Best Video Game Soundtracks

[brenchill]

The answer, of course, is Streets of Rage 2. But I was wondering what else you thought had a great soundtrack?

[Skummy]

Oh, absolutely Streets Of Rage 2. Yuzo Koshiro (I think that's spelled correctly) is absolutely phenomenal. It's the only video game i can think of where I fairly regularly would DJ tracks from the soundtrack, and it never felt out of place.

[ROC]

There's not a better one. The end. Close thread.

[apsham]

Earthbound.

There is no other.

[EddieG]

GTA: Vice City.

[Skummy]

Oh, also Jet Set Radio.

[Hobo]

The Ocarina of Time sountrack is amazingly pretty.

[Skummy]

And Katamari, obviously. How had I not mentioned Katamari?

[FLiam]

Mass Effect 3 is pretty epic. As is Uncharted.

How on earth could I forgot this piece of musical genius;

Takes me back.

Rock Band with all the DLC.

[KONGO]

Hotline: Miami and Bully. Bully soundtrack is fucking phenomenal.

Also Morrowind, but only when I was playing it and loaded in Earth and Kyuss and shit.

[Sousa]

Donkey Kong Country 2 is my favorite.

[brenchill]

You know what, I spent a large portion of my childhood playing DKC2 and up until you posted that, I had forgotten all about it.

[Red Devil-Taker316]

NHL 98/99.

[brenchill]

Should have probably specified OST, but whatever.

Mortal Kombat has to be up there, too.

[GhostMachine]

Final Fantasy X

Mass Effect 2 and 3

Xenosaga Episode I

[Hobo]

This game is very much part of Hobo's childhood.

[Bobfoc]

All the Metal Gear Solid games. All of the Mega Drive Sonic games too, but mainly the second one.

[TKz]

Toss up for me between FF7 and FF8. Pretty much dedicated my childhood to playing those two over and over again, I've probably collectively spent more time listening to the Balamb Garden theme whilst reading through GameFAQs than any other song.

MGS is another great shout, though. The panic the music in that game could evoke was fantastic.

Sousa, I agree with you. Though everyone remembers:
