Favourite in-game music? Aug 30, 2008 2:46:03 GMT 1

Are there any tunes in games old and new you just can't get out of your head? Any sounds that made playing a game that much more pleasurable?
There are many I can think of.
Whilst some programmers call dull blips and bloops in-game tunes even now, others go a little further to make the gaming experience more fun.
Here's some great music from games I've played, for starters...

Firstly, from the criminally overlooked and amazing 'Okami' on the PS2

Okami- Kushi's Ride

Okami- Waka appears

Okami- Confronting Waka

Next, some old favourites from my much missed gamecube... (and Sonicteam's amazing composers)..

From Sonic Adventire 2 Battle 'Prison Lane' stage (my current ringtone!

Phantasy Star Online Ep 1's 'From Seeing the Rough Wave' boss music

From PSO Ep 1 again, 'You have Nowhere to Go'

PSO Ep 2 Gal Gryphon boss

I'll post more over time... if you've got any, stick 'em up!

Burnout Paradise - PS3...A whole shed load of classical tunes are on the soundtrack...Magical

Nowt like smashing the shinola outta some driving numpty and watching his car fall to bits while Mozart's Piano Concerto No.21. plays in the background.

d.f.

Edit...As the PS3 version allows tracks to be played off the PS3's HD i might add some Poyks Tunes

that should get the RAGE up

My two current favourites in game music, though I have many are....

From the end credits of the first Mass Effect......

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHTnvX8BLc0&feature=fvst

And from the beginning of Skyrim, the Nordic choir singing of the return of the Dovakind.....

www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-buV4tYOA

"Slowly it moved toward shore, then with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray, it swung about and drove at full speed to towards the waiting Martians!!"
