Songs That Define Games

[Becky's Butt]

Well many video games have great soundtracks. However for this thread, if you could only pick one song from each game, which would it be?

Example: I have a friend who never played RE2. So he wants to know what the game is all about. I want to find a song from RE2 that captures the feeling of the game and gets him hooked.

My choice? Second Malformation of G

So, how about you all?

[A-J]

Chrono Cross - Scars of Time

full of win.

[Helegad]

RE1: The mansion theme (doo-doo-doooooooooooooooooooo )
RE2: Goodbye Ada (full of emotion, best song on the OST )
RE3: Feel The Tense (Nemesis FTW! )
RE Survivor: Hungry Audience (Techno beat while killing zombies! )
RE CV: The Theme Of Tyrant 3 (excellent track, very good beat )
RE4: They're all shit.

RE4: They're all shit.

Now you're being unfair, the game had some good tracks like the save room theme and Wesker Theme from the Mercenaries.

[Gradon]

Silent Hill: Silent Hill, Not Tomorrow 2.
Silent Hill 2: Theme Of Laura, True, Promise, Waiting For You. (I am aware WFY is on the 4th soundtrack, but it fits SH2 more.)
Silent Hill 3: Hometown, deffinitly.
Silent Hill 4: Cradle Of Forest, Tender Sugar.

Sonic Adventure 2: Live and Learn

[Alexia_Ashford]

CV - Berceuse, The Code is Veronica, and "The Ending of the Beginning".

[Helegad]

Now you're being unfair, the game had some good tracks like the save room theme and Wesker Theme from the Mercenaries.

None of them struck me like they did in RE1, 2, and 3.

And there's barely any music anyway (at least in my version).

RE original - Still Dawn (ending track)
RE CV - End Credits from the original dreamcast version and the code is veronica

[Biohazard EX]

Metal Gear Solid. The whole series was defined by the melody that was consisdent in MGS1, 2 and 3 soundtracks. Unfortunately they had to pull the plug on that theme... Because of legal issues as I understand it...

Now you're being unfair, the game had some good tracks like the save room theme and Wesker Theme from the Mercenaries.

All the music from the Mercenaries was ripped off from a game called P.N. 03. Not even ripped off, just taken the tracks as they were, and pasted them into RE4. Now, PN03 was Mikami's game, so there's no legal issues, but still. The point is that the best music in RE4 wasn't even made FOR RE4.

[Jill Lover]

BioEX is right, music from RE4 Mercenaries was taken from P.N 03... like they took Jill's model to build up Vanessa.

[Mr. Spencer]

RE2 - "Good Bye, Leon..."
RE3 - "The Beginning of Nightmare"
CVX - "Ending of the Beginning"

final fantasy VII aerith theme
Reason: ITs aerith's theme it don't need a reason
Final Fantasy VII: Liberi fatali
Reason: it sets the tone for the gaem
Final FAntasy IX melodies of life
Reason: its such a sad song but at the same time its one of the best
Final fantasy X to zanarkand
reason: its a song that i respond well with. the total opiano opening is better than most piano remakes of FF songs

[Becky's Butt]

If I had to pick the best songs from RE4....

It be either Krauser

Salazar Boss Fight

Though, gotta admit, the songs just aren't as awesome without hearing "RRRAAAAHHH" and the boss fights themselves.
