Yup, its another best thing in games thread!!!  

So what game does in your opinion have the best music ever.
I'd have to say, its a tie between Emperor -  Battle for Dune and No One Lives Forever (which is one of the best games of all time, anyhow.)

here's a track from E:BFD
Ride the Worm

[Unknown Target]

E:BFD was basically just C&C in 3D, but, yea, it had good music.
My favorites were probably Re-Volt and FS2.

[Stunaep]

umm... whats re-volt? Never heard of it.

[NeoHunter]

I would have to say that the music from COmmand & Conquer series are the best so far. The music are like heavy metal to techno. They seem to bring excitement and action to the games.

Don't ask me why but most people tend to associate heavy metal and rock and techno music with the army. Even here in Singapore.

[Redfang]

Well, FS2 has pretty good music, and so does Doom/Doom 2, and some Tiberian Sun musics are pretty good, too. It's a hard decision, and not to forget the Star Wars musics in JKII.

[NeoHunter]

Oh yeah. I forgot one other game music. Imperial March music that comes on whenever an Imperial strike force of maybe an Imperial-class Star Destroyer pops out of hyperspace in X-Wing Alliance. Wgenever I hear that music being played, I start to go like "Oh no, here we go again".

[Unknown Target]

Re-Volt=Funny racing game, awesome music

[Razor]

OK since we are talking about music, where can I find some good ambiental music taht would fit well in Freespace 2. Which authors are good? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

[Stargazer_2098]

The best music? Here`s a little list:

1: Outcast (the best gaming music. ever. period. Why has no one mentioned this earlier?)

2: Homeworld (Again great music, my favuorite: Adaigo for Strings)

3: Freespace 2 (might sound strange, but really, the music wasnt bad. It sure set the right atmosphere).


There is more, but these 3 are my favourites.


Stargazer.

[Crazy_Ivan80]

Than you'll be sad to hear that Outcast 2 may be canned.

The music from JKII is the music from the original trilogy... but its use is awesome.

FS music is great too

Deus Ex has several good themes also

And the debriefing (Crayven side) of Ground Control simply rocks...

[Gortef]

err...


No One Lives Forever
FreeSpace2
Deus Ex
Final Fantasy 7/6/8
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Red Alert 2
American McGee's Alice


for example

[Thorn]

Metal Vengance from Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries

[NeoHunter]

Actually, I think the best music so far is Act On Instinct from the very first Command & Conquer.

You can actually find the MP3 on AudioGalaxy.

[Stryke 9]

Mmm...

Most of the game music I hear sucks. I'd have to say, then, that it's a tie between Syndicate on hi-fi (just because I like it, not because it's particularly good), FreeSpace, if you don't listen to it ingame (you don't hear it too well, and it's a lot better out of the game than in), and TMP (Bwaat da waah waah waah wah-wah-wah wah, WAH WAAAH whom! )

Homeworld I just got, so I can't say much abouyt it until I install it.

[wEvil]

Unreal the origional had the best music

[Ryx]

Let's see.

Any star wars game with Williams score.
Outcast
Full Throttle (There's a sequel in the works )
Sacrifice wasn't all that bad.
Wing commander, well in the cinematics anyway.
AvP 2 iirc
NOLF

That's all I can think of now.

SOF II's music isn't all that bad either.

[CP5670]

Most of my favorites appear in the following:

Deus Ex
Freespace
Freespace 2
Unreal

I also like some others, such a few of the "action" samples from Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the Ground Control briefings, track 7 on the Descent 2 Vertigo CD, and a couple others.

To tell the truth, the only reason I like the concept of music in the first place is because of these great game soundtracks; I'm not into popular music at all.

And the debriefing (Crayven side) of Ground Control simply rocks...

I don't think I have heard the debriefing one, but both the Crayven and the Order briefing musics are fantastic in my opinion. In fact, I put a section of the Order one into my FS2 campaign as a briefing music.

Actually, I think the best music so far is Act On Instinct from the very first Command & Conquer.

I remember that one; it was pretty nice too. My favorite in that game was "In the Line of Fire."

[Pera]

Total Annihilation music simply rules! Perhaps I should exctact one track from the CD and upload it, it's simply too great to miss.

MOHAA had good music too.
