   Yellow Topic 4: How important is audio in a video game?
  I was just listening to Albedo's theme song from Xenosaga and just by listening to that instrumental you could tell that these guys worked hard on music. The name of the composer of most of the Xenosaga(or all nto sure) songs is Yasunori Mitsuda. One of the best music composers for video games.Anyways what is your favorite video game *OST?* - Original Soundtrack   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh."[edited by - Lingmac9 on March 21, 2004 8:12:58 PM]
  Mine would have to be the Final Fantasy X OST by Nobuo Uematsu. ;  Gah. I don''t think there''s any single game soundtrack I could raise up above others; there are so many great ones out there. Myst 3, Deus Ex, Rayman 2, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango... ;  I'm also into classical Japanese music. I like "Huno No Tsuni" from the Outlaw Star OST. I also like Naruto. One of the great anime soundtracks.As for video games I like some of the games by RARE and their soundtracks. The Donkey Kong series especially.-----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh."

Listening to such beautiful music is one of the many reasons why I watch the show. I might purchase the game also who knows.   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh." ;  I really like a lot of the music from the Final Fantasy series.  The battle theme from IX is great, and I love Auron''s Theme in X.By far though, my favorite game soundtrack is from the Zelda series.  The music in those games is always great.  So anyway, I do think the music in a game is important, bad music can really ruin a game, and good music can make a good game just that much better. ;  Vice city ;  IMO, the music is an incredibly important part of gameplay. It sets the mood and atmosphere for a scene. It can even influence the player''s behavior, and music that reacts to game events provides aural feedback which further adds to gameplay (DirectMusic is fantastic at this). ;  I always liked the music in ''The Dig'' by LucasArts (an old one). HALO''s music is great, too. ;  Unreal had some good music
