What are the coolest games OST in your opinion ?

Alex · 09-06-10, 10:52 AM

Personally I'd say snowboard games have the best soundtracks.

1. the full Cool Boarders 2 soundtrack (can't find my fav track from it on youtube but you can get a fair idea about it through )

2. SSX 3 :

3. SSX Tricky (this one is bad-ass, really, my FAV one from the whole SSX serie) :

More to come.

Best OST? The Command and Conquer: Red Alert games...

... and the Original C@C...

Just about anything by Nobuo Uematsu

@ TLAM :

@ Oberon : I'll look deeper into this guy's discography. While we're talking about japanese people, let's mention Akira Yamaoka. Listen to (from the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack), I'm sure you're going to love it.

Oberon · 09-06-10, 11:42 AM

I came across 'Promise' in a mod for another game, the 'Reprise' version and yes, I fell in love with it then.

Uematsu did just about every Final Fantasy soundtrack from II through to XI, as well as working on the soundtrack for Chrono Trigger.
I would list my favourites of his...but to be honest, just choosing a couple is very hard, One Winged Angel and Dancing Mad are very epic though.

When you mention original soundtracks, I think of titles where the music was used to maximum effectiveness ingame. In that regard, I would hold Myst to be an excellent example. Yes, it is synthesized and dated, but it was very atmospheric.

Would say

Shogun Total War has a great OST: (this has to be one of my favorite)

and Lords of the Realms II also had great music for it's time, the music kept me in the mood:

@ Takeda : Thanks !
I don't care if the game's outdated : I'm looking for soundtracks never to be forgotten.

Have to go with this. Especially anything from Chrono Trigger, think it was my first Square game I played back as a kid and was hooked immediately.

This. Frank Klepacki does some awesome work, outside of the C&C series as well.

A tie between Hearts of Iron II and Over Flanders Fields.

Hearts of Iron II:

Not a snowboard game but the space rts 'Homeworld' sound track is awesome. I still listen to it.

Agiel7 · 09-07-10, 12:58 AM

The Homeworld games.

The stuff from Suda51's games go into ear-worm territory too.

The music from X3: Reunion is nice.
