What video game do you guys think has the best sound track? I have to say it's Halo Reach or Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.

Demon's Souls.

For me it would have to be the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VI. Its score is equal to that if the games story.

Metroid Prime. When this song plays the moment you make planetfall on Tallon IV, it just gives you that feeling that you've landed on world just waiting to be explored.

Hmmm....

I always liked the soundtracks for the PlayStation ports of Doom and Final Doom...

I have to say that Skyrim has some of the best music I've heard in a long time.

Also, just for my own personal Nostalgia, Driver 2. The 70s funk mixed with other genres always made me smile while escaping the police;

I like tracks from RTCW, Doom, Quake 3, and Crysis. I like some others but those are some off the top of my head.

Runner, you're awesome. :-) Metroid Prime FTW.

Long post coming up. Beware! ;)

Everyone should listen to all of these because they're so great. I have the best taste in music. :D Er…… or not. xD But I do encourage everyone to try some of them. I just love all of these so much.

Links-only since I was getting a "too many media files" error if I wanted to embed them. :(

Metroid Prime, TLoZ: The Wind Waker, and Donkey Kong Country 2. You could say those are my top 3.

Right after that comes Uncharted 3, even though every single track in its OST was an absolute masterpiece, they just didn't touch me quite as much as those three above. Still, one of the best game soundtracks ever right here.

Uncharted 3

(THE BEST ONE) http://bit.ly/AhxY3I

Metroid Prime

(Different from SFR's post. This is theme #2. So brilliant.) http://bit.ly/wFxWZW

The Wind Waker

(This is just so… amazing. It's at its best towards the end.) http://bit.ly/yQpkvH

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Ahh… good old DKC2. David Wise (the composer) is a genius. He did the music for a lot of Rare games iirc. Also a lot of older SNES/NES/GB titles.

(One from DKC1 for good measure ;))

Star Fox Adventures also had an amazing soundtrack, but there are no REAL standouts from it. I'd have to list every track in the game since they're all so great. :-P

But still… here's two. My favorites.

Annnnd Crysis Warhead is also an honorable mention. It has a few standout tracks, but the rest of the ST is also great. Just not as great as my top 4 above. ;)

(This just makes me feel so inspired and enthusiastic. It was played on a great mission within the game's single player, and then again during the credits. Just brilliant.)

http://bit.ly/wI6HSm

ONE MORE honorable mention. Deus Ex: Human Revolution as well as its expansion The Missing Link both have wonderful soundtracks. They just go with the game. You separate the sounds from the game and you have nothing. The music/ambiance really is special.

And last, but not least, two fan remixes that I just love.

Now these are all just my personal favorite soundtracks. There are SO many games that have excellent music. Mario Kart, Mario games, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, plenty of SNES, NES games, plenty more newer games, etc, etc… so many. Too many to list. But if you guys want I can post some more of my favorites. :D

Hope you enjoyed this super long post. Listening to all these is just so wonderful.

Imma have to go with Zelda and Halo on this one. These series both have excellent music that plays heavily into the storyline.

The Ace Attorney orchestrated soundtracks are incredible.

I've always been particularly fond of the soundtrack in the Halo games. But I also enjoy the music in this game;

Ace Combat 04 has the best music of any game.

Don't believe me?

Still not convinced?

The sound engineers did an amazing job, not only with SFX but the soundtrack was the most kickass out of any PS2 game of its time.

And a few more, spoilered for your convenience.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape has a really good soundtrack. The PC|DC|PS1|iOS|3DS versions (and i'm guessing the PS2 version) has a different soundtrack than the N64 and DS versions, but I've only really played the PS1 version, so I can't say if I think the N64 soundtrack is better than the other Rayman 2 versions. Anyway though, I'm sure that anyone who's played it would understand what i'm talking about and would agree with me that it's a great soundtrack. (If not... oh well, I still think its good. :-))

If I had to make a list of other games that have a good soundtrack, it would be this:

Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Pikmin 1 and 2

Starcraft - (You can get the soundtrack on itunes)

Of course you would expect this from a Transformers freak, but I;d have to throw out Transformers WFC, the song sounds like something you'd hear from the 80's. Actually I believe the song is remade from an 80's version of it. Anyways, here's the song.

I simply could not contain the amount of nostalgia when I finally did beat WFC; great game with an even better credits-section! :)

It was an amazing game, the sequel is supposed to be 3 times as good. They're bringing back the Dino-bots from the old cartoon from the 80's. Just in case you didn't know.

Just so this post won't be off topic, I gotta say, the soundtrack for the sequel's trailer was also a great song, really matched the mood. The company even said it was really hard to find a song for the trailer, I think it's perfect.
