Title: Which Games Have The Best SoundTrack?
Post by: DLPB_ on 2015-08-21 15:45:13
This may be interesting to see, since we can't all play every game and I'm sure I've missed some real gems.  Here's mine:


Breath of Fire III, IV
Columns
Chrono Trigger
Double Dragon II
Ecco the Dolphin
Final Fantasy IV to X (possibly XII)
Golden Axe
IQ (AKA Kurushi)
LOZ: Ocarina of Time
Megaman 3
Metal Gear Solid 1,2
Mortal Kombat (a few of them were reused, so MK1 - Trilogy)
Resident Evil II
Revenge of Shinobi
Road Rash II
Snake,Rattle 'n' Roll (Sorry, but it's nostalgia!)
Sonic 1,2 (MS), Sonic1 to 3D (MD/gen)
Soulblade
Spot Goes to Hollywood
Street Fighter II
Streets of Rage I, II
Suikoden
Super Hang-On
Super Mario 64
Super Mario 3
Super Maro Land
Super Mario World
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Tekken 3

Teranigma and Secret of Mana spring into my mind. While Secret of Evermore has for me the best audio surounding. Not to mention Zelda...

Forget FFXII it's not that memorable.

FFXII was rather poor compared, I thought, but it did have some decent ones like Rabanastre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvW9KQ5vu8Y

Oh, and Duck Tales:

Ah, yes.  Missed that one by accident!  Blue Dragon is pretty decent too.

Lost Odyssey has arguably better music than any FF ("arguably" being the key word here).

FF12 has a good soundtrack imo, but compared to the best FFs it doesn't hold up. FF13 on the other hand was rather dull overall.

TMNT the arcade game ftw!

How dare you all!! I'm going to disown all of you for not putting Shadow of the Colossus at the top of such a list (unless, of course, the list is alphabetical in which case I'll just disown you for not including it).

Only gonna list stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet, and in alphabetical order. I adore all of these soundtracks:


edit: It's also, worth checking out this alternate soundtrack to Super Mario Bros. 3 (https://soundcloud.com/shnabubula/sets/mario-3-alternate-reality). It's a collection of new songs with the SMB3 instrument set, and inspired by existing songs, but completely reimagined into something new.

Not sure how I missed that one.  I did have a bit of a discussion once with the composer Frank Klepacki.  Nice guy.  We didn't say much, and I was mainly just praising him for Hell March.

There's a quite a few there already that I've never heard.  So I'll be looking those up!  :)

@covarr.  Nice list.  I like Mario Kart too.  Especially Rainbow track from 64.  I remember Mario Kart SNES was good?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sghFi_wH0FA  this guy Tommy Tallarico is pretty good too.  he did Spot Goes to Hollywood, along with some pinball ones, and Earthworm Jim....

Which should have been on my list!

Doom on ps1, this version had a completely different ambient soundtrack, i was never very fond of the faux-metal original.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Vagrant Story

Xenogears

As for crap osts no list is complete without Resident Evil Director's Cut Dual Shock (https://youtu.be/0kcF7E69C6Q)
Title: Re: Which Games Have The Best SoundTrack?
Post by: FatedCourage on 2015-08-21 22:22:12
For me... Chrono Cross, Grandia II, and even The Last Story I thought had a pretty memorable soundtrack. But that's just me. Others I enjoyed you guys already listed like Chrono Trigger, Lost Odyssey, Breath of Fire, etc.

If we're doing crap, I'm not sure it gets much worse than Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - "Nocturne" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrpglqYeQBc), a particularly horrible remix of Sonic 3's final boss theme.

Which reminds me, I should've put Sonic Generations on my list. The 3DS version has an amazing remix of the same song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZGX1hHjo6Y).

Captain Planet... a good soundtrack:

The Last Remnant - One of the most unknown and underrated games of all time, and surprisingly it's made by Square Enix.

I just realized I forgot Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside. Really, most games by Humongous Entertainment belong here, but this one in particular had a great soundtrack:

I'm surprised I forgot about The Last Remnant... Thought it was a good game for what it was. I think people just weren't willing to give it a chance because they didn't want to learn the combat, strategy, and be willing to grind. It's not a game you can just mindlessly run through.

I also forgot to mention Dark Cloud and Infinite Undiscovery had some pretty good tracks. Again, to me.

Any Sonic game is bound to have great soundtrack.
Terraria's soundtrack is also great.

And yes, as was mentioned before, Duke Nukem has soundtrack worthy and fitting.

Yes I forgot about this one. Pretty solid soundtrack. The story and characters were rather dull though (for the most part), imo.

There's also some games/soundtracks which tend to not be brought up since not many people played them:

Blue Dragon (Xbox 360)
Bravely Default (Nintendo 3DS)
Estpolis Denki II (Super Famicom)
Final Fantasy XI (PlayStation 2/Windows/Xbox 360)
Gensou Suikoden II (PlayStation)
Lost Oddyssey (Xbox 360)
Wild Arms (PlayStation/PlayStation 2, both the original and the PS2 remake, though they have some notable differences in their OSTs)

And you people here forgot these too:

Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PlayStation)
Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom/PlayStation)

PS: Yeah, mostly japanese RPGs. :P
