GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ What's Your Favorite Piece Of Music From Any Video Game?

Posted by: Wyvernx Sep 8 2007, 02:22 PM

For me there are really only two songs or tracks or whatever you want to call it.
Both are really awesome but I really can't pick one
1. Tragic Prince (a.k.a Clock Tower) from Castlevania Symphony of the Night
2. Wily Stage 1 from Megaman II both the original game version and the cover version by The Minibosses.
Here's a link for the first the original version of the song and some gameplay footage, this is possibly my favorite PS1 game

Final Fantasy has some amazing music. I think "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X is one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever written...

Shadow of the Beast 2 Music on the Commodor Amiga - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGf5xpaRIx8

The Metal Gear Solid main theme, it's variants and Thalamusik from the MSX game Sanxion are amongst my favorites, altough I like a lot of other video game tunes as well.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 8 2007, 06:20 PM

I like music from prince Of Persia: Warrior Within - especially the main piano theme and also all of the music from Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.

Medal OF Honor and Call OF Duty also has some great music.

Man im showing my age chooseing an Amiga game laugh.gif

Posted by: Fsgdjv Sep 8 2007, 06:33 PM

I'm not sure if these are my favourites, but the two that I come to think of is:

This song from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: (If you haven't played twilight princess and don't want any spoilers at all, don't watch the video. It's not a major spoiler, but the title of the song might spoil something, so.. You have been warned!)
EDIT: And don't watch the comments if you haven't played it, since there are idiots spoiling the whole game there.

And, of course, the hyrule field theme from OOT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfjVgwC3s8E

But I have to add aswell that I agree with pavel on the fact that Oblivion has great music!

All the pieces of the game "shadow of the colossus"...so beautiful *cryes* biggrin.gif and of course the theme *to zanarkand* of Final Fantasy 10 biggrin.gif

Posted by: Pavel Sep 8 2007, 06:42 PM

I totally agree!
And I remeber that in some levels (I think it was somewhere in the beginning), some kind of metal song played... But I don't know what's the name of it, or what band it was.
Do you know it?

The music from oblivion and morrowind is great. Has a very mysterious and kind of lonely feel to it, or else very epic.

Also the monkey island music is incredible.

Posted by: Robin Sep 8 2007, 11:51 PM

I really like some of the music from World of Warcraft. For instance the music in Ragnaros' lair, oh damn how I love it.

Actually I like some of the music in Starcraft aswell biggrin.gif

That's true, I totally forgot that. And the music in dun morogh is wonderful aswell. But I can't say that I really remember the music in ragnaro's lair, or any of the music in any raid instance, I always had the sound turned off in raids, kinda regret that now laugh.gif

I only turned on the music when we got to Ragnaros biggrin.gif Becuase of the exciting music. The music made it all a thousand times better. I think its the same music in Nefarian's lair aswell. My favorite boss. So fun being a healer at Nefarian.

What class were you? I loved nefarian aswell, everytime it was mage classcall I had extra time to get some food biggrin.gif And, on topic, I think that the music in Ahn'Quiraj owned, or was it only the screams from C'thun that were so cool that I forgot about the music? blink.gif

I was druid. Restoration of course. Also warlock and warrior, but in my PVE days I was druid.

I dont think I even heard any of the music in AQ. Cant remember it atleast.

Posted by: Pavel Sep 9 2007, 01:34 AM

Right, music in Warcraft 3 is also great, at least some of the themes.

Posted by: Ayen Sep 9 2007, 03:52 AM

For me:

Everything from Shadow of the Colossus
To Zanarkand - Final Fantasy X
Song of Prayer ~ Anima - Final Fantasy X
Aeris's Theme song - Final Fantasy 7
And FF7's Battle and Boss Fights
