What is your favorite video game soundtrack? What do you think is the most iconic video game soundtrack?
It's a toughie for me but my favorite is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and I'd propose that the most iconic soundtrack might be Final Fantasy VII or the original Halo.
Favorite game that utilizes music as a part of game play?
For me it's PaRappa the Rapper.
dood bigtime #1
There is a DJ who mixed chrono trigger and Jay-Z, if u like both, I suggest you search 2 mello Chrono Jigga.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Still listen to it on Spotify now and then
I always enjoyed the THPS soundtracks from the first play. Pro Skater 1 was the first time I heard Goldfinger
Midnight Club 3
fire emblem's ost is quite iconic
Donkey Kong Country
Pound for pound, DKC2 may be the "better" soundtrack. But hey, "Aquatic Ambience" and "Stickerbush Symphony" more than justify the inclusion of both DKC installments in any video game music "best of" lists, and there's plenty of other beautifully composed tracks on each.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Wipeout XL's soundtrack was absolute fire.
It was pretty epic! I hadn't thought about this one in a bit. All that high energy racing goodness. What'd ya think about the F-Zero soundtracks?
Final Fantasy VII for me.
Fairy 3 blood dragon and saints row 4
The soundtrack to Mario Paint is pretty good.
Command and Conquer has some really good stuff. Civ4 (iirc) too.
Any of the elder scrolls games, or the new doom games
Super Mario 64 - the music for the desert, water levels and underground levels in particular.
I do feel Mario stuff is incredibly iconic and I'm a fan of the way music shifts in more dangerous areas or when you're underwater. These kind of location based audio cues have always been really interesting to me.
Arthur returning back to Shady Belle. I wanted that ride to go on forever.
Most iconic is probably Super Mario Bros. even if it is just World 1-1 that people remember.
My favourite and also highly iconic is The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.
Final Fantasy VIII stood out for me more then VII, but that's probably due to the age I was when I played VIII. Also the opening cut scene for VIII is a thing of cinematic beauty that tied in heavily to how I remember the game and I think was also utilised in the TV adverts for the game.
As for games that make the soundtrack part of the gameplay, those dance mat games were massive, but Guitar Hero took things up a notch, however I'd struggle to recall any of the tracklisting for the first three Guitar Hero games bar Through The Fire And The Flames by Dragonforce.
Ocarina of Time I love for its musical elements as a part of the game play and storyline.
Totally okay to favor FFVIII. I think it was excellent. I'm personally thinking about all the extended IP in regards to FFVIII as perhaps what makes it more iconic.
Rockstar games always picked good 80's songs for the in-car radios
Agreed. The radio feature in cars has always been a really unique element of the GTA series.
Halo, Skyrim and Doom 2016
neon white
Mario bros
I love the music in Halo series but I have to say I used to open Civilization VI just to listen to this master piece https://youtu.be/WQYN2P3E06s
I really enjoy the Civ VI soundtrack, as well as Humankind. Are you psyched for Civ VII?
I'll wait for the feedback, atm I'm playing aoe4 a little
Harry Gregson-Williams and the many variations on the main theme to metal gear solid 2
Orcana of time and the Original Metroid seem memorable.
