pick yours & what were the best songs in those game soundtracks in your opinion?
Heavy Metal Geomatrix has Megadeth's Moto Psycho in it. Great song.
The Star Wars games.
Jet Grind, Jet Set Future.
Rock n Roll Racing.
For sheer cheese, you can't beat Cyberworld.Quote:

I think that pop-(anything)-music stuffed into a game is bad.
Bad bad bad bad. Bad.
It tells me that the game was created, from the start, with a specific buyer in mind. They made every aspect to cater to the person who they thought liked the music that they planned to load the game full of.
OR at some point in development the developers decided that it was necessary for the game to be popular/profitable to include some hear and forget rubbish with the soundtrack.
Though I though putting "Kickstart My Heart" into GT3 was fucking awesome. I almost shit my pants when I heard it over the hum of my 95 Del Sol. :D

My vote would definate go to JGR and WipeoutXL.
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker :cool:
Not really licensed, but done by a musician: Quake II. Does that count?
why does everyone keep saying JetSet? the licensed music in the game sucked ass. well, the bis song in JSRF was good, but that's it.
i say GTA3 is the best just for the soundtrack that's being played on Flashback.
whenever me or any of my friends play GTA3, the only rule we have is that the only radio station that can be on is Flashback.
as long as you're listening to the music that's on flashback, you can't lose at whatever you're doing, and im not just talking about GTA3.
Hey! mine too! That FSOL song on WipeOut XL is reason enough to buy the game.Quote:

TOOOOOOOOOO Get back to the post...
I'll go with-
Wipeout XL
IIDX 5th Style
IIDX 6th Style
DDR Max 2
Tony Hawk 2
Shadow Hearts soundtrack is very good. I need to get it one of these days.
What musician did Quake II's soundtrack? I know Trent Reznor did the original Quake's ST but he didn't do II's...Quote:

My vote goes for Wipeout XL, Jet Set Radio and the original Descent.
Sonic Mayhem did the soundtrack for Quake II and Quake III. Descent Into Cerberon from Q2 is one damn good song. Anthem of the Q2 player.
Also, you all do know that more than half of the JSR songs are original, leaving a small amount liscensed. Oh, and exactly half of JSRF's songs are original. Hideki Naganuma and Toronto are parts of Sega's Wavemaster, you know.
That said, I like Crazy Taxi's soundtrack. CT2's is absolute crap.
Rock N Roll Racing is the easily the best. None of that newfangled music of today just some classic, "rock out with your cock out" tunes from the likes of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc. :cool:
Every other game falling into this category has a terrible soundtrack IMO. How many games do we really need that support crappy bands like Sum 41 and Sublime? I swear every freaking extreme game that Ive played (sans the THPS series) has at least one Sublime song on it......Dave Mirra, Dave Mirra 2, X-Games Skateboarding (terrible game BTW), Chris Edwards Aggressive Inline, etc.

JSRF, Samba De Amigo, Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania...
The Bond games tend to have really good remixes of the theme music, I really enjoyed smoe of the stuff from the Tomorrow Never Dies game.
N2O was awesome, even though it was basically their Vegas album.
I didn't know Rock N Roll Racing had music from Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.
Insta-purchase!
By the way what songs are in it?

And one that's just a bit off-topic (it is not licensed, but it sounds familiar):
KOF'94- "Jungle Bouncer" (Ikari Warriors stage theme) This one has got to be inspired by Faith No More's "Surprise, You're Dead".
