Your favorite game music

So which game or games have your favorite music. I'm not talking about style but out of all the games which ones have the coolest music you've ever hear while playing a video game.

My all time picks would have to be Half Life (listen to the music on the cd), Halo, and FFX.

the very first thing i do upon loading any game is to locate the "off" button for any music. i do not want to hear it.. period.

i was rather disappointed today. they had a quiz on the fm radio.. do you guys know which two games hold the #1 and #2 slot for all time sales?

yeah you might know, but i sure didn't.. i was shocked, and nauseated all at once. well i like #2, but #1 made me woozy.

So what were they?

/me PM's you, i was hopin someone would answer.

i'd be curious about that one as well sir....if youd be so kind.... :heee:

Doc Brasso..... :dodgy:

Lol.

He doesn't listen to game music...period. No explanation. Talks about #1 and #2 game top sellers....which doesn't pertain to the topic.......nor does he say what they are...come on, Orph!

btw...Clones has some sweet music.....Lemmings have sweet music....Big Kahuna Reef has good music.....Zelda (original) has good music....maybe the best of all time is Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

For awesome game music and remixes (really good stuff) go to OverClocked RemiX</A>. They have music remixed in high quality mp3 format for almost any game you want. Legal and free.

edit:

OK...Orph is PMing the answer :smile: ...PM me too....what are they?

Beyond Good and Evil
World of Warcraft
Freedom Fighters
Chronicles of Riddick

Incredible scores to these. Riddick is maybe a bit repetitive, but the themes are solid and have some really cool variations. WoW has tracks reminiscent of Howard Shore's LOTR music and some really imposing 7/4 stuff, particularly on the Horde side. Freedom Fighters is the king of threatening Russian/eastern european themes.

Beyond Good and Evil is probably my favorite, though... Incredible mixes of electronic, orchestral, various oriental themes. Amazing.

Oh, and the single Brothers in Arms theme released online was incredible... go go gadget Prague Philharmonic! Picked that one up yesterday but haven't had a chance to play it yet... can't wait to hear more of that.

Final Fantasy X had some great music. I like the music in Guild Wars so
far as well. The Metal Gear Solid series also has some real goodies,
but there seems to be a lot that is great but not necessarily memorable
in them as well.

Prince of Persia.

GTA:Vice City

#1 has got to be 'The Sims' or something like that?

Like Orph, I tend to turn music off these days as i'd rather play my own music in the background - but the music that I remember most fondly is from Zelda III, and Super Mario Bros. Simplistic but catchy, and I can guarantee that they'll stick in your head for days after playing!

Now this is what I'm talking 'bout..

oh yeah.. /me drools :biggrin:

I've always liked the music in MoH, but that's mostly because it fits while you're playing.

I enjoyed the music in Enter the Matrix, mainly because it's the entire Matrix score by Don Davis. (this is what made the game slightly feel like the films)

The game "XIII" has some pretty good music too ... the game mixes its
music to the action you've got on screen. Jazz, Techno, Rock ... nice
and clean mixes !

Ahar! I'm starting to design all my sven-coop maps so they FORCE the player to listen to in game music.

Personally, DOOM music still reigns supreme (Bobby Prince!), Sven-Coop
stuff is good, such as cyborg-BLEVO, Cyborg Second Mix, and Ballad of
Sven Coop are all good and fun. Go to Sven's front page and check
out the downloads if you wanna hear if (I'd give a link, but I'm on a
school computer right now.)

Goldene 64 Music is still one of my faveorites. One of the very
few games where I like all the music tracks on the... cartridge...

Doom on the PSX had a great soundtrack (miles better than the rubbish
on the PC), but my favourite soundtrack has to be either Silent Hill, MGS 3 or
Final Fantasy 8. :smile: The ending song on Max Payne 2 deserves a mention as well.

Blasphemy.

my fav music is:

HL2

Jets n guns (a band i like did the music :razz: )

Quake 2 and Quake 3 done by Sonic Mayhem.

"One Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII was an incredible song, and
the general boss battle music was also amazing, but I think like
Andrew, Beyond Good and Evil may well steal the top spot for game
soundtracks. It really is awesome, being humourous, atmospheric,
charming, non-intrusive and just plain enjoyable all at the same time.
Much love for the first time in Mammago's (rasta hippos for gods sake!)
and the Akuda Bar :smile:

GTA3 and GTA:VC are the uncrowned kings of pc-game soundtracks, having entire hours of listening pleasure.
