I mean honestly how does Kojima find all this talent? Every single game has won multiple awards even for the soundtrack. Just listen to MGS: Peace Walker's Main Theme, it's unbelievably beautiful. :cry:

Also shows Snake fearlessly taking on a Tigrex. Most B.A. hero ever.

Obviously "best" is subjective, but it's not a point I would dispute. There is definitely a case to be made for MGS music. The music in 4 was amazing, and it included lots of music from the previous games. I loved it.

Hmm if we're counting licensed soundtracks, then the GTA games are pretty much the best in gaming. Vice City, San Andreas, IV, even EFLC and both PSP GTA games had amazing music. Vice City is the best of the bunch though. Anyway for actual composed score I still think MGS makes a strong argument for the best of the best.

MGS has EPIC music,just like Halo and FF and some other games its just that R* nails the settings,the music is great and when you play it you feel like you are in the 80s(regardless VC).

Halo ODST has a stellar soundtrack. But I concur with the OP, MGS4 has a great OST.

Nope, not just you, a lot of people who've played the game think so too.
These are some I can think of on top off my head which people need to hear let alone play em.

Zone of the Enders 2
Asssasins Creed 2
Shadow of the Collossus
FF7 crisiscore
Mirrors Edge

Halo3
Ace Combat 4
Onimusha
Devil May Cry 3

and some old retro but amazing songs

UN squadron
Supermario world
Pocky and rocky 2

And finally Donky Kong Country.. I think I may cry now.

But the best game with the best soundtracks that doesnt get recognised is Shenmue.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM, COS I WENT THROUGH SOME EFFORT TO GET THEM FOR YOUR PLEASURE :)

Nope

Rayman 2 The Great Escape (Dreamcast version)

Henry Hatsworth

Donkey Kong Country 2

Shadow of the Collosus

Kirby Squeak Squad

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier

Banjo Kazooie

Halo

Half Life

Final Fantasy IV

Those are the top 10. Not necessarily in that order, EXCEPT for Rayman 2 which does indeed have the best OST of all time.

All other music is obsolete

Halo ODST has a stellar soundtrack. But I concur with the OP, MGS4 has a great OST.

ODST's is very emotional/sad. it's quite impressive that music in a video can make someone feel that way.

In my opinion, Shadow of The Colossus, Super Mario Galaxy, The Wind Waker and Okami deserve a nod, too, and a lot of Hans Zimmer stuff as well, but yes, MGS has bloody good music.

I wish OSTs got proper releases more often.

Halo's music is amazing. Especially ODST's. It was a huge departure from the series norm. However, I humbly nominate the Guilty Gear franchise. There are other great songs, but that sums up the music of the series pretty well, imo.

Better music. From a mod.


The music quoted in the OP is horrible. BTW, I've played every single canonical game in the series. I've spent hours poring over the in-game encyclopedia and collecting iPod tracks of the very same OST tracks you're talking about. I've beaten Portable Ops TWICE, for god's sakes, and I've beaten both of the original MSX games (Metal Gear 1 and 2).

But I can honestly say that only a few songs I've ever heard throughout the Metal Gear series that caught my attention are as follows:

This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3iWfXHwJTo

(MGS1)

And this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_j5UafFl5g

(MGS4)

Quake disagrees with you all.

JONO51

Yes!

I am not even a huge fan of NIN, but this has to be one of the most memorable soundtracks in video games. It really complimented the gameplay, creatingthe perfectatmosphere.

MGS is good stuff, too. However, I prefer Amon Tobin and Jesper Kyd'smusic.

No LoZ: OOT has the best music. For me it's more than just the quality of the music and Dolby Digital. I'd take the Lost Woods song over a surround sound orchestrated piece any day.

I agree.

In my opinion, any Rareware game takes the best music.

o yea.

Banjo Tooie is fantastic, the temple boss has counterpoint in it. Perfect.

i never listened to viva pinata or Kameo, but Nuts and Bolts is absolutely intoxicating. Best Ive Ever heard.

Halo's heavy emphasis on percussion reminds me the most of Bear McCreary's work on BSG. After listening to all the seasons soundtracks, I can't stand the soaring anthems of FF and MGS and all that stuff.
