Favourite Music in a Video Game

Gizmo55 · 2017-02-23 13:14:10

Wondering what people's favourite music from a Video Game might be. From Final Fantasy XIII, 'The Vestige' is one of my favourites, I stopped playing when it started just to listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv1AXalaRhg

Loved the tune in the burning the weed mission in Far Cry 3

I'm not a fan of that music genre but it just worked so well for that mission.

I remember Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 having an excellent soundtrack.

'You' - by Bad Religion, definitely the track that sticks out.

I love the music on the C64 version of Commando, it's even better than the arcade. Some clever person has ported It on to the 128k Spectrum game, and game play. But this is still the ultimate.

Though not Xbox related, unless you stretch to emulators on the Xbox!

Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

Soundtracks in the Hotline Miami games are great if you like that kind of synthwave stuff. I've replayed levels just to listen to the music again! Same goes for Super Hexagon, music is absolutely perfect for the game.

In terms of licensed stuff, FIFA 99, 2000, 2004, THPS 2, SSX On Tour and obviously Vice City are up there in my favourites.

F.E.A.R OST was amazing too.

Loved the level and boss tunes in this.

There are many more, but I think these are the stand out ones (for me, at the moment!).

Bioshock Infinite. Loved the anachronistic versions of newer songs and the in-game explanation for them.
