best game sound track?

for me it has to be Red Alert 2, with "Hell March 2" being THE BEST game song ever. its such a good sound track that i bought the CD for it, and listen to hell march 2 everyday to get me psyched out, works wonders for the gym.

Equinox - Snes

Tim & Geoff Follin are Gods! At a time when sound usage wasn't as important as graphics and gameplay, they really pushed the envelope.

But as this is the PC section, i'm guessing you mean PC only, so i'm going with Final Fantasy VII, it still gives me a weepy eye

FF VII was the first soundtrack I thought was amazing. Before it was a few other RPGs but I never really thought much of the soundtracks.

Mind you Streets of Rage II was an amazing soundtrack for its day.. but that isn't PC.

Most appropriate soundtracks - Incubation and UFO : Enemy Unknown. You wouldn't listen to them by themselves, but by god they dripped atmosphere.

Best - Fantasy General - for a pretty standard hex based wargame, this had an amazing choral score.

Homeworld - wow, just wow.

Edit - and going way, way back, Shadowfire for the C64

well it is in the PC but i meant over all

The first Halo game and Mafia are some of my favourite game soundtracks.

edit: Hitman: Blood Money too!

not to forget GTA 3 and vice city

FFVII is the only soundtrack I still have installed on my PC after all these years so I guess that says volumes to me.

GTA games have always had some impressive soundstracks.

BloodyL · 31 Jul 2008 at 07:24

My top three:

1)Max Payne series...simply stunning musical works that really add to and heighten the emotional experience.
2)Unreal Tournament...I still leave the main menu running for a while when I fire this game up, just to hear the main title track.
3)Grand Theft Auto III...The radio stations in this game were sheer class in a glass.

Zelda:Ocarina of Time: Temple of time music was amazing.

Adsta · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:34

I think FF7 is the only soundtrack i own so im going to say that, fantastic to listen too when you are in the right mood

FrenchTart · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:42

Secret of Mana on the SNES.

Pure Land theme, Temple of Mana theme...amazing

Adsta · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:45

hang on i change my mind.... sonic 2 i loved that soundtrack !!!

uv · 31 Jul 2008 at 11:45

Bioshock.. an utterly amazing soundtrack. Makes me tingle when I listen to it.

The HL2 soundtrack is pretty awesome too

IIRC, Ridge Racer 5 had some great trance ch00ns, but that was a console game..
