    Like Shanghai Alice said, World Revolution. ESPECIALLY when you're going against Lavos itself. It is the BEST Boss theme I have ever heard. No exceptions.

    Though Beat the Angel from Tales of Symphonia is cool, too. I mean, it's my favorite battle theme from the game.

    Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbrush Symphony
    Perfect Dark - Alien Conflict
    Ocarina of Time - Gerudo Valley
    Mario Kart 64 - Rainbow Road
    Street Fighter II - Vega's theme
    Final Fantasy II (IV) - Boss theme
    Chrono Trigger - Corridoors of Time

    I LOVE NieR. Its the best game Square Enix has come out with this year - perhaps the only good one actually, all things considered. The soundtrack to this game is without peer. Almost every track utilises vocals in some way, and I am a complete sucker for dramatic vocals. Cold Steel Coffin in particular is one of my favourites - it gives off such an ominous feeling, and this is just for a village. Song of Ancients - Hollow Dreams is another one of my favourites; after hearing Popola and Devola sing separately, it was awesome to hear them in a duet, and Ashes of Dreams is perhaps the only video game song that has ever spoke to me emotionally. Despite this constant use of vocals, which are usually saved exclusively for boss battles in games, it STILL manages to retain that sense of drama that comes with a vocal track - The Dark Colossus Destroys All is very atmospheric when you're going toe-to-toe with a giant Shade.

    Its a shame this game didn't get very much attention, because it easily has the best soundtrack of any game ever, in my opinion~
    I do have other favourites, but...maybe I'll devote a post to them later or edit them in this one once I sift through them all. NieR takes the crown overall, though.
     

    Luck

    Oh my god I'm not the only one who played NieR. I love you.

    Another games that has spectacular music is the Final Fantasy series(VI, VII, and Tactics in particular), Demon's Souls, Lost Odyssey, and Killzone 2. Yes, Killzone 2. It is a gray and brown FPS but it does have a fantastic soundtrack.

    Can I just say everything from Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2? XD

    If I had to choose a couple, then they would have to be "Hurry Up!", "Melty Molten Galaxy", "Buoy Base" and the Purple Coins theme. But really, I have too many favorites.

    Other video game soundracks I like:
    Rhythm Heaven
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl
    Mario Kart Wii
    Wario Land Shake It
    Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

    I tend to make playlists out of video game music, haha. Most of my favorite music for games is in Mother 3, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, and Kingdom Hearts II. Mother 3's soundtrack is probably my favorite out of that little group. I'd normally list more, but I just can't think.

    Video game music?

    The two games that come to mind are the soundtracks to Halo (Particularly Reach), and StarCraft.

    StarCraft II's soundtrack was amazing. Hearing the main title music almost brought tears to my eyes, simply because StarCraft hadn't been touched in years. And hearing the music I loved, arranged that well in orchestral music was awesome.

    I prefer Reach's soundtrack to any other Halo soundtrack mostly because as much as I enjoy hearing the Halo Theme, once you play it every third or fourth track, it grows on you. And Reach's soundtrack, in it's minor sounds and newer themed pieces, just made me love the soundtrack that much more.

    I also enjoy the Pokemon music, but mostly orchestral opposed to the bit sounds.

    I adore a lot of video game soundtracks, but if I had to pick out a single favorite piece of video game music, I'd probably have to go for Into the Darkness from Final Fantasy IV. It's just beautiful....
