A good soundtrack can really make or break the atmosphere in a game and turn a great game into a legendary one, so what are some of those games that you felt had a truly exceptional soundtrack that really gave the game that extra edge?

[Morty Smith]

Legend of Zelda (the series in general) has had many great tracks that stuck with me. Giving me chills every time.

The Ar tonelico and Persona series are my 2 favorites for soundtracks.

 

 

[Sebby]

I've recently been on a Quake rampage and I nominate Quake 2 (my first ever PC game) as having one of the most badass soundtracks ever made(fitting for one the greatest games of all time).

Apart from the ones everybody always says, I really liked the soundtracks to the Ace Combat series. As far as I'm concerned, there aren't any better 'epic' tracks in the world - not Two Steps From Hell, not Audiomachine, not the Mass Effect 2 End Run, and not even Gustav Freaking Holst. Those are all awesome, but if I'm exercising and need some pump-up music, I want me some Keiki Kobayashi.

I think I gave you a like for KotOR 2 that time, too. Peragus...

[TheChris92]

@Chris
 
Yeah.
 
Persona 3's soundtrack was everywhere.
 
And it was still freaking awesome.
 
Hell, the opening is enough to get a feel of just how great it is.
 

FES's opening is pretty cool, but did you watch the original opening? That one is a bit better, very foreshadowing and less spoilery than the former.

[The Love Runner]

[The Hierophant]

My all time favorites are Hitoshi Sakimoto's work for the Final Fantasy Tactics, and Vagrant Story soundtracks. His orchestral style meshes well with the theme of the cutscenes they're paired with, and compliments the mood/tone of the levels/battles without it seeming like they're out of place regardless of the genre of the track. VG's techno cathedral track being a prime example.

Mirror's Edge Introduction

SWTOR - The Occupation of Balmorra

[themikefest]

[MrFob]

Definitely Mass Effect 3 is #1 in this category for me. ME2 had a great track with Suicide Mission but ME3 is just chock full of awesome music.

Leaving Earth, the Krogan Theme, The final piano piece o Citadel's "An End Once And For All", all great tracks and well worth listening to, even outside the game.

 

Also, the Assassins Cred series has a consistently good OST. Especially Assassins Creed 2 stands out.

 

The Modern Warfare series also has some a great score (at least part of it is composed by Hans Zimmer, I believe).

 

And yet another one: The Deus Ex series, with its dark and moody score. I'd say Human Revolution has the most consistently high quality Music but special kudos goes to Deus Ex 1 for its main theme (main menu music) and even Invisible War had some great re-interpretations of DX1's tracks.

[Seagloom]

Most of the older Squaresoft stuff. Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger were the standouts. I have never before or since felt the chills I did when first playing through the opera misadventure in FFVI. The use of music there was flawless. Nicely composed, emotive, broadcast the nuanced personality quirks of the characters involved... all through melody as much as, if not more than text. Then Setzer crashes the party with his usual dashing flair and you hear his theme for the first time.

 

I can count so many awesome soundtracks (my gaming music CD collection is extensive), but very few really feel like they add another dimension to a game beyond just being nice to listen to.

Not all of these tracks are meant to be great on their own, but within the game and within it's context, it provides some awesome moments.

 

 

The music is simplistic, yet it makes the scene a whole lot better in the finale.

 

 

Beyond Earth might not be the best Civilization game. But the atmosphere and ambiance is just fantastic. Pretty much all of Civ:BE's music givs you a sense of wanderlust.

 

[L. Han]

 

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's got some awesome cyberpunk music running for it. Makes everything feel more cyberpunk. I never asked for this, but I always wanted it.

 

 

A bit of Bonnie Tyler did wonders for SR3.

 

[Jorji Costava]

Some random ones:

 

Baldur's Gate - Candlekeep

 

Planescape: Torment - Smoldering Corpse Bar

 

Hotline Miami - Miami Disco

 

Ninja Gaiden II (NES) - Tower of Lahja

[Bruce Wayne]

[N0rke]

wow, I'm kind of shocked no one has said Dark Souls yet. I thought that would have been an obvious one.

 

 

[Han Shot First]

One of the first games to have a fully orchestrated score...and it was epic:

 

 

[Han Shot First]

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

The first Witcher game had some of my most memorable, atmospherically pretty tracks, IMO. Hella relaxing tbh.

 

 

TW3 might topple it with that glorious Slavic influence, though.

 

[Seraphim24]

I put these same ones in the other video game ost thing.. might as well do it again.
