Best videogame soundtrack?

[Gormers1]

Ive made a top 10 list of soundtracks for the xbox actually. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/277438.html
Also, there are a lot of other games like these:

Rayman 2 had an amazing score. It was like something you could get out of a disney movie. All the songs were interactive so it changed when something happened, and fit each stage perfectly.

Age of conan had a very good soundtrack too.

Red steel had a surprisingly awesome score that nailed the japanese theme perfectly. Slow and sweet karaoke songs, crazy jap rock/pop songs, spooky ninja music that sounds like something from an old fighting movie, it was all there.

Other mentions go to the main theme of super mario galaxy, prince of persia Sot, halo 2, 007: everything or nothing, crash twinsanity, max payne, burnout 3, psychonauts, king kong, gta vice city, and SSX blur and on tour.

My personal favourite soundtrack is and always will be that from Morrowind. However, I've taken a liking to the '50s music of Fallout 3.

There are a lot I like, but curiously, one has come to mind

the original Sonic The Hedgehog

 

[Syphonz]

Parasite Eve, HAZE (its the only part of the game that lived to the hype ).

 

[MHunterZero]

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet. Jet Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio Future. Some of the most awesome music in gaming history.

GTA: Vice City takes the award from me.
However, that is not the only game worth mentioning.
I love the soundtracks to Oblivion, Shadow of the Colossus, and Ace Combat Zero.
If I was to make another prize, it would be for best original soundtrack (since Vice City doesn't have an original one), it would hands down go to Guild Wars: Eye of the North (Jeremy Soule is amazing with epic music).

Awesome and incredibly repetitive at the same time xD

Watch and hear yourself.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 are the ones I listen to the most. Halo 2 has some awesome stuff with guitars, but overall doesn't have much depth. Halo 3 on the other hand... wow. The album is composed in a way that when you listen through it, it's like you're playing the game. The end pieces are the best ones... you really feel a sense of "it's all over". The Halo story is finally finished. It's an incredible soundtrack and easily gaming's best as far emotion and accomplishment goes.

Half Life series
The music and sometimes lack there-of makes the game realy immersive and awesomesauce

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (Avatar Tuner).

The best soundtrack I have ever heard in a video game, but that's because I like guitar driven music in games. Shoji Meguro effectively conveys the meloncholy of the world through the area themes, the boss themes are adrenaline enducing rock anthems and even the little themes (like the shop theme and save point theme) are nice. The best thing about the music? It suits the each of the situations you are in, the End Boss music is some of the most epic music I've heard in video games.

Some of my favourite tunes;
Muladhara (Area theme, DDS1)
Sahasrara (Area theme, DDS1)
Big Battle (Regular Boss theme, DDS1)
Hunting (Regular Battle theme, DDS1)
Hunting-Compulsion (Mini Boss theme, DDS1)
Hunting-Comrades (Another Mini Boss theme, DDS1)
Hari-Hara The Second Movement (Final Boss theme, DDS1)

MODERN MASTERPIECE!
Ace combat 6

Fits the game perfectly, Acually all the music in this game rules.
Racedriver GRID

Just because I felt like adding one of those good old classics.
Daddly mulk, why the hell not?

If you get bored of the Ace Combat one jumt to 2.30 or something.

Breaking Benjamin and Incubus were awesome in Halo 2. I was hoping they'd be in Halo 3

Of course Martin O'Donnell always kicks ass

 

[Cheshire Cat]

For sheer comedy value I'd vote for the Katamari Damacy games :-D
For pure, awesome tunage I say the Wipeout 1 and 2 music (only Wipeouts I've played) and the tracks from Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer Revolution games.
Honourable mention also goes to the C&C series for Hell March

 

[Solnishka]

I am so conflicted...

My money is on Castlevanias Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow (They borrow from the SotN so much), and Katamari Damacy.

And seriously, who can be mad when you hear those opening "Na na nana" of Katamari?

 

[Em-mental]

I'm surprised that no-one has said Super Mario Galaxy yet (at least I don't think anyone has) so it'll be mine.

 

[N.K]

Diablo, the Tristram music is just great, great, great.

Lost Odyssey had some great stuff in it as well.

the credit music in Mass Effect is great and was pretty unexpected, I was expecting some run-of-the-mill epic space-music and instead I got great music!

 

[Deschamps]

I absolutely loved the soundtrack in Braid. The music was not only great to begin with, but it gets better when you manipulate time, especially at the end when you're able to slow down time with the ring.

I'm a little obsessed with telling people how great this game is...

For me it has to be Golden Sun, with it's fast paced battle theme, haunting music of sol sanctum and the heroic theme of Venus Lighthouse it was incredible to listen to, the amazing thing was it was GBA audio and it still sounded epic.
