What's the Best Soundtrack You Have Ever Heard in a Game

[azukar]

The Final Fantasy series has always had good music, but it's FFIX that keeps me coming back again and again.

 

[GoldenCondor]

Oh god...

Warcraft II (absolutely the best!)

closely behind:

Final Fantasy 7
Silent Hill
Doom
Mario Paint Composer

 

[Rooster893]

No one is going to mention Jet Moto?
Perfect example of how skilled Joe Satriani is at guitar.

Here are a few examples:

the soundtrack for the three halo games.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES. It's a pretty generic 8 bit platformer otherwise, but that soundtrack makes late night sessions fairly spooky. It's rocking, haunting, and it's permanently lodged in my brain. Ignore what the angry video game nerd said. This game really was fun to play, mostly because of the music.

[Gondito]

Tangerine Panic.

[ClockWork]

Brutal legend is pretty good
Legend of Zelda is awesome
But the best ever is probably Bioshock (i, for one, can't stop listening to Cohen's masterpiece)

Fallout 3
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask

[dubious_wolf]

easily Halo2, Halo3 fell behind when they dropped the amazing guitar solos.

 

[jodko]

dynasty warriors empires best music ever

 

[Bad Cluster]

Neverhood
Planescape Torment
Fallout
Diablo
Dungeon Keeper
Enclave
Blood
Quake - soundtrack was very unusual for such a game.
Mech Warrior 2: Mercenaries

Do I have to pick just one? Impossible.

 

[archvile93]

The first game that had a soundtrack I really enjoyed was Mega Man X, My favorite has to be Gravity Beetle (Yes I know that X3).

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I'm sorry but there is just no contest here.

 

[imp_spittle]

Chrono Trigger, Silent Hill 2, and this for some reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-ZmqCOnsk

Wipeout for the Playstation. Arguably broke The Chemical Brothers into the mainstream.
