What game do you think has the best soundtrack?


I love soundtracks in video games, they give it the mood, atmosphere and can help immerse the player in the world. To me the best soundtracks are the ones you don't notice because the fit in so well with the game and story. It is games like Halo that have such great composers like Martin O'Donnell creating such amazing music for their games. Just think back to the first time you played Halo, you booted up the game and there at the menu was some of the most amazing music in video game history. The Mass Effect trilogy has also had some amazing scores because of the amazing composers behind them including Hans Zimmer and Sam Hulick. This also explains why the Call of Duty games have such great music. Games like Battlefield 3, Bad Company and even the likes of Just Cause 2 also have amazing soundtracks that add to the atmosphere of the games. I have also always liked the soundtracks of Nintendo games from Super Smash Bros to Metroid Prime through to the likes of The Legend of Zelda and even Super Mario itself. Rayman has also had such a great soundtrack with the latest entry, Origins even changing the soundtrack when you activate certain powers in the game. But the winner for me has to be the new Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The games has such a great soundtrack with the combination of Daft Punk, 80's Synth Music and arcade style scores all transitioned into one amazing sounding composition that fit the Cyberpunk genre perfectly.

My personal vote goes to: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
