Video Game Music?

The best video game music I know is:

- Chrono Trigger Brink of Time Arrange
- Xenogears Creid Arrange
- A lot of Final Fantasy Albums (Celtic Moon, Dear Friends, etc...)
- Rockman 1-6 Collection (for an incredibly nice sounding oldschool feeling)
- Silent Hill Soundtracks
- Super Smash Bros Melee ~ Smashing Live! (orchestrated)
- Shenmue Orchestra Version
- Motoi Sakuraba's Stuff (Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean)
- Aka Original Soundtrack
and a lot more!

The best thing with a lot of game soundtracks is that they are recorded incredibly well. (I can only speak for the Japanese originals though)

I'm all about the classics: Megaman, Castlevania, Dr. Mario. I'd like to hear more videogames create catchy upbeat tunes - with the sound capabilites of today's hardware and the old 8- and 16-bit sensibilities.

Then again, I lost most of my interest in videogames when I needed to own three systems just to get the obscure games I like more than twice a year:

Katamari Damacy (amazing soundtrack), Viewtiful Joe, Gradius V, Ikaruga, Metal Slug...

I find that the Guilty Gear series has consistently good music, although Guilty Gear XX stands apart from the rest. I'm also quite fond of Parrappa the Rapper's soundtrack. The Silent Hill series was great as well, with number 3 being the best of the bunch IMO.

Star Wars: KotOR I and II both had awesome scores, but then again, Star Wars usually does.

Halo - the main theme fits incredibly well, I love listening to this.

If anyone has ever heard it, the theme to "Wild Arms" is one of the most incredible things I've ever heard

A lot of the Final Fantasy games

I'm going to have to go with the classic "Mega Man II" answer for this.

 

[Scotty757]

Oh yeah, and if anyone was smart enough to pick up the collector's edition of Warcraft 3- it included a soundtrack CD that was....awesome.

Argh, I should be shot for forgetting this one. It's one of the most memorable theme songs I've ever heard, and definitely one of my favorites.

Yeah baby! That brings back some seriously freaky memories. I loved just chillin in the village to listen to the music. ROCK ON!

God of War had really good music. Shadow of the colossus too. Advent rising would have had very good music if it had been made right. And who can forget starcraft?

the black mages do some awsome renditions of many of the songs from the finaly fantasy series. If you like the music from final fantasy give them a listen.
