video games with the best soundtrack?

Post Reply New Topic

just curious, about which games have the best soundtrack, personally, I love the sountrack from Marvel vs capcom 3, for the characters Deadpool, Dante, and X-23. the reast of my games jsut dont have that kind of sweet soundtrack. except maybe saints row the third, with the songs, "Power" and "waiting for a hero". ;ive got things like GTA 4, and NFS the run, but the solundtrack could've been better. alotught GTA 4 has some good music, like "Vagabond" but I perfer soundtrack made just for the game. it also would help me decide what game to buy next if i heard the games soundtrack.

are there any games like Marvel vs Capcom 3 that have a specific music theme for each character?. i think there may be some anime style games or fighting games with good soundtrack that are like this. but im not sure and i dont know what to search for.
and could someone show me the music from games they like? it could help me out alot. so, thanks if anyone will do this for me.

Been up all night playing Rome Total War. Has some really atmospheric stuff.

Here are my overall favorites. Not sure if I could pick just one game.

Okami
NieR
Killer7
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario Galaxy
Banjo-Tooie
Kirby's Adventure
Zelda: Adventure of Link
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Zelda: The Wind Waker
Zelda: Skyward Sword

Descent 2
Quake series

I've really enjoyed the Halo 3 soundtrack (martin O'Donnell), Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Jesper Kyd), and the main theme for Gears of War, especially the track 'Finale' from GoW2 (Steve Jablonsky), which I'm listening to now, seriously give it a go. Years ago I liked Shogun: Total War. I think another one was from Resident Evil 4, although I never bought the soundtrack.

The Shin Megami Tensei: Persona games have really awesome soundtracks, as does Square Enix's title for the DS, The World Ends With You.

I also have the song "New World Order" from NFS: The Run on a playlist that I listen to when freerunning. In case you don't remember, this is the track that plays when Jack's car gets totaled by the Las Vegas PD and he has to escape from them in a parkour chase scene.

Streets of Rage 2

The Final Fantasy Games

The World Ends With You

I can never choose one with these kinds of things

Spyro the Dragon series (only 1-4, which are the ones written by Stewart Copeland)

Crash Bandicoot series up to Twinsanity (imo the games may have gone downhill from The Wrath of Cortex, but the music is the one thing that saved it from completely crashing and burning, no pun intended )

Sonic the Hedgehog series. While the Dreamcast era was the best, even some of the more "modern" tracks using a rock band aren't that bad.

Super Smash Bros. series: original tracks to the series only lol The remixes, on the other hand...

Donkey Kong series: ALL games lol

Jak and Daxter series

Ratchet and Clank series

That's all I can think of for now!!

Darksiders is definitely up there on my list.

In my opinion:
-Folklore (FolksSoul in Japan)
-the Silent Hill series
-the Mass Effect Series
-Braid
-Alice: Madness Returns
-Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
-the Castlevania series
-Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City
-Kingdom Hearts
-Halo 2&3
-God of War 3
-Resident Evil 2

I'll stop there.

Donkey Kong Country 1 2 3
Binding of Isaac
Silent Hill Series
Super Mario RPG

Nobody's mentioned Final Fantasy 7 yet? One of my favorite games of all time, yet if you take away the music, it would be a below average RPG.

Others I feel deserve mention are the Castlevania games, (esp. SotN, Rondo, and the NES original,) Final Fantasy 6, Square's "other" RPG series (Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger,) Nights: Into Dreams, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Diablo, and of course the classic Mario and Zelda music of the NES era.

Not really a soundtrack, I know, but I liked the Hardcore station in GTA4's Lost and Damned. That aside, I've always loved this
