I have a random question so What is everyone's favorite Video Game soundtrack? Of course excluding things like Crossover games and Smash as that's sort of cheating since it takes from a ton of franchises.
My personal Favorite Soundtrack is Mother 3 as it conveys Emotional, Peaceful and Tense feelings very well. My Second would have to be a Mix between Kirby Super Star Ultra and Super Mario RPG for K:SSU has Masked Dedede's theme, Dedede's theme, Meta knight's theme and Gourmet Race while SMRPG has Beware the Forest's mushrooms, Still the road is full of Dangers and Battle against an Armed Opponent.
Too many to count, and all for different reasons. It's easy to narrow down my favorite games because I take into account a variety of factors, but just judging by soundtracks, there's a broader pool to think of, since the game might not be one of your all-time favorites in order for you to love the soundtrack. Especially since soundtracks are so different, so it's hard to find one that has everything you like--unless you pick Super Smash, which is cheating.
I could go into a bunch of choices that probably overlap with many other people--Metroid Prime, Halo, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Mario, Castlevania, etc. etc.--but I'll pick one that most people don't think about.
Call of Duty gets a lot of unfair **** just because it's popular and comes out yearly. Most people overlook its soundtracks, which are pretty consistently excellent and unique. The games from 2008-2012 in particular--World at War, Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops II--all had amazing soundtracks. It'd take me too long to list all the standout tracks for each game, so I'll just pick one for each, even though it's tough:
World at War:
"Final Push"
Modern Warfare 2:
"Onwards"
Black Ops:
"Rooftops"
Modern Warfare 3:
"Manhattan Assault"
Black Ops II:
"Dogfight"
That's not even counting the easter egg songs for the zombies mode in Treyarch's games, made by the incredibly talented Kevin Sherwood, with great songs like
"115",
"Archangel",
"Dead Ended", and
"Drowning". I stopped playing the zombies mode back in 2011 with the end of the first Black Ops, but I'm always eagerly waiting for the next one of Sherwood's songs.
