Halo. The music in that game is iconic and I believe elevated the game to a different level.

Amen. Halo's soundtrack....EPIC.

The two N64 Zelda games had amazing music. This is my favorite of the bunch, from Majora's Mask, which I think went well above and beyond for creating a game with atmospheric and exciting music:

It's subtle...rhythmic, and has a beautiful harmony thrown in there.

This is a no-brainer too.

Man I love that game. ^^^

I know I'm getting rambley here with my 3rd post in a row, but I just want to say Halo has some of the best "acoustics" in a game. When you play Halo's multiplayer...the sound is phenomenal, and it really sounds like you are in an open environment. The echoes and explosions sound absolutely stunning. I have no idea how the game designers tweak the sounds to work that way, but a lot of games have "sound" but Halo has "sound in an environment." Totally fucking awesome underrated part of the Halo experience that no one really talks about.

I'm just gonna cheat and say Smash Bros Brawl.

PRobably based on sheer quantity alone of iconic music from all major Nintendo franchises, not to mention from MGS, Sonic and Tetris.

But if wanted to be fair, either Halo (love the main theme) or Uncharted (once heard the song from across a Best Buy and knew someone was playing the game

)
