Games that NEED their music?

I am not necessarily asking which games had the best soundtrack or which games relied on music to make up for boring gameplay.

What I'm refering to are games that you simply cannot imagine without thier sountrack.

Example: I find it almost impossible to seperate OoT from its sountrack.

A couple of personal examples:

Shadow of the Colossus - the music style fit the atmosphere of the game perfectly. I especially liked that rewarding theme that would play when you revleal the colossus' weak spot.

Donkey Kong Country 2

I'dsay F-Zero, and Mario. Tales of Legendia as well the music always comes to mind when I think of the game.

REZ

Max Payne, no piano no sale.

Halo. Well, more specifically, the franchise needs Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. Its soundtrack provides such a unique atmosphere to the games.

Okami, Persona 3 and 4.

Each and every game that has an original soundtrack. I haven't played one game yet where the music doesn't add to the experience, no matter if the soundtrack is good or not.Reptylus

Final fantasy

Shadow of the colossus

God of war

I'd say mario and any rythme game obviously. Mario would just be kind of awkward if all you heard was jumping.

Super Metroid. Wouldn't nearly be the same without it. Halo CE also.

Halo games, Sonic games, and Zelda games, most definitely.

Donkey Kong Country 2

Ikaruga

Rez

Nier

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Portal 2

No More Heroes

God Hand

Katamari Damacy

Ibara

First game that came to mind was Cannon Fodder. The theme song is awesome.

Every Extend Extra Extreme

Mario

Zelda

Banjoo and Kazooi

Final Fantasy

Shadow of the Colossus

Halo

GTA :P

Gears Of War

and etc etc etc... xD

Need for Speed,Dead Space1 or 2, Bioshock

Any music game :P

Any fighting game

GTA

Assassin's Creed

Mario

Final Fantasy

Okami especially stands out as one. Also the Shin Megami Tensei series.

Any Zelda or Mario or Metroid game. They just would not be as good without the music, and would be boring to listen to.

Shadow of the colossus without it's score just wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't feel the same way about it as I do.

Other games like Half life 2, would do perfect without it.

It's like movies. Sure most use them, but every once in awhile there will be one that doesn't. Example No country for old men. It went on to be one of the best of the decade.

Jet Set Radio and Future.

Silent Hill. All of them

Penumbra

NIER. Wouldn't have been the game it was without that wonderful soundtrack.

Patapon!

Jet Set Radio Future, Mario series, pretty much most rpg's and platformers.

Edit: Oh yeah, can't forget Tetris.

Shadow of the Colossus.

Without it's music I probably wouldn't have ended up caring for it as much as I did.
