Best video game soundtrack[views:4578][posts:45]____________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 7:17pm - fleshfries ""] I think my two favorites would be the Chrono Cross soundtrack and the Diablo II soundtrack. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 7:19pm - narkybark ""] Morrowind or Heroes of Might and Magic 3 or 4 |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 7:24pm - This_Is_Heresy ""] All good choices so far. But my very favorite would have to be Castlevainia: Symphony of the Night Though Castlevainia 2 on NES was a good track too |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 7:24pm - thegreatspaldino ""] Shadow of the Colossus Thunderforce VI Chrono Cross Eternal Sonata is like 4 discs of amazing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 9:00pm - NuclearWinter ""] Chrono Trigger, Symphony of the Night, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy VI (III). In all, no video game soundtrack has impressed me as much as that of Chrono Trigger. Frog's theme is probably the most epic and triumphant piece of music ever. |

Frog's theme is probably the most epic and triumphant piece of music ever. listen to Shadow of the Colossus and Eternal Sonata's OST... they are both brilliant and epic |
| _______________________________ [Mar 16,2008 9:02pm - boine ""] Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, The Hyrule Symphony CD they put out for that was great |
| ________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 9:10pm - zyklon ""] Silent Hill 2 |
| _______________________________ [Mar 16,2008 9:26pm - boine ""] the guilty gears all have awesome soundtracks |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 9:31pm - the_reverend ""] wipeout XL? mortal combat? |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 10:30pm - Aegathis ""] Killer Instinct! |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 10:48pm - ancient master ""] super ghouls and ghosts, hands down |
| __________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 11:03pm - anthny ""] Dude there is sooooo much amazing VG music.... it's practically impossible to choose. Contra Hard Corps for Genesis and Turtles in Time for SNES are definitely up there for me. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 16,2008 11:39pm - jackenhoff ""] Megaman 2,Secret of Mana,and FF6. |
| ______________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 1:13am - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Thrasher:Skate and Destroy Contra 3: The Alien Wars R-Type Leo Megaman 2 Wipeout XL Double Dragon Sim City 2000 All the F-Zero games |
| ______________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 1:20am - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Einhander also had an awesome soundtrack. So glad Square Enix is finally making the sequel to it: Zweinhander trailer |
| _________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 8:20am - Martins ""] Chrono Cross is amazing and the music is flawless Final Fantasy VII and X (Nobuo Uematsu is one of my favorite modern composers) Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 had GREAT music |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 9:16am - thegreatspaldino ""] no one needs to mention square games, we know nobuo is amazing. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 9:19am - ZenErik ""] FFVII, FFVIII, FFVI, FFIX Kingdom Hearts I and II That's about it. I love the Lunar and older Suikoden games, but neither has a really memorable soundtrack. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 9:35am - thegreatspaldino ""] Gradius 3 the "Tales of..." series Lufia I and II the Ys series Street Fighter 2 King of Figthters 99 Knights of the Round Jets n Guns Megaman 2, Megaman X, X2, X3, X4, X5 (kinda), and X6 (sort of) Metal Gear Solid Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Mario 2, niggas Chrono Trigger, obviously the entire Final Fantasy series, obviously Destruction Derby 2 Blue Dragon King of Fighters: MI 1 and 2 Actraiser 1 and 2 the Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune series Initial D 1-4 The Berserk games for PS2 and Dreamcast the entire Castlevania series Contra 1-3 and while its not really a game, the music from Naruto: Shippuuden is fucking epic and heart-wrenching as well. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 9:44am - aril ""] Don't understand why everyone love's Chrono Cross' music so much. It's good, but not Yasunori Mitsuda's best work. I think Chrono Trigger's music and Xenogear's music blew it away! Hitoshi Sakimoto does awesome music too: specifically FFT and Vagrant Story (Awesome game if you've never checked it out..) Nobou Uematsu's FF3(6) soundtrack is unbelievable. It's definitely a masterpiece. Don't forget about Koji Kondo's stuff though.. he's the dude who wrote Mario Bros. (most recognizable VG music of all time) and Zelda's music. My favorite of his work is Zelda: Link's Awakening music. As far as Sega musics go, I'd have to think about that. As far as knowing their names and stuff... sorry, I'm a VG music nerd. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 9:47am - thegreatspaldino ""] i knew i forgot Xenogears! man that music was awesome, im going to download it now. also, Time's Scar/Scars of Time alone is more than enough to carry the entire Chrono Cross soundtrack. that song is one of the best songs ever written, atleast in my vastly superior opinion it is ;) |
| _______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 10:33am - Yeti ""] Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Cruisin' World. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 10:34am - thuringwethil ""] Make Trax |
| __________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 10:35am - C.DEAD ""] I think the game was called Chakal, it was for Genesis, but it had an almost noisy EBM kind of thing to it. I would love to hear that shit again. Oh, also the Motley Crue pinball game for Genesis. It was midi versions of their songs. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 11:53am - jackenhoff ""] That was Chakan. Sick game.Awesome music |
| __________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 12:11pm - C.DEAD ""] right right, ChakAN. I remember it was almost like Shinobi style, but that it was also extremely difficult. Great music though. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 12:12pm - RichHorror ""] Final Fantasy 7 Shinobi 2 |
| _______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 1:10pm - aril ""] How could I forget Lufia I & II - great catch thegreatspaldino. LufiaII's boss music is awesome. It's melodic-death-sounding. There was this game for Genesis called "Rocket Knight Adventures" that had awesome music.. can't remember who wrote it. Also for Genesis: Vectorman Crusader of Centy Comix Zone Sonic 1,2,3 (mostly 2) Golden Axe II Altered Beast Phantasy Star many more |
| ______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:19pm - Yeti ""] aril said:Sonic 1,2,3 (mostly 2) hahaha Chemical Plant Zone has an awesome song. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:20pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Marble Madness |
| ______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:23pm - Yeti ""] fuck Marble Madness. that is the hardest game ever made. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:34pm - brian_dc ""] Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has a great soundtrack. I never even played the game and I still sought the soundtrack. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:38pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Yeti said:fuck Marble Madness. that is the hardest game ever made. agreed. the music however is nothing short of brilliant. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 17,2008 3:47pm - aril ""] Actually, to tell you the truth, I've always like the music in the Kirby games. Well, the NES and Gameboy ones at least. Marble Madness did have awesome music though. Skyshark (NES) Metroid (NES) Donkey Kong (Gameboy) Wild Arms (PS1) Need for Speed II (PC) |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 4:06pm - thegreatspaldino ""] kirby all stars for SNES has all the amazing music from every kirby ever up until that point. its also the best version of all of the music, atleast i think it is. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 7:14pm - lbprovidence ""] Scarface. there's everything from howlin wolf to cypress hill to suicidal tendencies to iggy pop to johnny cash. and its a great game. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 7:28pm - theloadsweblow ""] Rocket Knight Adventures (Genesis) Contra III - The Alien Wars (SNES) [I know someone already mentioned that one but it's worth repearing) X Men 2 - Clone Wars (Genesis) The Terminator (Genesis) [The main Terminator theme by Brad Fiedel arranged for 16 bit sound is fucking epic as hell, and the original music for the levels is great.] |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 17,2008 7:28pm - theloadsweblow ""] repeating* |

| _______________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:57am - aril ""] How could anyone forget Tetris? Couple other NES games: Willow River City Ransom (awesome music!) Bomberman (just one song, catchy as hell) |
