Ok so i would like to know what you guys think has the best music in a game.....it can be any game right down for the NES to the Modern day.

For me i think Halo 1 has the best, every time music played in that game, it fited perfectly, from escaping from the The pillar of autumn, to finding the flood, then the best part, driving to the pelican in a warthog only to see it being blown up by banshees with a Minute and a half to go, and then cortana saying that theres one fighter left in the docking bay and that you might make it if you move now, and wow the fast powering halo music kicks in straight away with expolsions everywhere and flood and covernment running away. wow i still get adreniline from playing that part.

So anyways guys whats you're favourite music from any game? if we get enough votes i might start a poll.

Halo? That's a joke right? It's so generic.

MGS and I really like Odin Sphere.

Shenmue and Shadow of the Colossus were amazing. I liked the song in FFVII when you face off against Sephiroth too. That game had some good music.

This is an impossible descision to have in a poll. There are tons of games that have stupendous music. My favourites would have to be...

Super Metroid, Shadow of the Colossus, Zone of the Enders, Anubis: Zone of the Enders, Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, StarCraft, Doom, Doom II, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Metroid Prime, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, F-Zero, Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy VI, Metroid: Fusion, The Sims, Timesplitters series and many more...

As VG music listener there's no way a GS poll will do justice.

As well there's just too much great music there so I can't say there's a definite best either.

I prefer Halo 2's score if I'm honest. Both are fantastic though. Zelda's would be good were it not all synth.

Hitman is up there...FlockofSpagheti

hitman deserves to be up there. How could you not love in blood money when at the end you get up during your own funeralwhile that song Ave Maria plays, and waste everyone in the church grounds? Anyway, i like halo, hitman, metroid prime, and umm... lots of games i can't remeber.

I thought the original Metroid Prime had a stunning soundtrack, and I would actually buy that soundtrack, but my favourite game music is Starcraft's. Such an epic, and fitting score, I think it is part of the reason that Starcraft has "that" atmosphere which makes it so brilliant. I'm particularly fond of the Terran score, however the Zerg also have a very cool score.

The Donkey Kong series has also always had very catchy themes (from DK Country onwards) to DK 64, so I'm fond of them.

I just wish games would make use of composers like Klaus Badelt & John Williams for their scores - I think that would really help a lot of games to get the atmosphere some movies have.

Zelda, definitely.  I wish it weren't so good though, cuz my brother keeps spitting out his own versions of Saria's Song and Song of Time and Epona's Song and stuff like that.  Oh well, what can ya do.
