Best. Game soundtrack. Ever!

Medal of Honour: Frontline is quite good but Mario Kart on SNES is legend.

OK, this is damn obscure, but does anyone remember the end credit music for creatures 2 on the c64. That rocked.

i_am_dogboy

my favourite music in a game was either homeworld or warrior kings, like everyone else is saying the final fantasy games do have amazing soundtracks-8 is my favourite
pretty much every nintendo game has very catchy music especially zelda and mario games, sometimes i find myself walking mindlessly around outset island just to listen to the music
the command and conquer games did great things for guitar music in games, f-zero rocked....i could go on forever, i think i'll just leave it at that

I would KILL for that soundtrack!! Pur-leeeez pm me if you come across another one!!

My vote goes to the AirWolf-style main menu music of Deus Ex.

Some of the music in Baldurs Gate 1+2 was bad either. Some reminds me of the theme from Lord of the Rings.

Worst music ever has to be in any version of ISS or Pro Evolution Soccer. Sheer crap.

Zelda Ocarina of Time - N64. Heroic and cool.
Red Faction on the PS2 - VERY moody.
Ghouls and Ghosts on the Super Nintendo.
GTA 3 and GTA vice city - 'nuff said.
Gran Turismo 3 on PS2 - Just for Death in Vegas 'Aisha'
Devil May Cry on PS2

The Smircher

Can't believe Grim Fandango hasn't been mentioned yet.
Absolutely lavish soundtrack by Peter O'Connell.
I managed to get a copy from the US and it's excellent.

Washout

I still love the music from the wipeout games on playstation

tman

dungeon seige - great soundtrack, average game.

While cutting the bag guy's arm off with a chainsaw?

The music in that whole game was excellent. I particularly liked the high score entry music.....

Placebo

i dunno if this is the sound track in it but Legends of wrestling 2 has Glassjaw and Trapt and what not .

streetfighter 2 sounds track was great, guile stage

Dr_Teeth

Total Annihilation

A-Trak

Unbelievable that Streets of Rage 2 for the Megadrive hasn't been mentioned.

Also Ninja Warriors for the C64 pretty much rocked, first time I ever heard digitised speech in a game, Hawking like albeit!

Stormfox1020

MGS2, Vice City and Wolfenstien (something about its opening tune that gets stuck in my head)

_CreeD_

Total Annihilation (PC) - Jeremy Soule
Morrowind (PC) - Jeremy Soule
Parallax (C64) - Martin Galway
Lightforce (C64) - Rob Hubbard
Delta (C64) - Rob Hubbard
Conflict Freespace 2 (PC) - Havent a clue
HomeWorld (PC) - IksNay on the Clue-ay (worth it for the non-string version of Adagio for Strings alone).
Turrican (Amiga) - Chris Huelsbeck


Game soundtracks are up for their own slot in the Grammy's this year too (last year Halo was entered into the standard soundtrack section, competing against all the movie soundtracks).

Gummy Panda

I love the music from the opening sequence of Tenchu: Wraith of Heaven.

Pity the rest of the music was repetitive through the game. Good game though.

Bard

Nobody's mentioned Quake II, I see.

... but now I have.

Yay \o/

Mossy Monk

i say Quake 2 aswell

all the GTA's are good but the soundtrack on the 1st GTA holds a special place in my heart

Retr0gamer

Quake 2's soundtrack was one of those soundtracks that had me crawling for the cd music off option. Probably just my tastes because i know lots of people who liked it.

It's nice to see game soundtracks get the notice they deserve in an awards ceremony.

[edit] My choice for lifetime achievement award would go to rob rubbard

Carmageddon had some very suitable songs from Iron Maiden. It sounded very appropriate for breakneck speeding around ploughing into innocents...

Naar

Hitman 2's is very nice, done by an actual orchestra as it is.

spooky donkey

shaddow of the beast 2- amiga
morrowwind -PC
ghostbusters -c64
wipe out 2 -psx
burn out 2 ps2

thats all that comes to mind

Cake Fiend

Loaded on PS (and Saturn, although the graphics were woeful on Saturn) was rather noice (Pop Will Eat Itself)

Pigman II

'Last Ninja 2' by Matt Gray. 61mins 56secs of pure perfection.

The Soundtrack to Headhunter is very good. It won some music award recently...

orangerooster

My vote would have to go to freespace 2-an excellent score.The music really makes the game stick out in my head and pretty much most of the more recent Final Fantasy games have great music.
