Best music in a game?

[GarethDW]

Xenon II

I was gonna say this one too. I reckon the others are all too young to remember just how good this was back in the day.

Can't believe that was almost 20 years ago!

Otherwise the various Zelda games have some awesome music.

Halo:CE has the best ingame music ever, period.

Away from PC and onto consoles. Must be both Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast) and Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox)! They are absolutely amazing! I have both soundtracks!

Cant forgot the band in Mos Eisley Cantina. SWG rules. (same tune as in film obviously!)

I remember in the days of the GTEF going in to heal my battle wounds on my Jedi and all of a sudden some wimpy TKM starts having a go, quickly floor him then half the room turned red. Good times!

Bioshock as love jazz and swing.

 

[The IPB]

Red Alert and Red Alert 2

 

[Vimanis]

Anything by Squaresoft's Nobuo Uematsu, most memorably the final fantasy series.

Surprsingly some of the 8 bit music on the snes/megadrive had really great scores, as mentioned in games like streets of rage and sonic.

 

[Tejstar]

Why no mention of The Longest Journey or Dreamfall?

Full Throttle, back in the day when developers couldn't hire the entirety of the full Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

[krooton]

GTA: VC
Chrono Trigger
Starcraft
SSX Tricky, solely for having Hybrid - Finished Symphony on it

Medal of honor, GTA vice city and of course the BF1942 theme!
