Best Ending Theme?

Deep Six

Not sure how much discussion this will generate, but what is your favorite ending soundtrack to a game?

Mine has to be the original Streets of Rage "Good Ending". It's burned in to my memory as I first heard it the day myself and my dad finished the game. I absolutely adored it even at the age of 7.

I've listened to it again tonight and cannot stop hitting replay. It is the best ending theme to a game I have ever heard in terms of melody. Even though it's going on 25 years old this year, it's still a style that isn't heard much anymore. Yuzo Koshiro is a unique talent in that regard, also composing the excellent Revenge of Shinobi soundtrack

'Through the parting glass' at the end of AC; Black Flag.

Love this song so made me enjoy the ending a lot more.

and special shout out to Metal Gear Solid....really went well with the sombre ending.
I remember hearing it for the first time and really enjoying it...and then realising it was in Irish...and liking it more.

The Portal games were the first ones to come to mind for me too. Good shout for MGS1 as well, however since you've taken most of my top picks, I'll go with the ending theme from MGS3; 'Way to fall' by Starsailor

And I'll also throw in 'Take us back' by Alela Diane, which , as if the ending of the game wasn't emotional enough, they throw a song like that at us.

Was about to say the same, It made for a brill ending and made the game so much better for me.(Not that is was a bad game)

Far Cry 4, should I stay or should I go?

Funnily enough it sums up the hidden ending at the start also!

I thought the music at the end of Halo: Reach was pretty good and apt.

I liked the song at the end of Max Payne 2 (Late Goodbye)
Also the song at the end of Prince of Persia Sands of Time (Time Only Knows).

This was practically a religious experience for me as a 13 year old.

I can't find a proper version of it on Youtube but Jimi Hendrix's '1983' is just amazing at the end of Spec Ops: The Line.
