this, I breath to this, I embrace this. Jeremy Soule became a demi-god because of his Morrowind soundtrack.

"Vagrant Story." It's very atmospheric and I enjoy listening to it time to time.

"Shadow Of The Colossus." Good music all around, especially "The Farthest Land Reprise."

"Final Fantasy 10." A happy, upbeat soundtrack. I enjoy listening to it doing whatever.

"Stronghold." Come on, medieval music! Great stuff here..

"Battle Realms." It has a surprisingly (in the sense I had forgotten) good ambient soundtrack.

Overall, Morrowind beats them all; hands down.

*Fable
*KOTOR I & II
*Suikoden
*Final Fantasy Tactics, IX, & XII
*The Silent Hill Series

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 has hands down some of the best video game music I've ever heard.

I'll make a proper list later. Its 4AM and I can't really think of much.

I admit that the FF series does have good music, but to be honest I don't even have a single song from any of the games(maybe the battle theme from FF7). Well, I think the game with best music is probably MGS 2. FTW

HERE R MY FAV GAMEZ THEY HAV GD MUSIKS!

* MARIO
* STAR FOX
* LINK
* DBL DRAGON!
* MARIO 2 (DOKI MARIO LULS!)
* I HVE A BAD MEMRY BUT THE 1 W/ DRAGNS ON SNES WAS COOL!

The Giygas BGM's from EarthBound, lol.

I also love Super Stardust HD's (PS3) soundtrack, so upbeat and spacy and adrenaline-fueled.

hia did any1 of you play Steambot chronicles ?
it got best soundtracks and it got songs in it !!! u play on many insturments ( start with a stuiped harmonic )
the sounds get u n the life of the game roge galaxy got good sounds too
so my list should be :
1- steambot chronicles
2- rogue Galaxy
3- sonic riders ( zero gravity )

Instead of my old favorites, we'll try Shadow of the Colossus. Subdued, but at least it fit the game. Also Digital Devil Saga had some very unorthodox rock/synth tunes. A change from the dramatic flair of ensemble strings and abrasive timpani.

Soul Reaver 2 is up their with John Williams tracks.

Shadow of The Colossus and Metal Gear Solid 3/portable ops have amazing soundtracks,

not to mention brawl

- Lair
- Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary

Ill get the obvious ones out the way first.
-Mario games from start to end
-Sonic Games start to end
-Chrono Trigger
-Chrono Cross ( a highly underappreciated game on the whole where's my chrono break!!!)
-Final Fantasy Everything from 6-9 (havent played others)
-Kingdom hearts

Now for the prolly not so obvious
-Guilty Gear
-F-Zero all
-Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1,2 and 3
-Smash Bros 64,Melee, Brawl
-Zelda LTTP
- Every Megaman X Game
-Street Fighter Series
-Halo 1
-Tenchu 1 and 2
-Secret Of Mana
-Super Metroid
-Castlevania Series specifcally IV or Super CV and RoB
-Goldeneye 007
-Diddy Kong Racing 64
-Fighting Vipers
-NiGHTS
-ugh there's more but I cant think!!!

Dunno.

Can you list the names of some of the best songs on the Soul Reaver/SR2 soundtracks?

Game series with the best music? definitely Castlevania, Mega Man (the X saga) and Metal Gear Solid.

- Dreamfall
- Planescape Torment
- Diablo II
- Primal
- Blade Runner
- Ascendancy
- The Longest Journey

Really special music in all of those IMO! Hopefully you guys have heard the music in some of them :)

Ace Combat has had generally the best soundtracks pound for pound.... not many games can use a full orchestra and mix in electronic beats just right.

Daisuke Ishiwatari's Guilty Gear series = WIN

Grand Theft Auto 3

Final Fantasy
Need for Speed
Nba Live
They all have great soundtracks....

Metal gear solid for the win!!!

Amazing soundtracks

Xenosaga, despite not being one of my preferred games, has an amazing soundtrack.

Drakengard 2's soundtrack was a vast improvement over the first game, beautiful orchestrated tracks.

Shadow of the Colossus has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, as the songs match the mood of each fight perfectly.

I'd agree with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack comment, but considering it's all just remixed music I cant say much, though the new main theme that plays through most of the modes of gameplay is one of the most beautiful and inspiring songs I've heard in ages. A beautiful blend of choir, violin, percussion and guitar. Always a good mix.

The Ace Combat series, especially 4 through 6 and Zero, have some of my favorite tracks.

I'll think of more later.

Soul Blade
Soul Calibur (series)
Final Fantasy VII
Silent Hill 2
Contra
Contra Shattered Soldier
Final Fight (Arcade and Sega CD)
Ikaruga
Resident Evil (series)
Street Fighter (series)

RoboCop
Final Fantasy IV
Blood Omen
Soul Reaver
Soul Reaver 2

A list of games that have an epic soundtrack heh heh.
I've missed some out, bad memory.
But as always I am correct.



You haven't played much, haven't you.

That's not true. Soul reaver & soul reaver 2 to me has the best BGM ever. Defiance & Soul Reaver uses the same BGM, but SR2 is different. But everyone like different music, especially when it comes to game music. But I would like to add a few to his list.

Chrono Cross
Valkyrie Profile 2
FFIX, FFX
Soulcalibur II & III (haven't played SCI)
Dynasty Warriors 4 & 5 (use classical chinese instrumental)
Some of Megamanx game
Xenosaga (dont like the game, but the music)

Soul reaver & soul reaver 2 is my personal favourite (and also my favourite game) :)
I only enjoy SR music during the gameplay, not when simply listening to it's mp3.

I'm gonna just rattle off my faves:

FF6. That's it. The whole thing is amazing.
Gradius 3 (from SNES)
Mystic Quest. If that were re-done by today's standards it'd be only better
Legend of Zelda (LttP, OoT, Link's Awakening)
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Super Mario RPG (check Geno's Woods and others)
FFIX (Melodies of Life, Vivi's theme)

I have more but I can't think of them right now.
-tot

MMM...forgot Super Metroid.

STREETFIGHTER MUSIC always gets me ready for my next morning

STREETFIGHTER MUSIC always gets me ready for my next morning

Oh and Legend of Zelda

Total War Series, although Rome and Medieval 2 Kingdoms has the best ones.
Command and Conquer series, the old games, aka Frank Klepacki although I'm rejoicing that he's doing Hell March 3 for RA 3
Super Smash Bros Brawl simply because...
Fire Emblem for epicness, except for Sacred Stones.
Battle Realms just because.
Super Mario Bros for classics
Total Annihilation had insane classical epic music...when coupled with the sound of nuclear explosions it's mind-blowing.
ELite Beat Agents...oh wait that's something else.

The ones that stood out greatly for me through my ages of gaming were:

Super Mario - doesn't matter which one, all are great
Banjo Kazooie - very catchy
Banjo Tooie - also very very catchy
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - integrated playing music for the first time to me
Turok 2 - set the atmosphere very well
Duke Nukem - midi metal (listen to the Megadeth version, is the best thing to happen to the world, kinda...)
Kirby Superstar - the best Kirby game ever... music was really really good too
Soul Reaver - its just good, end of story
Baldur's Gate 1, and 2 - oof, cant even describe the power put into these game's soundtracks
Neverwinter Nights - perfect atmosphere setter, and just great to listen to
Elder Scrolls 3 and 4 - just plain good music
Half-Life 1 and 2 - i love Valve to death for this music
Call of Duty - all of them are very unique and interesting in the way the music added to the feel of the game
Shadow of the Colossus - some of the best scores here ever
Fable - Danny Elfman composed the shit out of that main score, every song in there is pure gold and very fitting
Halo 1, 2, and 3 - hey did just a plain good job
Gears of War - the right music for the right time
Bioshock - very little music, but the music that you did hear, stood out immensely

Currently i'm obsessed with Twilight Princess, which is just plain awesome in every way

Just to name a few....

Lost Eden
Chrono Cross
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Alundra
Kessen
Ace Combat 4

In my opinion:
_original MegaMan series.
-Devil May Cry series.
-Silent Hill Series.
-Oh! Thee, mighty Okami.
-PN03

LOL. All from World War II Game

Onimusha has some very mood setting music and it's very soothing to listen to that music.
But my favorite VG music has to be Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. That boss music is flippin' awesome. It could easily be turned into a heavy metal song with wailing guitars and whatnot.

Megaman X Series.. especially the X4 theme :D I really want that to be watched in anime series.. :)


one of my oldies... Thousand arms. with the song Depend on You by Megumi Hayashibara

The best one i've seen is Granado Espada!
It's a korean MMORPG and I know what you think when I say this but
this game really spent all the money on the OST.

Of course, FF series can't be forgotten, and... maybe I would say pokemon lol (they made some ost everlasting in the brain even with the poor quality on which they were limited)

Anyway, Wizardry~forsaken land~ and chaos legion had some nice musics too

As for me I like:

-DMC series
-Megaman
-Guilty Gear
-Soul Reaver 1\2
-Granado Espada (Sword of the new World)
-PoP Warrior Within

... its a bit too late to remember more xD

Assassins Creed is awesome...
Also Hellgate London.. (I've just heard the Main Theme but it was great)

Silent Hill series, Wipeout, Gran Turismo series, Bust a Groove, Quake, Parappa the Rappa, Any FF game, DDR, Para Para Paradise, I have so many more but cant think of them right now...


Also Tennpnenny mentioned Granado Espada, and I really really want to play this game, but alas, it wont install on my PC. T_T

The best music -

Megaman and Megaman X Series

Most Star Wars games
Shadow the Hedgehog
Super Smash Bros. Meele

FFVIII(lieblings OST)
FFX

i am too lazy to look through all the pages... but uh hello? smash bros brawl anyone?? I cried not seeing an immediate reference... :'( and i think most rpgs have great music tales of symphonia, lufia 1&2, evolution 1 &2, the list goes on forever lol... i myself collect alot, not crazy alot but my itunes hit 651 today :P

Actually 651 tracks is a pretty small list compared to mostly people here who collect music from their favorite games, so yeah, its not THAT crazy.

"Smash Brothers" series is a bunch of remixes from other games, actually you are NOT listening to "Smash Brothers" music, just music from other games.

There are some nice remixes thought, but actually I think the tracks are not enjoyable to listen, are mostly just to play (like those in Pump it UP), a song that I CANT enjoy like music, its not music (personal opinion).

But from "Smash Brothers", I like only the original game tracks and melee, brawl sucked really hard.

Thats why maybe you didn't see that in their list, Smash music is not the big deal actually, too much Japanese stuff involved (in a stereotyped way).

I'd say:

. Alundra, The Adventures of [Kohei Tanaka]
. Bloody Roar Series [Negishi Takayuki]
. Commandos 2: Men of Courage [Mateo Pascual]
. Kessen II [Reijiro Koroku]
. Shinobi - PlayStation 2 [Fumie Kumatani, Teruhiko Nakagawa, Takayuki Maeda, Yutaka Minobe, Masaru Setsumaru]
. Tenchu: S.A./Tenchu 2: B.of the S.A./Tenchu 3: W.of H. [Noriyuki Asakura]
. Prince of Persia Series [Stuart Chatwood]
. Wild ARMs [Michiko Naruke]
. EHRGEIZ: God Bless the Ring [Takayuki Nakamura]
. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain [Steve Henifin]
. Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain [Jim Hedges]
. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Series [Kurt Harland, Jim Hedges]
. Bujingai [Hideki Takahagi, Tamayo Kawamoto]
. Harry Potter Games [Jeremy Soul, James Hannigan]
. Bio Hazard 2 [Masami Ueda, Syusaku Uchiyama, Shun Nishigaki]
. Medal of Honor: Frontline [Michael Giacchino]

IMHO, they're good.

These are the most memorable anyway. Some of these are albums of arranged music rather than straight from the source. In my opinion anything preformed with orchestra is just so much better!

Any Pokemon games at ALL! Especially soulsilver and heartgold! But you will probs all go "what the heck? who plays pokemon?" but who cares!

I dunno if anybody has mentioned before but Baten Kaitos puts everything else to shame.
No doubt, every video game soundtrack is good and unique. The ones that stood out to me above the thousands of games that I've played have to be these top three:

1) Baten Kaitos (both games)
2) Star Ocean Till the End of Time (though the previous had good music too)
3) Evolution (both games)

My favourites would be,

Legend of Zelda series - Ocarina Of Time & Twilight Princess specifically
Super Smash Bro's Brawl
Grim Fandango
Tomb Raider series
Final Fantasy series
Dreamfall Longest Journey
Gabriel Knight series
Street Fighter II
Shenmue series
Oblivion
Monkey Island series, especially 3
Devil May Cry series
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake
Wet
Alone In The Dark series
Sonic series
Kingdom Hearts series
Prince of Persia
Silent Hill

Yoshi's Island
Super Mario RPG

Unsurprisingly, A majority comes from Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy VIII and XII in particular.

Final Fantasy 8 has about the widest range of listenable music for my ears. Don't get me wrong, other titles such as 1-7, 9-14 have their highs too, but with Final Fantasy 8, I have about 40+ solid tracks I can casually listen to as opposed to like 10 from FF7 or 4 from FF9, or ect...

And Final Fantasy XII has an overwhelming strong, and commanding sound track. Its powerful and wonderful from start to finish, and unlike FF 1-10, its not electronic/synthed, so I don't have to waste time looking for an "orchestral" arrangement like I have to with other Final Fantasies.

Another great OST would be Smash Bros Brawl. It has a beautiful remake of classic Donkey Kong, Zelda, Pokemon, Kirby, ect... themes.

And the Touhou franchise is riddled with great music. If I compiled all the Touhou theme songs and put them in a hat, I'd have a 95% of pulling out something I love.

I was recently replaying Megaman Zero Collection for DS and realized I wanna know who did the great music. Turns out it's III which is a unit at Inti Creates's sound division.
They're responsible for MGM Zero 1~4 and Megaman ZX/Advent, plus a couple more.

Dunno if this has been brought up before, but Okami, anyone?

I've never looked it in that way...

But pretty much think the same as you do.

Although when putting the music in context. VIII pales compared to VII.

VIII music can be so anticlimatic some times.

I remember the Jazz Jackrabbit games had amazing music for their time! I used to enter a level and wait till the music loops a couple of times and then start playing.

I remember the Jazz Jackrabbit games had amazing music for their time! I used to enter a level and wait till the music loops a couple of times and then start playing.

I don't remember much about the first game, but Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was amazing! I agree, the music was pretty prime (and it still is imho). Every level in that game was epic!

My favorite would have to be Grandia II, especially since it's my all-time favorite game. Although, I've yet to play the other Grandia games.
My next favorite would have to be Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Very rich and full of variety.
I personally really like the Final Fantasy X soundtrack.
I also like several of the Metroid soundtracks, such as Super Metroid and the Metroid Prime games.
Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana rang well with me, too.

There are several more, but I can't really remember all the games I've ever played.

i would take forever to list them all, but my personal favorites in no particular order are...

Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (PS2)
Ape Escape (PS1)
Trampoline Terror! (Sega Genesis/Megadrive)
Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time (PS2)

Echochrome and Echochrome II for a start.

For me:
Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
Super Mario 64, mainly for its recognizability and simplicity
FF7, and FF7: Crisis Core
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
The Lost Odyssey
And Armored Core 1 for its pure badassness.

I remember the Jazz Jackrabbit games had amazing music for their time! I used to enter a level and wait till the music loops a couple of times and then start playing.
I too only ever really played Jazz JackRabbit 2, but I have its soundtrack and it is indeed pretty hot. I wouldn't dare rate it as one of my favourite soundtracks though.


A lot of indie games have good music, and nobody on these forums seems to have touched on that before from what I can see. Everyone go look up Cave Story, this seems the sort of community that could appreciate it, or at least its soundtrack.

I love the "Requiem for a Tower" track that plays with the auto-play movie on the LotR: Return of the King disc.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Also love the "escape sequence" music in the Metroid series. My four year old has been "singing" that non-stop for days...

I love the "Requiem for a Tower" track that plays with the auto-play movie on the LotR: Return of the King disc.[COLOR="Silver"
Not really a game theme that.

Metroid's escape sequence theme is indeed good, though.

Best game I've ever played hands down with one of the best soundtracks ever composed.

all ratchet and clank
jak and daxter
red dead redemption
resistance fall of man
dead space1-2
tomb raider underworld

I just listen to modern ones..
- Ratchet and Clank series (all games, beautiful and full of energy - by David Bergeaud)
- Uncharted series
- Fallout series
- Simcity series (especially Simcity 3000, which is downloadable freely from the official website)
- Assassin's Creed series
- Metal Gear Solid series (REALLY recommended)
- Timesplitters series (especially Timesplitters 2)

Damn not 1 person said anything from Ganbare Goemon series :p

Must be good to be the first.

For me:
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (probably two of the most amazing soundtracks in VGM history)
Pok�mon* (All the main series games, Gale of Darkness and Battle Revolution)
Mario Kart 8 (incredible orchestra, this one deserves my approval)
Super Mario 3D World (the music is very well done)
SSBM/SSBB (compilation of songs and remixes)
Super Robot Wars* (nothing to say about that one, but hearing songs from my some of my favorite Mecha TV shows makes me happy)
Sonic the Hedgehog* (Unleashed, Generations and All-Stars Racing Transformed + Sonic the Hedgehog for the genesis)
Mario & Sonic series* (those games have electronic style remixes of the classic music from the Mario and Sonic franchise, of course some songs are not remixes)
Guacamelee!* (surprisingly, the music in this game is extremely well done)
Mega Man 2* (only the 1st Dr. Willy Stage theme)
Legend of Zelda* (Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword)

Definitely the Genso Suikoden series. It has countless masterpieces.
