What game, in your opinion, has the best soundtrack.

I nominate Tropico. The soundtrack is really latinish, it fits perfectly with the game.

Wahba, wahba, whaba...

Halo 2 was pretty bitchin, and the WipeOut series always has a good soundtrack. Fable was also delicious.

Halo was pretty good. Tropico's was better.

Myst, Riven, Uru: Ages Beyond Myst.

MGS2

Man, I love it!

And MGS3, of course. ;)

Red Alert 2 - Cheesey at times, fun as hell to play.
Counter-Strike - Fun and Addicting
Golden Eye - It never got old
Halo 2 - Obvious
Half-Life 2 - Best graphics and good storyline.

Ahh, Tropico. Takes me back. (~el presidente~)

I quite like the POP stuff

Did Counter-Strike even have a soundtrack?

Almost all the Squaresoft and Konami games had pretty good soundtracks.

Advent Rising and Total Annihilation.

I don't really play any computer games, so:
Legend of Zelda(1,alttp,oot, and WW)
Metroid(any of them)
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Final Fantasy I&II:Dawn of Souls
etc.

Ahh, Tropico. Takes me back. (~el presidente~)

The environmentalists were getting annoying.

So I executed them. And jailed their husbands. And branded their kids Heretics.

Very fun.

The Command & Conquer Games Have Awesome Soundtracks, Especcialy Yuri's Revenge. I Still Have Tropico, Play It Perodically. Simulated Little Island Domination.... Oh, And Branding Priests As Heretics Is Fun! I've Actually Seen Some Preists With Wives And Children. Im Pretty Sure Those Churches Are Catholic....

Ahh...Tropico, awesome sound. Civ4 is incredible, Baba Yetu and all the city music. It's really amazing

the answer is obvious, The Legend of Zelda for the NES was,is, and most likely will be the greatest game ever. This includes it's soundtrack. But Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has the best soundtrack ever for a video game.

would say Tropico too

Favorite Games Soundtracks

Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-II
Silent Hill 3
Grand Theft Auto- Vice City (the radio stations)

Mind you people; were talking about best soundtrack. A game can be great and still have horrid music. likewise, a game can have kickass tunes while still totally suck in the gameplay department.

I'm a big fan of the Zelda & Metroid soundtracks. I can appreciate any game with an OST, but licensed soundtracks tick me off.

Agh, HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN????? Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross Have THE Best Soundtracks!

Homeworld

the answer is obvious, The Legend of Zelda for the NES was,is, and most likely will be the greatest game ever. This includes it's soundtrack. But Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has the best soundtrack ever for a video game.

I dunno, I think the Song of Storms is the best single soundtrack piece ever written.

But the best overall soundtrack has to go to the Total War series, especially Rome.

Dude, I've seen priests visit Cabarets.

Kinky.

That new Tony Hawk game...

... wha?

Tony Hawk Soundtracks SUCK!

As another poster mentioned earlier, licenced music in games suck. Like in the Tony Hawks and the Burn Outs they've got a bunch of crappy punk songs. Which, to me, goes together like ketchup and ice cream.

Mario Brothers.

Doo da doo da doo doo

Bah.

I like the Hip Hop songs on there, pretty original stuff. Now for unlicesenced, I'll go with Morrowind.

The Hitman: Contracts soundtrack OWNS each and every other game soundtrack!

G-hetto Bling, eh?

The Hitman: Contracts soundtrack OWNS each and every other game soundtrack!

Hitman 2s main theme is FAR superior.


However, I love Homeworlds soundtrack. I also found that half life 2s soundtrack complemented perfectly, and I've actually downloaded several pieces of final fantasy 8s soundtrack... However I love One Winged Angel from final fantasy seven.

And of course, battle for Middle Earths soundtrack is great by default, in my opinion.

You Idoits Obviously Have Never Heard The Chrono Trigger And Chrono Cross Soundtracks. They Are The Best Thing To EVER Happen To Game Soundtracks. Better Than Any Licenesed Or Unlicenesed Game Soundtrack!

The original Quake soundtrack.

The Halo Series has proved itself to be a very nice soundtrack (though I'm not much a fan of the games themselves). Personally, I've always liked the soundtracks in the WarCraft games and in Ages of Mythology.

Rome Total War has an amazing soundtrack.

You Idoits Obviously Have Never Heard The Chrono Trigger And Chrono Cross Soundtracks. They Are The Best Thing To EVER Happen To Game Soundtracks. Better Than Any Licenesed Or Unlicenesed Game Soundtrack!

1) You don't know the difference between 'licensed' and 'unlicensed'.

2) Stop capitalizing every word.

3) It's a matter of opinion.

Tony Hawk 3's was probably the best. Primus, Del tha Funkee Homosapien...

FFX2 had hands down the best music, but that was one of the main themes of the game. Other than that the Zelda series has had some good music, esp Ocarina of Time.

KATAMARI DAMACY.
I wanna waaad you up into my life ♥

FF7 hands down, bar none.

One winged angel alone is leet beyond all leet.

Why, Super Mario Bros. has the best video game soundtrack ever made!

Pah! the Italian plumber was no match for SONIC!
greatest soundtracks: all the megadrive sonics, and gta 3 for being the only existing example of a computer game with wicked MC'd drum and bass track.

Pacman had no effect on youth culture, otherwise we'd all spend our nights in darkened rooms listening to repetitive electronic sounds and munching pills... :)

What game, in your opinion, has the best soundtrack.[/I]


Two answers, one that's sort of cheating, one that's not. Non-cheating first:

Halo/Halo.v.2. They had an AWESOME soundtrack. The integration of that wordless, somber, yet cosmic chorus and the adventurous, earthy action theme is great.

Now the cheating answer: The music for Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. It's music from the movies, so it's only a game track secondhand, but I had to nominate it. I think the music for the Star Wars movies - mainly the main theme, the Imperial March, and Duel of the Fates - are the best movie scores ever written, and quite possibly some of the best classical/symphony music written since the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods.

The Final Fantasy Series hands down with Final Fantasy VIII being my personal favorite...although...

Indigo Prophecy was impressive
