..::Best Song In A Game::..

The final fantasy VII songs are prety good,i love one winged angel

the best songs r from ninja gaidem i cant stop singing them.

Castlevania: SotN has the best soundtrack in history, and there are several awesome songs (orchestral) on there.

FF VII also has some of the best music ever as well.

There' s many more! For me there' s really no individual best as I find tracks that I absolutely love in many games.

i love those games2

Has anyone listen to the music in the current Prince of Persia 2 trailer? It' s kind of Arabian meets head banging rock. I like it -- can' t get it out of my head.

in no order:

halo
metroid series
ikaruga
panzer dragoon orta
final fantasy series
castlevania series

A fate brings its will back to the original place and awakens the first
conscience engraved on the deep valley of memory. This is what drives Ikaruga...

Terry Bogart listed many of my favs.

Castlevania Symphony of da NIght was 100% sythesizer, BTW. It just sounded orchestral. Obviously the choir was real. One of my favorites as well!

Nights and Burning Rangers. I have no idea where the Spnic Team got the people to do the music but it' s soo kind of cheesy that it works. The singing in Christmas Nights was actually better (as it was sung by adults in the Christmas version rather than kids).

Anyone remember the music for Sonic R. Eek!

I' ll agree with Shenmue music... it' s not my usual taste but it works so well

As for Sonic Adventure, I' m not too sure. Bar the main theme for the game most of the music is really poor. SA2 has the best music of current Sonic games (I Am The Eggman!) though Team Chaorix theme in Sonic Heroes is ace.

Castlevania Symphony of da NIght was 100% sythesizer, BTW. It just sounded orchestral. Obviously the choir was real. One of my favorites as well!

Whether it was synthesized or not, it was still orchestral in nature. Synthesizers simply recreate pieces of music; the music in the game is defined as " Orchestral."

Fair E-Nuff

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!

That music gets my adrenaline pumping...

Videogaming is the contemporary interactive pasttime.

Personally I enjoyed the music in the original Sonic Adventure alot more than the other next-gen Sonic games..

I felt Jun Senoue did a darn good job with themes like:

Speed Highway: At Dawn
Pleasure Castle
Dilapidated Way
Lost World
NiGHTS theme

Tails' theme
Theme of E-102
And a few more that escape me at the moment.

For me, the only REAL stand out theme in Sonic Adventure 2 was the Escape from the City theme.. " Follow me, set me free, trust me and we will escape from the city." - the rest of the soundtrack just didn' t have catchy melodies like that of the original so the Escape song was the only one I recorded to disc so I could listen to while on the go.

fathoms' favorite theme in Symphony of the Night is: " I AM THE WIND, I AM THE SUN, AND ONE DAY WE' LL ALL BE ONE!"

Terry, I agree there... Escape From The City was ace. I' ve always been a big Eggman fan though and for him to get a song as cool as I Am The Eggman still brings a smile to my face. The best music in Sonic games has always been the boss music ^_^ Some of the characters themes in SA I thought were a little lackluster, as were some of the music in the levels.

Who did the music for Sonic R? I don' t know if I want to shake his hand or shoot him.

Richard Jaques did the music for Sonic R. I shared a few e-mails with him. He said that the vocals were most definitely NOT his idea. But Sonic R at least includes the option to turn the vocals on or off. When they are off, it' s great stuff! Richard also did some cool music for Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn version) and contributed to Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future.

fathoms' favorite theme in Symphony of the Night is: " I AM THE WIND, I AM THE SUN, AND ONE DAY WE' LL ALL BE ONE!"

That song rules.

That song makes Celine Dion sound GOOD. And she does not, in any sense, sound good. That song is ass, unless you like ass music. :)

I no! if i wanted to hear ass music i would fart into a mic.

the Guilty Gear x and xx. those BGMs are the best ( For fighting games anyway) i found the band that plays there stuff. they are call Testament. like the char. in the game. if you hear there stuff, it is like musical sex! real good stuff.

There are loads of games with brilliant soundtracks. I particularly liked the old 16-bit Sonic titles for quality tunes. If I had to choose one song featured in a game which stood out above all others though, it would have to be the Shenmue theme in Shenmue 1 on Dreamcast. Just phenomenal! The whole game had good music but that one piece was ace. Very emotional and suited the scene at the end of the game where Ryo sails away on the ship prefectly.

WHERE IS SHENMUE 3 SEGA!!??!!

Life' s a bitch, and then you die!

Doesnt anyone remember Donkey Kong Country?????


+ Most games have 1 or 2 really good songs.

XBL Gamertag:RUSSIAN mobster
XBL Games:Splinter Cell:PT,PGR2,Mech Assault, Crimson Skies, MM3, DDR, Rainbow Six 3, Unreal Championship, NFL2k3, Moto GP, Tetris,RalliSport Challenge 2,HALO 2.

without a doubt it' s one winged angel. That' s the final boss music for sephiroth in FF VII. That music was amazing, I don' t know why they don' t do something like that again

" Overworld" in FFX. It' s the beginning scene when Tidus is playing Blitzball.

It' s Nobuo Uetmatsu' s(the composer for Square) band " The Black Mages" , who are wildly popular in Japan.

MGS has allways had a good souindtrack, and i loved the max payne 2 title music suited it so well. But their has never been a game that i played which i actully stoped the game and said " that music rocks" that will be the day when a games music will reach a new level.

Oh and whoever asked about the pop2 music, that was made a a rock band called Godsmack " I stand alone" and " on the line" ? i think it was around that one. I stand alone sticks in your mind.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Most of the Legend of Zelda series have excellent music in them. Nobody can argue that Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is the best out of all of them.

Dr. Robotnik' s Mean Bean Machine, the 2 player versus music. Van Halen of midis.

Aw hell this could go on forever. But the few games I listed above should hold you over for now.

wow, you' ve got a lot of time on your hands joe. I just thought of a new favorite music. Frantic Freddie for the commodore 64. I still here it in my sleep.

What makes you think I have a lot of time on my hands? I didn' t listen to them all in one sitting.

the best song in a game is blow me away- breaking benjamins from halo 2

I believe Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, and Dead or Alive 2 have some of the best music/songs I' ve ever heard.

A really great in-game song was Lunar I' s Boat song. Wind' s Nocturne I think it was called.

I love the music from Silent Hill 4 and Hitman 3 (Jasper Kydd kicks ass). I love the Indy selection from Amped 1&2.

My current favourite videogame music (not include the awesome Ridge Racers soundtrack) is DIRE DIRE DOCKS from Mario 64 (DS) -- as in, the water levels.

Awesome!

Current favorite musical pieces come from Metal Gear Ac!d and Luminess.
