Games you think have perfect soundtracks. - Post 'em, boys and girls.

Looked a couple pages back and didn't see anything related to my topic.

Post game soundtracks you think are perfect either in the sense that every track is gold, or that the music completely encompasses the feel of the game. Tell us your favorite track from the game as well.

I have a bunch, but for the sake of conversation I will only share one initially!

Perfect soundtrack for a Perfect(Dark) Game. My favorite track is either Carrington Institute or Chicago Stealth, although Datadyne Central Extraction is the best track to put on multiplayer, mainly due to the way the start of the song perfectly synced with the spinning camera to start the match.

Friendly reminder, anyone who says SM64 is prob a tranny.

But ngl, Super Mario Kart, and MK Wii do have great ones. I don't play many games now, but those make for great drinking games.

Duke Nukem 3D, Team Fortress 2, and GTA Vice City are three that immediately come to mind.

I always loved Bioshock and Bioshock 2. Not just because I really like music from that era but because of how some of it was used.

That part in Fort Frolic with the Waltz of the Flowers was something else. For whatever reason it made me think of what Rapture was like before it all went to hell and made killing those splicers an act of mercy.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

Pure techno at its finest

And yes, both versions have different songs in the later tracks.

Arcanum has a quite unique (for videogames) and enjoyable string instrument soundtrack, nice to listen to in the background while working.

Throwback game, the devs knew the soundtrack was so good they credited the creator on the opening menu.

Simpsons Hit and Run for sure:

context: dancing man with an afro has 5 of the same pokeymans (ludicolo) and one sudoowodoo and he spams HP heals and raindance to keep healing his squad and you get sucked out of your HP, wasnt a fun boss fight at all but goddamn the track slaps.

Talking about entire soundtracks, that means I can vouch for at least 90% of the included music being hits
This is an incredible feat to accomplish for any creative work

- Midnight Club II
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers (of Sky in particular)
- Spiral Knights
- World Of Goo
- Every game in the Zero Escape trilogy

Live-A-Live remake is pretty good.

 

[Cat tit bingo]

Great music for hurting people. Its legally required you wear headphones, except maybe the part where you shot the bomb that blows out your eardrums.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

A lot of the Mega Man games

 

[Gravemind]

MAHVEL 2 also has a really good soundtrack.

Payday 1 and 2 had great grungy rock and EDM that got you in the mood. While 2 had some silly joke tracks for the holiday events, PD1 had consistently good grungy stuff.
Streets of Rogue and Vall-Halla also have really fitting catchy upbeat and mellow songs that get you in the mood.
I wonder if music tracks sound and feel as good as they usually do because we like the associated games and tie positive memories to them more than we enjoy the music.
