Shenmue - Soundtrack perfectly suits the gameplay
Panzer Dragoon Saga - Some quite strange music that also suits the game perfectly
Thrasher: Skate and Destroy - Excellent Hip-Hop soundtrack , rubbish game though.
Game wanted: Resident Evil for PlayStation 2
My favourite track has to Zelda: Ocarina of time. A strange choice you may think, yet it is so obvious. Zelda doesn't have the musical merit of underground acts appearing on it like Tony Hawk games, especially Tony Hawk 2. Yet Zelda's soundtrack delivers all the notions needed from sound in a video game. It delievers mood and atmospheric environments to the gamer via the soundtrack. It's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto defied the conventional musical attributes most RPG's are expected to deliver. Miyamoto addded an orechesterol background with traditional computer gaming sounds like the familiar " ting tong" when successfully opening a locked door. Just adding the cinematic soundtrack was a huge struggle on the cartridge based N64 which had severe sound limitations, in comparison to the CD based PlayStation.
This movie-style soundtrack was later copied by games like "Final Fantasy" series and more recently " Dark Cloud". Ask anyone who has played it and they will still rememeber the Spansh Guitar in Guerudos Valley. The trumpet of Hyrule Field. The ocraina melodies. Even the distinctive Dungeon music.The realism in the sound also conveys the situation more comprehensively to the player e.g. water splashing in lake Hylia or the drawing of the sword in battle. Overall,all I can say is that it is absolutely class. But then I'm not bias!
