What game has the best soundtrack?

[icame]

I am going to have to say Metal gear solid 4 or Uncharted 2. The Main themes never fail to make me feel awesome.

Also another one to mention would be the soundtrack from the First 3 Silent hill games because it made it just that much scarier.

MEGAMAN!! nothing beats spark mandriller and storm eagle!

Halo: Combat Evolved.

Srsly.

GADZOOKS!! I forgot the 8-bit era T-T Yeah Mega Man 1&2 had an amazing soundtrack

FFX. That game has an AMAZING soundtrack. And all the tunes are so immersive, setting the mood for whatever scene they're playing over.

castlevania has always had some pretty hawt music too.

Well, as I'm ninja'd by almost everyone here, let me add something different....

 

[Gardenclaw]

TONY HAWKS 3 you fools! ! ! so much great rock/punk on one game.

I do also like the Halo combat evolved suggestion. It is very very epic music in that game.

 

[Phunckha]

The whole Silent Hill series, Akira Yamaoka does absolutely brilliant job in the music department, fits to the games really well and creates a really creepy atmosphere.

 

[Znakemane]

I really liked the soundtrack from Mass Effect 2. It succeeds in setting the mood for all situations. I can also get behind the FFX suggestion, which is also great.

 

[ShenCS]

The BlazBlue series. A unique character theme for each character and a couple of Vs. themes, alongside the JAM Project-esque Bang Install, lyric'd versions of some themes and console opening songs sung by KOTOKO. Might sound overwhelmingly Japanese, but that's just because you haven't listened to the sheer quality of the perfectly themed music. Gluttony Fang, Marionette Purple, Memory of Tears... The whole damn soundtrack could stand on its own as outstanding without the game.

Lost Odyssey, Portal, Alan Wake, Mirror's Edge, to name a few I've been enjoying lately.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Every time I hear "Guerrilla Radio" I automatically think of skateboarding because of that game. Some songs from Papa Roach and Powerman 5000 don't hurt either.

God of War 2. Best main menu theme of the series. I still hum it to this day.

Like the OP said, Uncharted 2 because the main theme makes really sharpens you up for some treasure hunting.

 

[Urgh76]

No one said the Zelda franchise?

 

[RowdyRodimus]

Brutal Legend. Pure rock and none of the annoying teenie bopper stuff we hear on the radio all the time? Yes please.

 

[drbarno]

Super smash bros brawl. takes everything nintendo had and made it better.

 

[Michailov]

Skullmonkeys!
Tightly followed with The Neverhood.

 

[Guy32]

I liked DJ hero's soundtrack, but I doubt many people on this site will agree with me.

As for instrumentals, I like most of what the FF and Zelda series produce.

 

[latenightapplepie]

If you can find a link to that tune, you win a cookie.

COOKIES!

And I totally agree on Morrowind's soundtrack. Better than Oblivion's, I thought. That could just be the nostalgia talking though...

My contribution:

I think a great many videogame soundtracks are really excellent. For me there isn't a best one. I guess I'm just easily pleased. But one game which I didn't expect to have marvellous music and really took me by surprise, was Mirror's Edge.
