Not just overall soundtracks, but what's the best musical piece you've ever heard in a videogame?

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Loved the heavy metal.

As for actual game score, i'd say God of War 1 and 2, and Black was pretty good too.

And pokemon, hehehe

Best Score: Donkey Kong Country 2
Best track from it: Kannons Klaim. A beautiful piece of music, taking elements of dream house and industrial and fusing them together.

Best Soundtrack: GTA: VC

I still remember when the Playstation started pioneering the whole CD-quality music in their games... there was something awesome about having music in VG's which you would actually listen to in everyday life rather than just in the game. This was evident in racing games at the start (e.g. Gran Turismo series) and has been continued in newer games (NFS:HP2, Forza3, etc). I also remember GTA3 as being the first big game which had decent in-game in-house music on the varying radio stations. The adds also were awesome.

Not counting music games of course (e.g. DDR), I'd have to say the FF games have the best soundtrack. There's so many good songs- enough to warrant the purchase of the OSTs as well as the various piano score books (even bought the FF7 and FF7AC piano books off otaku for my gf's valentines day present). There's so much variety and mood captured in these.

I know the topic wanted individual songs but that's wayyy too difficult. Oh wait, I like the FF8 man with the machine gun song, and most FF battle music!
