Best music in a videogame?

    •  mikemike
    • What with games using actual songs now, what are peoples fave soundtracks?

      For original music I'd have to say-

      Mario Brothers
      Sonic the Hedgehog
      Tetris
      Metal Gear Solid (all 4 so far are amazing for music)

      Ones that use artists music-
      GTA series (and the first few had made up music that was pretty sweet too)
      Wipeout 2097
      Crazy Taxi

    • Bionic Commando soundtrack is pretty sweet.

    •  mikemike
    • Golden Axe!

      Atmospheric to the max.
    •  GarethGareth
    • Shadow of the Beast 2

      Mass Effect is also ace, proper squidgy synths.
    •  DonnyDonny
    • R-type and Streetfighter 2.

      Those soundtracks stick with me! And Final Fantasy 7
    •  mikemike
    • They've pretty much used FF7 music in most FFs since, agreed, its ace, really builds the atmosphere.

    • Shit! Silent Hill, best acoustic soundtrack ever.

      I downloaded a new demo for PS3, they still have the traditional songs! Ace!

    • Street Fighter 2 music was perfect for the game.
      My housemate bought the soundtrack to the game about 6 years ago and it got heavy rotation in the house , it even started to seep into my daily life , e.g. walking for the bus in the morning it'd be playing in my head then start to speed up as the bus drew nearer to the stop and I'd have to pick up my pace to catch it or trying to get to the counter in Greggs before the old lady etc..
      Another fun thing to do was to see who could memorize then reel off all the countries from the game in an authentic voice '' CHINA ! '' '' JAPAAAN! ''
      We were just CRAAZY guy!
