Personally escape the city is my favorite sonic song, but it definitely has good pacing to it.
Here's a classic, just wait til it gets into it. If you ever played this astounding game as a kid, you'll remember this.

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

8/10

That brings back fond memories of Chrono Trigger. Loved that game, makes me want to go back and play it.

This isn't exactly the original song, but I found someone who made an intense remix of the Gym Battle music in Pokemon. Felt like sharing it.

9/10.

I love the original gym battle theme, and this was a nice remix of it. I do enjoy how the song is much faster than the original, it makes for a more heart-pounding song because of it. I just feel that something is still missing though.

Atelier Escha & Logy - Fulcrum

Ohh, I like the style of that! It reminds me of a Mana Khemia track - a battle theem! But nonetheless, this is great! 9/10

Bare It's Fangs - Tales of Destiny

I like Bare It's Fangs, but I prefer Progresses Toward the End.

Knights in the Nightmare (PSP) - Clash with the Dark King Zolgonark

 

[El Héroe Oscuro]

10/10!

Seriously though, that song is really catchy. Epic, fast-paced, makes me actually want to look into this game now considering I have a PSP and never really use it. It's very Final Fantasy-esque in my opinion.

How about a classic, eh?

 

[Nah]

Heh, I sorta kinda remember that. Also reminds me how much I sucked at driving Warthogs. I think it got to the point where I had crashed my Warthog or something and had to hop in the back of my friend's Warthog and have him drive us both outta there. I'm still not very good at driving those things, but at least I drive the Scorpion tank pretty well...I think. Maybe I'll do the tank mission in Reach tomorrow and see if I still got it.

8/10

What to have you listen to next...how 'bout this:
Soul Nomad and the World Eaters: Speed Queen

 

[Scandalice]

Sounds pretty good, I don't think I've heard music like it in a game before. But something about it sounds strange to me, not sure why.

How about this, a battle theme I quite like:

[Spinosaurus]

I'd love to rate the above, but alas the video is not working.

Here's DK. Again.

 

[derozio]

A very upbeat and energetic piece. And sounds wonderful. Not something I actually thought it would. Parts with the flute playing would be my fave. A really nice soundtrack.


here's one of my fave boss battle theme of all time. Combination of fast, energetic music and calm, soothing voices in the bg make it great in my eyes. Listen till 3:40ish. Then it repeats.

 

[Arc]

9/10.

I actually really like this theme. The first time I heard this while playing DMC3, I actually thought it would pick up to something really fast and hyped up. But it always had a calm yet energetic feeling, traits that really fits with Vergil.

Final Promise Story - Faster than the Wind

 

[PMG]

9/10
That was really good. Real energetic and heroic sounding.

Here's some more DK music.
Yeah see now it's a different DK game.

 

[derozio]

8/10
It actually sounds like something I'd find in a pokemon game to a degree lol. Didn't think it would have eerie/mysterious sounding section and would be the same medium-fast paced tune for all of its run but I was wrong and pleasantly surprised haha. I liked it.


I don't like DMC4 as much as DMC3 but this theme is one of my faves i the series.

 

[Kung Fu Ferret]

6/10. Reminds me of some other game, I can't wrap my finger around which one though.

Here's on from KHDDD that I really like.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I liked it at first, but after a couple of more listens, and after comparisons with what I'm assuming it's trying to imitate (Mario Galaxy), it's really generic. It just doesn't take any risks and feels overall safe and familiar.

You're probably sick of DK but seriously it's all I'm listening to right now so bear with me. It's a good thing the OST is so diverse and varied, right?
I think this one would be stronger if you know what the level looks like. Context is key

 

[Kung Fu Ferret]

7.2/10

I found it relaxing...

Another one from KHDDD that is super peppy.
"Prankster's Party"

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

I give it a 7.5/10
It is somewhat ok.

The Fleets Arrive from Mass Effect 3

 

[Arc]

9/10.

The heroic suspense! The song starts up slow, but quickly builds up for a very encouraging song, that gives hope.

Warriors Orochi 3 - Optic Zone

 

[Nah]

Y'all know I'm a sucker for battles themes. It sounds kinda like something else I've heard, I think. Probably just imagining things again. 8.5/10

Bravely Default: Love's Vagrant

 

[Arc]

10/10.

I love Love's Vagrant. Hands down, my favourite character theme in the game. That beautiful accordion <3

Atelier Totori - Red Zone

Y'all know I'm a sucker for battles themes.

Funny thing, it's not a battle theme LOL. It's actually a character select theme.
