The best game soundtrack of all time

[Fuelrod]

I?m looking for suggestions for the best game soundtrack of all time. I?m talking about soundtracks that can stand on their own as true music. For me it?s Quake 2. I keep the Quake 2 CD in my car and listen to it like a regular audio CD, it rocks! What others are out there that I may have missed? C&C Generals has a good theme song but I?m not that impressed with the rest of the songs. Any suggestions?

I bet you get all the girlies.

Uhh.... Mechwarrior 2. Hands down.

 

[StevenYoo]

Final Fantasy VI.

Grand Theft Auto VC

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Guilty Gear X

It's the only one that I've ever gone out of my way to listen to.

 

[BigJimSlade]

Definitely GTA VC.

NFS Underground is pretty good too. The Andy Hunter song rocks.

I think a better question would be best original score from a game of all time.

maybe i'm alone on this one, but I'd have to say all of the Super Mario Brother's games.

 

[opticalmace]

Wipeout XL.

Or FF7.

 

[DeadByDawn]

homeworld 1 or 2, fit the game very well

 

[PoPPeR]

FFVII

 

[Saulbadguy]

ANY SquareSoft game. Dracula X. Megaman.

 

[SWScorch]

Descent 2.

 

[thenerdguy]

GTA VC and unreal 1 🙂

Depends on the music. I personally think Medal of Honor is the best game soundtrack of all time, but it's orchestral, which I'm partial to. GTA:VC has the best Compilation from outside sources soundtrack. Quake II, like you mentioned, is the best grunge/metal soundtrack I've heard.

Of course, from the past MIDI days, I enjoyed Civilization, Space Quest 3, Nova 9, and Leisure Suit Larry 3.

What about Castlevania IV, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, or Chrono Cross?

It's kind of hard to pinpoint what's the best out there. But there is a LOT of good stuff!

 

[Rubicante]

FFVI (III US)

 

[m0rbid]

I would have to say Quake. Super eerie and dark. trent Reznor rulez! The music SO fit the game.
