Padmi Skydrunkard 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Stuff I like: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/mp3/ Diablo stuff is the best (w00t) http://www.blood-sports.net/omf/omfmult/om...mf2097mus.shtml (There's also Mortal Combat music on that site) And my absolute favourite is: :D http://image.com.com/mp3/images/misc/icewinddale2_01.mp3 It's a bit too short for my taste though. I also like BG series music, NWN, Morrowind and...I can't think of any more right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveThaiBinh 1 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Arcanum is probably number one - it's a refreshing surprise to find a string quartet in a computer game. http://www.benhouge.com/Arcanum.mp3 Morrowind was great, but repetitive. I hope Oblivion invests in a few more tunes. Even people who thought the graphics were outdated and the gameplay weak acknowledge that the music for Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire was excellent. A special mention for the opera at the end of Gabriel Knight 2. This for me set the standard for how gripping the ending of a game should be. Quote "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

mkreku 910 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Deus Ex had a pretty good soundtrack. Quote Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to post Share on other sites
Tel Aviv 295 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Deus Ex had a pretty good soundtrack. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It did. Invisible War too, though they also used selected music from the 'Kidneythieves'. Final Fantasy VII had an epic soundtrack, as did Jade Empire. My absolute favorite though is PS:T. Wunderbar!

Volourn 2,546 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 FF8, Arcanum, and NWN are my top 3. The IE games, FOs, JE, and other FF games come up in the second tier. Quote DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to post Share on other sites

paragongrid 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy Tactics (all by the same Japanese composer, if I'm not mistaken). -edit- And I am mistaken. The FFT composer also did Vagrant Story's soundtrack, which was also great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maedhros 311 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The Metal Gear Solid games, definitely. The Morrowind theme song is also pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
213374U 2,516 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 FF8, Arcanum, and NWN are my top 3. NWN had music? Anyway, my all-time favorite has to be TIE Fighter. Not only were the tracks great, it featured dynamic music that meshed with the action better than in any other game I have seen since. Some other games worth mentioning are SoA, WC1/2, and Half-Life.

Jumjalum 0 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Monkey Island 2 was the pinnacle of adlib music imo, although I never played Tie Fighter (they are probably quite similarly structured since both are by Michael Land). In modern games, Icewind Dale takes the cake for its evocative score although I really like the Diablo 2 music. Deus Ex and System Shock had some great electronic music as well. Recently the only music I have really appreciated is the tune in World of Warcraft that plays in Westfall among other places, it reminds me of The Wicker Man for some reason.

Yst 26 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Torment of course. The Longest Journey has a nice score as well. Icewind Dale has a very lovely soundtrack. And for remixes, FFVI would probably be my favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still don't understand what's so great about the Jade Empire's soundtrack, the title-track and the hymn of the waterdragon where the only ones standing out.
