Best videogame soundtrack?

[Strafe Mcgee]

Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for the Megadrive. Nothing quite reminds of me of my childhood as much as songs like this:

One of the best soundtracks of any 16 bit game in my opinion.

Flatout 2 - I think that this soundtrack actually increased the experience a lot

Painkiller
Test Drive 5
FIFA 2003

Not so much soundtrack, but one of the best users of sound as something integral to gameplay was the Thief series.

Soundtrack wise: WCII and WoW both have amazing soundtracks.
I don't get why so many people are so keen on the Halo soundtracks. They're good, sure, but not amazing in any way.

Also, can the song at the end of Portal count?

EDIT: How the hell did I forget Zelda?

For me it would defiantly have to be Castle Crashers, i can't get enough of the music from that.

I think you're all just depressed because you haven't thought to say that Banjo Kazooie truly had the best soundtrack of all time. I mean especially considering it was one of the few instances where game makers before the Xbox/PS2/GCube era thought that using real instruments was a GOOD idea.


Best use of xylophone ever.

Any Sonic game's

I haven't heard a GREAT soundtrack in years. Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, and FF 6+7 had amazing soundtracks. Halo 3 was pretty well done, nothing spectacular though. Fable 2 is pretty good too. Fallout 3 is pretty interesting, with all of its old-timey songs.

VCPR was awesome!!

Armored Core Last Raven was one of favourite as well

 

[Devil's Due]

BioShock, man it's epic and disturbing at the same time.

Yeah, Chrono Trigger was an incredible score. I also liked the OSTs from the Lunar games for SegaCD, brilliant games all around, imho.

World in Conflict has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in years; it nailed the cinematic side, and certain songs you can just listen to over and over again (Incursio, Bannon's Sacrifice, Remembering Sawyer) and they never get old.

Sim City 4 just had an abundance of incredible ambiance music, Deus Ex, Homeworld, Kingdom Hearts 2, Chrono Trigger was fantastic, the Max Payne theme song is all that game needed, Freespace 2, pretty much anything by Frank Klepacki; there's so much good gaming music out there.

Fable
Oblivion
GTA Vice City
Halo series
World of Warcraft

 

[klc0100]

I loved GTA:IVs and DMC 4s but against the flow hated vice city's

 

[theEstablishedToad]

morrowind
oblivion
final fantasy VII
SUPER MARIO
and other shit i can't remember

 

[y8c616]

the halo soundtracks are good (only played halo: ce and halo 2 so i dunno bout 3) but its basically the same 2 themes presented differently.
For its sheer epicness and the fact that i listen to it on my ipod as well as wen im playing the game, it has to be the MGS4 soundtrack

 

[Lemony]

Katamari Damacy, hands down.
World of Warcraft has some decent soundtracks.

Portals ending song - Still alive was awesome and easily the best ever ^^

Homeworld had some extremely well done stuff too.
