just wondering what's your personal favorite video game soundtrack in regards to licensed music? Mine is probably GTA V or the first Saints Row game.

65daysofstatic doing the soundtrack to No Man's Sky was pretty dope.

Spyro trilogy. It was composed by Stewart Copeland, the drummer for The Police

Vice City was a classic.

Top Gear for Super Nintendo. The soundtrack jams.

The soundtracks to Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill 2, instant classics for me to this day. For licensed music I would have to go with the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, opened my ears to a ton of artists that I still love and play for my kids.

Wipeout XL - It's from when games first started having true soundtracks. It's going back further than all but maybe 1 of the current replies, but it was so solid.

Loved the music in Fifa 07. With muse - super massive black hole and Keane - nothing in my way as most popular songs I think.

If we talking original composition then it's Undertale. It's frequent use of leitmotifs retells the story so easily. Filled to the brim with feelings. Considering it was written by Toby Fox himself who went on to write some songs for Nintendo

Hands-down, absolutely and without any hesitation whatsoever is Betrayal at Krondor's soundtrack. It's majestically epic, and isn't just a great tune or two, but has a *minimum* of 20 fantastic spellbinding tracks, and lots of variations on a couple of the main theme tracks. Unapparelled.
In a distant, distaaaaant second and third would come Castlevania Symphony of the Night and THPSII. Megaman II and III also had great soundtracks. Fallout New Vegas has a very moody, memorable soundtrack as well.
Ocarina of Time has an obviously fantastic soundtrack as well, as does Chronotrigger.

Nintendo game soundtracks are licensed. You mean songs that were not originally made for a game.
pspartoutsr OP t1_j92orcr wrote
My original post was specifically talking about music licensed specifically for a game, not music composed for a game, i've never once heard of original video game compositions refereed to as licensed music.
ZookeepergameDeep482 t1_j92qpwi wrote
They hire composers and the music is Nintendo licensed, you get copyright notice using song/sample/instrument version. I'm a musician and Nintendo sheet music is very popular
Due-Preparation5104 t1_j92qx3w wrote
Definitely GTA V. I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately and aside from a few songs, the licensed music just doesn't hit the same way. GTA V's radios are perfect.

Persona 4, Total Annihilation, Fallout New Vegas

I guess I see your logic, I should've specifically said licensed SONGS in the original post to be more clear.
