Best soundtrack ever in a game

[mikezilla]

i think the timeless themes are AMAZING when we update them on real instruments.

mario, zelda, metroid... all awesome with orchestras.

on a selfish side note, the BiA music was recorded with a real orchestra in prague and is AMAZING.

why hasnt anyone mentioned TRANSPORT TYCOON?

Yeah wheres all the ppl saying Total annihilation

All of the above.

Well, maybe not FFX-2.

Nobuo and chums recently did a few Final Fantasy tracks with an orchestra, it sold out in the first nanosecond or something equally ridiculous.

I think a better topic would be the best USE of music. Sure, it's nice that games have totally happening soundtracks, but they've got to be put to good use. For instance Half-lifes soundtrack wasn't really that great, but rising to the surface on that lift with the music starting up really got you pumped to run around dodging random explosions and watch highly trained marines throw grenades vertically into the ground at their own feet.

And the Final Fantasy tracks for the end battles are obviously pre-planned affairs, the cool music kicking in during FFIX's final battle, for example, almost made up for the fact they pulled the entire final battle straight out of their asses. FF7's one winged angel track is probably the only video game track in history people know the name too. And FFX is hard to describe without giving anything away... but, wowz0r.

i cant beleive noone has mentioned it yet... Mafia

that game had the most awesome music ever, with the exception of the song played over the credits, it did the game no justice

also Interstate '76 had awesome music

Final Fantasy 7 and 8 have really good music, i have the OSTs to those, and some orchestrated recordings, and some of the overclock remixes are really good too

ALL nintendo music makes me fap tons.

I was singing the music from Super Mario world when your at the level select stage and mario is dancing.

doo-dodo doo-dodo doo-dodo do-doo-dood-o0daos0d!$@! FAPPLE~!

GTA3? Hellooo?

That game comes with a variety of radio stations which play a whole lot of different songs and some of them are really good ("Joyride" anyone? ).

Ok, as for classical more video-game orientated soundtracks (instead of music which could actually play on your radio) C&C, Zelda etc. are pretty good.

and VICE CITY!!! hai friechamp lets talk!

First thing you should do in Luca is buy the movie sphere of the opening Blitzball game because it rocks ze ass.
