Just for the hell of it; Awesome game soundtracks?

[josemlopes]

I could say the tipical games but I recently found a theme that really suprised me so here it goes.


I find it very epic.

 

[Fishyash]

Sonic R.


This is a masterpiece of music that completely avoids the context of a game IMO. This would make a really cool song to listen to which is such a shame it was wasted on a mediocre racing game.

Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for slash chords. Just when used properly they are awesome.

crazy taxi had one of the best soundtracks ever.
tony hawks pro skater 3, also good.

 

[Jegsimmons]

halo
splatterhouse
Half life 2 (seriously!)
portal
...every valve game actually
red dead redemption

 

[mikev7.0]

Sonic Adventure, Sonic 3-D, Phantasy Star (O and U), and Grandia II.

I like the opening song for BlazBlue quite a lot but have to mute all the other wannabe butt rock in it. I am kinda' jammin' (for me "jammin'" is when I haven't muted it entirely by game #2) to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and NBA JAM right now though....

 

[FoAmY99]

Every Halo soundtrack.
Mass Effect 2
Ace Combat 6
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

God I love the soundtrack in the Ratchet and Clank games, especially the ones in the second game.

 

[redisforever]

I don't care about the games, but the Halo games had fantastic soundtracks.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Serious Sam are great games, but their soundtracks make me love them.

 

[Cavan]

The soundtrack to the first boss of Super Meat Boy really made me stop and go HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS, RUN!! RUN FASTER DAMNIT, OH GOD RUN!!! GO GO GO GO GO HE'S GAINING.

 

[googleback]

lately I've been playing Mafia 2, the soundtrack is fucking awesome!

 

[blackhole1]

Why has noone mentioned Starcraft II yet? It's soundtrack is amazing enough to make the completely hollow and open ending feel like a victory.
