Just for the hell of it; Awesome game soundtracks?

[Xodyac]

Mechwarrior 2. Hands down.

Spoiler: Collection of 5 tracks. Fantastic!

With a quick search, I found over 40 of these threads...

I say Baba Yetu, from Civ IV, and Tristram Theme, from Diablo II, as always.

I don't even care if it's already been said. These are the best, imo:

I could go on and on about the Silent Hill soundtracks (seriously, Akira Yamaoka is a genius!), but I'm going to list something with which fewer people are going to be familiar:

Nier is an amazing game, but it's a shame so few people have played it...

 

[Diligent]

Maybe not the best by today's standards, but music this cool had no business being on a 16 bit platform with a comparatively shit audio processor.

This never gets old:

Myst 3 exile: Main Theme

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

The first thing I think of is the Halo soundtrack (its pretty epic and it always makes me proud to be a gamer)

Also I recently meet up with an old game that i want to start playing again, but I need a new copy.

 

[Chimichanga]

Back in 1996 or '97 they made a spin-off game of the 'Beast Wars' TV series.

The game itself was rather terrible, but the soundtrack to the levels was very cool.

I can't find it anywhere, mostly because it's fallen into obscurity due to it mediocrity, but does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Good shit - or perhaps that's my nostalgia talking.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

That beat is RARE!


If you're into remixes, the originals to these are awesome as well, this might suffice...


And, of course, who could forget the Duke?

(Granted, this isn't a soundtrack - but it in itself SHOULD be a soundtrack)

 

[Scarim Coral]

Some of my favourite are-

Okami
Viewtiful Joe
No More Heroes 1 and 2
Metorid Prime Trilogy
Fire Emblem 7
The World Ends With You
Golden Sun 1 and 2
Bayonetta
Phantasy Star Online
Donkey Kong Country

VVVVVV and Super Meat Boy both have stellar soundtracks, I even bought the latter, paying $10 for 73 tracks over 2 hours. And it's totally worth it.

 

[Vakz]

Starcraft 2. I know it's not one of those old epic ones you're supposed to love, but I really love these. I bought the collector's edition of SC2, and I listen to the soundtrack constantly. According to my mediaplayer, the song I have played the least amount of times, has been played 70 times.

 

[imnot]

Halo ce
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 3 odst
Halo wars
Halo Reach, yeah halo's soundtrack will roxor everyones boxors.

 

[The Rookie Gamer]

Any Halo. It's one of the biggest reasons I love the series, because the feel, and how it sets the mood.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Every God of War soundtrack
Every Silent Hill soundtrack, except the first one because that was weird
Beyond Good & Evil
Assassin's Creed 2
Nier

And I think that's all. There a lot of good soundtracks to games but I those are my favorites, at the moment at least anyways.
