What do you think about video game music?

[Diamond187]

I'm just curious to see what people think of that diddy in the background as we decaptitate our enemies on the planet Blarghast.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Final Fantasy music and Chrono Trigger's music (I love Frog's theme). And who doesn't know the Mortal Kombat theme, LOL, I still remember the original commercial.

[Kaskas]

some video game songs are great, japanese games got very nice music usually.

other game with awesome music was X-com.

[Sinkman34]

Devil may cry had great music

[Rambo]

I like the soundtrack on Madden 04. Its really good mix of music. I especially like the song, "The Whole World Is Country"

[Freddy]

Mario's theme song is always stuck in my head.

do do do do do do do doo,
doo do do do do do

ahh...gotta love it.

[Rambo]

Mario's theme song is always stuck in my head.

do do do do do do do doo,
doo do do do do do

ahh...gotta love it.

is that a song? or just sounds? lol that one's a classic

[Freddy]

who cares if it isnt, its probably the most memerable videogame song ever.

[Rambo]

off of one of the most memorable crappy 8 bit video games ever lol

What?! Old school Mario rules! Who needs plot when you just run from one side of the screen to the other dodging enemies and jumping pits?

AMEN to that brother! :D :D

[Kaskas]

Mario had a plot... but i have to say the word "lesbian pie" too many times to explain it.

[Vagrant]

Deus Ex, Chrono Trigger, Half Life, they all had great soundtracks.

I also like some anime series' music.

[Kaskas]

i doesnt remenber half life music, its extrange, i played it a lot...

[Rambo]

"lesbian pie"

mmmmm lesbian pie. ANyway, what about Pac man music? lol

[Vagrant]

i doesnt remenber half life music, its extrange, i played it a lot...

just pop your hl cd into a cd player, I like the songs: 2, 4, 10, 14, 16, 25

all i can remember right now

[Diamond187]

Who remembers the C&C: Red Alert track "Hell March"? That song rocked.

[The First]

What about the SFX for Combat? Now that was a game with great sound.

[synystergates5]

On Madden 07 they have Atreyu. The song Ex's and Oh's and i liked it, so i looked them up and now Atreyu is like my favorite band.

[zafarat]

This thread is 3 years and some months old. Try not to bump old topics. I'm just trying to keep track of what new members are doing.

[Kravers]

Half-life 2 songs are plain awsomes.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

The princess is in a different castle!

[Malignus]

Did any of you ever play Dark Wizard for Sega CD? That game had an awesome, fully-orchestrated soundtrack. It's probably still my favorite even today, though Arcanum (http://www.terra-arcanum.com/sierra/media/media-soundtrack.html) comes close to topping it.

[chaotic EQUILIBRIUM]

Xenosaga series has great music, mostly orchestrated. Then there's Devil May Cry music, best for when you're in the mood to torture demons. Final Fantasy X's and XII's music was great. Half Life 2's music was creepy at the right time.. lol

[Malignus]

Good thing I payed attention to english class huh?

Not enough, you didn't.

[MushroomMammoth]

Video game music - overall I liked the mario songs, and Marble Zone from the original Sonic. Out of recent video-games, the Tony Hawk series has a killer sound-track, but those weren't made expecially for the game, so I dun think they really count...

[SalsatheGeek]

I focus more on the composers, but the games do affect what I listen to. Konji Koda, the composer of Mario and Zelda music, is pretty good. Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for most of the FF series' music, varies a lot from classical to contemporary.

Overall, it is a good music type.

[.Valhalla.]

I loved the music from the chinese market in Deus Ex. Halo series has good music, so does Morrowind, Half Life 2, Vietcong, Hitman series ,and grand theft auto.

Also Zelda

[ssgtGrimreaper]

Clinton, GTFO.

Ontopic: I don't pay attention to video game music much, unless it's a soundtrack from good bands.

[Freddy]

I've recently come to the realization that nearly ANY video game music done with a full orchestra is just about better than most other kinids of video game music.

I say most because sometimes it just doesn't fit. In a sports game or in some kind of technological enviroment. Metroid Prime comes to mind.

But for nearly every other case, orchestral score > anyhtinig else.

[ccc.money]

Guildwars series seemed to have pretty solid music I thought..

[.S0L!D.]

The best video game music I have ever experienced is in Star Trek - Deep Space Nine: The Fallen. The music in ST: DS9:TF is not simply a track repeating over and over again, but it goes along with the action, and it really helps to set the mood for the game.

[Noob Saibot]

Music from GTA: SA (Radio X, Radio Los Santos) and Mario Bross song is good too:
do do do do do do do doo,
doo do do do do do

[.S0L!D.]

My favorite radio stations in GTA:SA are K-DST and K-ROSE

[Noob Saibot]

K-DST is good too. Playback FM and Bounce FM are GR8
