Castlevania.

Never have I played a game in this series without it containing at least above-average music. So many catchy themes.

I bought the special edition of Portrait Of Ruin just so I could get the CD that came with it. :cheeky:

Symphony of the night has the best music out of all of em.

Tentatively agree, though SotN would've better without the inverted castle. Fuck that cheap shit.

I thought it was a pretty original idea at the time. Awesome game either way. Even if the voice acting was meh (in the original ps1 and saturn versions).

Video game music? Oh, that's a cinch.

Since we're not talking about the 'best game music EVAH%#&%@!!!!!', I'm not gonna go all 'I WILL BROOK NO DISSENSION' on ya asses.

CHRONO FRICKIN' CROSS

Really, Chrono Cross smacks everything out of the ball park. That was video game music, mein freunds!

Seriously sublime shit. Everything else is just white noise, really. :D

Actually, I'll go on record to say that the Silent Hill series, Beyond Good & Evil, Mechwarrior 2, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Chrono Trigger (heh heh), and for the sake of appearing like I have some mainstream taste, Vice City, all had some pretty damn amazing soundtracks.

7th Guest had some excellent music in it also. The Warcraft 2 expansion music was pretty awesome as well.

What, no Mario?
Mario Galaxy's soundtrack was fandabeedozee.

Oh, and The Last Ninja has the best music ever.

Edit:
And indy shooter Jets N Guns has a kickass soundtrack that combines modern metal with SIDS chip tunes.
The JnG soundtrack can be downloaded for free (http://www.machinaesupremacy.com/jng-1.php) here.

CHRONO FRICKIN' CROSS

Depends on how you look at it.

Soundtrack-wise, yeah, it's damn good music.
Game-wise, CC has worst soundtrack I've ever heard. Simple: As in any jRPG you will spend most of the game fighting with random encounters, and it just so happens that CC's battle track(There's only one) is an equivalent of being raped in the ears by sandpaper-wrapped shitting dicknipples.

Similiar thing happened with Baldur's Gate. The ambient tracks are amazingly stylish, but then you enter combat and DUUM DUMM BOOM POOOM POOM DUUUMM HUUUUM HOOOOM

Eh, I'm talking about the soundtrack.

If you're talking about the music from the perspective of the game experience overall, holistically, and in toto, then while Gale may not be the best battle track ever (aural rape from sandpaper-covered shitting dildos notwithstanding, whatever that means anyway), you eventually tune it out like any over-used battle track in a jRPG.

And anyway, it's more than made up for by the rest of the music.

As to whether you hated the game just because of one track, that's your personal beef, bucko. And your shit-tinted glasses at work. :p

Also, need I mention the stupendously brilliant boss battle themes? It's not like all the action music in the game sucked. I mean, come on, really.
