I was poking through YouTube last night, watching the MechWarrior 5 trailer again as well as the old MechWarrior 2 cutscenes, when I went into geek overload. I ended up importing the MechWarrior 2 music tracks from the game disc into my iPod. The music from that game never fails to get my adrenaline pumping. I think it is one of the best musical scores for a game. Very futuristic but primal at the same time.

What games do you think had really good music that contributed to the overall ambiance and enhanced the gaming experience? Besides MechWarrior 2, my other favorites are:

Fallout 3 - the 1940's and 1950's cheery music was a great counterpoint to the bleak post-apacolyptic wasteland

All GTA games, but especially GTA: San Andreas - that game turned me into a diehard fan of both Dr. Dre and George Strait

Jedi Knight - wielding a lightsabre with the Star Wars theme music blaring in the background was epic. The soundtrack was cut perfectly, with the Vader's theme and Luke's theme coming in just at the right moments in the game.

I second Fallout 3 Also I really enjoyed the music from the Final fantasy games (possibly 7,8,9 and 10 being my favourites) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Orcarina of Time had good scores as well, especially the boss battle music. Other Games that are worthy of mentioning, Baiten Kaitos on the Nintendo Gamecube, this was great as you could unlock the soundtrack as you played the game. I realise that only one of these is actually on the Xbox but they are still all worth mentioning ( I put this up to stop people saying I was posting in the wrong board/forum)

Fallout 3 is great, and Brutal Legend has a great soundtrack.

I thought bringing in Hans Zimmer to do the MW2 soundtrack was pretty sweet. I've always been a fan of his film scores, and he definitely did not disappoint with MW2. Some of the scenes where you're running around the capital and watching DC crumble before your eyes was really intense, and with some epic Zimmer to accompany that was icing on the cake.

The old school Unreal Tournament had the best game music imo.

Although for the xbox 360 i gotta say Street Fighter 4 although the theme music was one of the baddest i ever heard in a game.

Hans Zimmer in MW2, loved his Dark Knight stuff, umm, Bioshock, because I love big band and swing and made Rapture all the more believable.

The music from the Halo series is my all-time favorite game music. Besides that I also enjoyed the music from Battlefield Bad Company (loved the theme song), and the score from Batman Arkham Asylum.

Brutal Legend has the greatest soundtrack of all time, imo. As for original soundtracks, I love the music for The Darkness.

I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy 8 again and must say that it has some really amazing soundtrack. Some of the compositions are just so beautiful...

Haha yes Brütal Legends soundtrack was epic. I used to just lay down the controller and let the music play while doing something else.
