Probably Vagrant Story. There's really nothing quite like it in any other game. Check some of these out:


Vagrant Story (DISC 2) / 24 - Truth - YouTube


Vagrant Story (DISC 2) / 09 - Iron Crab - YouTube


Vagrant Story OST (DISC 1) / 16 - Wyvern - YouTube

Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy XII come close, but for me there is just something special about the Vagrant Story soundtrack. Like some kind of extra special effort was put into it.

IMO, one thing the Sonic franchise has never failed on was the music.

Especially Sonic Heroes and Sonic Battle.

It's probably Castlevania for me too.

Listen to this AWESOME medley that pays a respectful tribute to the series.

I love Elder Scrolls music - Jeremy Soule is a great composer for the genre. The Morrowind theme gets me a little misty-eyed every time - so epic and beautiful. I do think Morrowind is the best of the three for music, but I like them all.

Damn. I'm playing Skyrim and now I feel like I need to go back and play Morrowind and Oblivion again!

World of Warcraft does have some very good music as well. I haven't played it in a year and a half and to be honest, I miss the music in the various zones the most. "Grizzly Hills" is probably my favorite.

I only played wow for a short time when it first came out, but the music from the elf area was fantastic, and I still like it to this day:

Yes, he does some great stuff. I liked the music from Skyrim so much I bought the multi disc OST from him. Great stuff.

Default Otogi: Myth of Demons

There's this very obscure Xbox game called Otogi: Myth of Demons that has a hauntingly beautiful opening score. What a shame that it's less than a minute long.

I automatically disqualify any GTA game because it's not original video game music.

Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesis.
Ocarina of Time for the N64
Mario Tennis Gameboy versions
The first three Sonic games.
Yugioh Falsebound Kingdom/Duelist of the Roses.
Main Series Pokemon games outside of generation III.

Default The Way You Move

Killer Instinct developed by Rare and distributed by Nintendo and Midway had some pretty snappy dance style music.

i don't consider vice city gta to be video game music. it is actual music put into a video game. video game music to me is bleep and bloop sounds. with that said, i can't find something better than mega man 2. other games are great like sonic 2, blaster master (nes), street fighter 2 (arcade), the list goes on.
