Top Ten Most Beautiful Video Game Music Tracks Part 2 (3-1)

[Konkfan7]

No "reset-thank you version" from Okami?!?!?

[erunyarrr]

Harry Williams is a fuckin' genius.

[Shmiddler]

Xenosaga Episode III. The closing song gives me chills. Look it up

[UGCTheBest]

Lol, I was just about to say no Father & Son? just as #1 came on. :)

[Roxsor]

Well... I was expecting Deep in the caves from rayman appearing in some part of this list but no... :I

[MapleGeek54]

Ah, Paper Mario, my childhood game.

[trollercoaster99]

3rd one was ugh in my opinion, second one the game was wesome 1st fapfap fap fap fap fap fap i played that game soo many times

[TheDementedWendigo]

This was posted exactly one year ago... Amazing to see time go.

[RedSnyder141]

FFX's Ending is my favorite. But, everybody's different, I guess.

[kroqgar78]

Skyrim? Or did you take an arrow to the knee :P

[sephiroth21347]

@kroqgar78 this WAS made 2 years ago

[Exist64]

@kroqgar78 look at the date you idiot -.-

[kroqgar78]

@Exist64 oops. that was stupid of me :/

[Exist64]

@kroqgar78 yes, it was. sorry i cant put it in an other way^^

[UGCTheBest]

@kroqgar78 If this was made this year i'm sure that'd would've been #1. :D

[TheOffcialLola6299]

I got chills when I saw #1 was mgs43 that whole soundtrack is absolutely breath taking~ I love the whole mgs series & I think that its the BEST video game series of all time (& Kingdom Hearts3)

[TheFawfulfan]

I felt that Yoshi's Story ending should have been on this list. Makes me tear up every time...

[Xenexic]

No Stickerbush symphony?

[keeperoftheforest]

@Xenexic Dang it should be 1....

[FRANKthaTANK42]

My new pup just fell asleep at my feet during #3. :]

[AWonderingWarrior]

@peanut3423

I'm sorry, but your top choice is slightly flawed. But then again it is your own opinion.

[khdayskh1314]

Kingdom hearts music is better than everything on this list. Tears of the light or destiny's union shuld have been. #1

[Dontcallmyname225]

@khdayskh1314 i cant agree more kingdom hearts has one of the best soundtracks for a video game i have ever heard

[trollercoaster99]

@Dontcallmyname225 never really throught of watching or heared the soundtrack i guess the idea of mixing ff with mickey mouse n other charachters wasnt really something that dazzled me

[Jeffophone]

The saddest thing about this whole list is that these songs exist in one of the most under-appreciated forms of media in existence, and, as such, many music lovers out there won't get to hear these amazing works of art :'(

[CyanoprintData]

I disagree on this video. The Cave of the Past, It Is Finished, and some other VGM should have been in the top 3.

[billybo10000]

3:Such a happy sound and so peacuful with a tinge of evil.

2:BOOYA SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS! I'm now making my mother get me this game.

I loved every music track from this game

1:Sorry but I prefer SOTC! It has better music

[BBoy2015]

Why there no Professor Layton music here?

[ChaosAndGreed]

I see no Martin O'Donnell nor Michael Salvatori.

Peanut, I am extremely disappointed.

[lillovedoctor]

"Love Theme" made that MGS4 opening absolutely perfect. It really is a beautiful song

[drakemanification]

Paper Mario.... i miss my childhood ;_;

[megamanLOZpokesonic]

I'd put something from Trine on this list. That had some really nice music.

[Haloguyxboxftw]

where the fuck is halo

[VRusmagna]

@Haloguyxboxftw

It's his opinion, dude.

[Haloguyxboxftw]

@VRusmagna true 

[TheStickUpKid187]

god bless the Japanese for making great amazing video games!!! :)

[XxWillsFirexX]

Where's Dearly Beloved? :'(

[QuartrGuy]

@XxWillsFirexX One-per-franchise rule.

[kabukij07]

SotC all the way for me

[Baklaslut]

MOAR LIE POOPER MARIO RIGHT??

[antarpakar]

seems you missed gran turismo 2002 tokyo geneva ending ,sir

[RedDeadRedemption363]

YES!!! I just knew #1 would be Metal Gear Solid. They make the most beautiful music :D

[jorge10136]

viva metal gear

[TheAngeltoDemon]

All the videogame heads who appreciate good music, should start listening to more classical music.  Unknowingly, you've been trained to appreciate very sophisticated music. Remember, star wars is CLASSICAL music, by the great John Williams. I would suggest you listen to Gustav Mahler, Tchiakovsky, Beethoven....that is beautiful music! It would be great if they would liscense some of that to use in videogames, it would be on another level.

[TheOlyWolf]

Somehow, I knew some song from MGS would be #1. The entire damn soundtrack of every MGS game makes me want to cry.

[SKnight8046]

...Either that or This Broken Soul from The Eternal Night

[SKnight8046]

Mario and Peach's theme sounds like a lullaby I heard called Inchworm and that song is so beautiful that I mist up whenever I hear it. I can actually hear part of Inchworm's melody in this song. And personally I'd have put Valley of Avalar from Dawn of the Dragon on here but your choices were really beautiful. :)

[Pillgrim1981]

I never played MGS4 but holy crap that song sounds like it could have been made by Warren Ellis!

[bboywroo]

My top 4 would be-

"Peace of Akatosh" from TES4: Oblivion

"The Gateway" from, Super Mario Galaxy

"Wandering Flame" from Final Fantasy X

"Cape Claw" from Starfox Adventures

[SkepsisGC]

@bboywroo Oblivion Soundtrack I listen too every day, I love it, its beautiful. Dusk in the Market :)

[bboywroo]

@SkepsisGC Haha yeah :D but for me peace of akatosh is the most reminiscent. especially when you're out in the open and its night time and you look at the sky. I literally just went "wow" :)

[DajuNkdnA]

#3 basically ripoff of Frank Loesser's "The Inch Worm"

[hatmonkey]

i have a canker sore on my lip and i keep poking at it with my tongue but thats only making it worse

[Kaiserzel]

I personally think this song as beautiful :

search for Chaos Legion - Blood Remains Main Title

[skimpy34]

dude i always wanted to get shadow of the colosus, i heard it was INSANE! but i can never find time to buy it...

[fetuscockslap1337]

@skimpy34 story of my life.

[mv1701]

SNAKE IS THE MOST RELEVANT CHARACTER ON GAMING WORLD HE IS THE KING, AND HIS STORY IS THE BEST

[Dreadlord67]

Coulnd't agree more about putting Shadow of The Colossus in here. It's such an underrated game for so many reasons.

[Reckut88]

@Dreadlord67 it stands second to none on my top favorite games... although... SHOOTING THE ARROW ON THE FINAL BOSSES'S SHOULDER WAS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT!!!! AND PULLING IT OFF WAS TOUGH TOO

[Dreadlord67]

@Reckut88 It was hard to do cause you knew you weren't supposed too:(

[JosephPage]

I personally would've put Atrus' Theme from Riven: The Sequel To Myst somewhere on my list. It's quiet and slightly creepy, yet it rings of humble intelligence. To me, anyway.

[Dreadlord67]

@JosephPage Oh wow I totally forgot! That game series had so many great tracks! Geez, I'm gonna have to break out those CD's and play those games again! What an epic adventure!

[xXDeathRoweXx]

shadow of the colossus best game EVER!!!



[seinfeld19swag]

Metal Gear Solid ftw... We miss you, Snake. :\

[raaavy]

Uuum.. is it okay if I saay..... demise of the ritual is..... overated?

[darthnemesis02]

@raaavy Over overused then overrated.

[FrogMast3r]

To zanarkand FTW!!! If u are asking me what is to zanarkand right now, then let me ask you too that where have u my son been till now???

[skellington15]

Mario Party 2 Credits?

[Blackapino2011]

Paper mario=most awesumnessesst game eva.. Well maby not most awsumnessesst but greatly :O

I NEW IT WAS paper mario rite away

[zachpach101]

NUMBER 1 SUCKED!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! you should have done portal 2 turret opera that's is SO much better who agrees!!!

[mathmatucla]

This video was posted more than a year before Portal 2 came out. Hell, Portal 2 wasn't even announced yet I don't think.

[bloodangelxx]

@zachpach101 look the year man

 01/01/2010

[Johnny3tears4eva]

@zachpach101 Yes to your first statement no to your second.

[PYROjoSH09]

To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X has to be the most beautiful video game song :)

[Princessrinoa325]

@PYROjoSH09: To Zanarkand is beautifully composed and perhaps the best video game song ever created. :)

[Princessrinoa325]

To Zanarkand is beautifully composed and perhaps the best video game song ever created. :)

[CheckeredParadox]

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod through all of them I was holding out like "There ought to be some Metal Gear in here somewhere" and AAAAAAH <3

[mebrother9]

I'm so glad I grabbed that tissue.

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

No reset thank you version?

Come on man

[andy010101legend]

my number one would have been aeriths theme . two would have been flowers blooming in the church

[cjshisno7]

Legend of Dragoon should be here

[sephiroth230898]

That Paper Mario song ended my childhood, I finished it on my 13th birthday, and it made me feel empty.

[DumDum5551]

@sephiroth230898 and that is why i refuse to grow up XD

[U2becommenter]

@sephiroth230898 That game epitomized my childhood. I remember finishing it at about that age and started realizing the beauty in video games. Honestly, I didn't really feel empty cause I just played it over and over again. I loved the quirkiness of shy guy's toy box and the the adventurousness of travelling over to the snowy place. IMO, none of the other Paper Mario games told the story as well as the first. Paper Mario is one of Nintendo's most underrated games.

[Gmanster64]

WHY DOES NO ONE EVER HAVE SOMETHING FROM THE POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON GAMES!?!?

"Sky Tower" is incredible; in fact, it's the reason I bought the game. 

[olafurhh03]

Have you ever played Monkey Island.

[thesock339]

where

is

super

Mario

galaxy

in

all

of

this

I mean, really. that series had some of the most beautiful music ever, my favorites being sad story and smg2 trailer theme.

[SirPreyasThe619]

Beautiful

[Caasimac]

Stickerbush symphony from dkc2?????

[042Niklas]

My favourite themes are the intro themes of morrowind and halo

[Elc22]

@042Niklas did you forget the theme of Uncharted? there arent many games that can really have the kind of impact as Uncharted 2, MGS4 is one of them. its like playing a movie, if you can imagine that.

on a side note, there really needs to be a list of the songs...

[beercandan]

you need some dreamfall in there.



[CREGLAS]

The killzone 3 theme song is pretty freakin epic as well!

[TheJazzer94]

@CREGLAS not as memorable as the themesin this list

[TLtimelord]

World peace has come.

[MisterNinty100]

thumbs up if you think Professor Layton theme soud be in the top ten

[mgs4isepic]

wheres aeris/aeriths theme from ff7

[Aprouzen]

War has changed ...

[Aprouzen]

1# Is the best omfg -.-

[adasdadinator]

@Aprouzen thats why it';s number 1!

[Dbzsemper]

How can u not include dearly beloved from KH.

[firekeeperrr]

3. Oh the tears!

2. My goodness <3

1. Meh.

[KieranThaBearJew]

Aw. I was hoping to find the Hitman theme here. One of my favourites.

[Themanfrom1993]

i had the game for the soundtrack #2, and its beautiful :)

[Themanfrom1993]

i had the ame for the #2 soundtrack... and its beautiful :D

[sleepingbeautiwing]

#3 is really sad. I like it. :)

[SageSquidward]

Some, in my opinion, well-deserving runners-up:

Clouds Reflected on the River Surface (FFCC)

Fusion, Descent (FFCC)

Return to Slumber (Demon's Souls)

Xemnas Final theme (KHII)

Maiden Astraea's theme (Demon's Souls)

Fields of Fum (FFCC)

Midna's Lament (Zelda:TP)

[hankseptember]

War has changed...

[leeterrell21]

first time ever hearing those who remain and its FUCKING Sweet! I don't care if it's nerdy, i could listen to this shit all day. js

[Skywreckdemon]

There's a missing song in here: in Super Paper Mario, the music that plays when (SPOILER ALERT!) a world blows up. It might be disturbing, but it fits the scenery.

[Skywreckdemon]

When my sister beat Bowser in Paper Mario, I was watching; and ended up almost crying when number 3 started to play.

[InfiniteUnpiggy]

everything hideo kojima makes fucking rawks ;p

[DaveThePuppetGuy]

Only 2 Nobou songs in the top ten. I thought there would be more.

[KarenDragonAgeFan]

i agree with #2 as well. i haven't gotten thought the whole game but the intro music is so well made and well it makes you stop and listen at how beautiful it is. :)

[MechaKameleon]

I know that this might be the wrong sense of beautiful, but I love the Animal Crossing hourly music at night and during the wintertime.

[jonsandersgame]

8:02

“Snake that place is Saturated with microwaves, the longer you stay in there the greater damage you'll take, get through there as quickly as possible"

The whole scene was beautiful, in a sad way, your friends all fighting so you may succeed, if you fail, they die, and the world falls under Liquds Control. As you tred the Microwave Hallway, a split screen shows all of your friends suffering, Fighting, Dieing...This us truely a saddning piece.

[DynamicDialga]

All and all: Great list. But, if you would have chosen the rising sun, himiko's sorrow or yami, i would have been even more impressed. Yet, the list you picked was great. I am lefted amazed.

[ryonsu15]

great list, i truly enjoyed it

[xarab4lyfex]

i liked #1 it really fit the tense moment from that game that this song plays during (not gonna spoil anything)

[iycewyndandfyre]

YES PAPER MARIO IS ON HERE! ok this is like literally my favorite game ever and i was thinking if a song from this game was not on here i would have been really angry cause i can think of so many of the songs that are just awesome. Every area and boss has good music which is why i love this game

[cravingradishes]

Main theme from Xenoblade needs to be on there.

[zexionfan15]

Continued from other part (my thoughts):

3. Can't speak for or against it. Another game I haven't played and/or heard a lot of the songs for. Though, this is deserving.

2. I know you all too well, peanut. I was expecting a song from SotC. And the ending theme = beauty. Though, it does have the opening theme strewn in, which is also amazing. And this deserves its spot.

1. Can't speak for MGS, though I don't like the series. At all. Can't really say anything for or against this choice.

[neoman289151]

I was SHOCKED to not see an Okami theme O_O

[DynamicDialga]

@neoman289151 : Same here Neoman.

[nikap64]

Halo has some awesome songs and golden sun.

[MultiDavemaster]

my number 1: the elder scrolls 4 oblivion theme...

[PutiTsokolate]

I didn't see okami ): -heartbroken-

[DynamicDialga]

@PutiTsokolate: Yea, I thought he was goin to put one of okami's songs on there. i am just as suprised as you are.

[NexonPlayerNA]

I like #6. Really touches you, in the HEART. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH.

[HapieHipie]

Why isnt the ocarina of time opening title on this list????

[youisstinky]

Nice choices another good one that wasn't on here was old snake from mgs4

[theBubbadukes]

mgs4 song cuts to the core.

[SupremeAsianSkillage]

Ummmmm....what about the Halo 3 Title screen theme?

[DanielL5583]

Number one just so happens to be my favourite track in MGS4.

Thanks! Only thing is... do I prefer this to 'The Best is Yet to Come' from the original MGS?

[Vitaminb]

SotC song "A Sunlit Earth" is by far the best song and especially in context to when it happens in the game is the most beautiful in my opinion.

[DuxLikeCheese]

Seriously? Seriously? Are these three seriously better than Dearly Beloved? ¬¬

[screenON14]

@DuxLikeCheese yes, in his opinion they are better...

[martianbasilisk]

u gotta love video game music lol! oh and what i wud suggest putting in there if there was another one would be tekken dark resurrection' snow castle.

[liotie]

What about GoW 3 music ?

[SuperAidow]

Listening to #3 brought back so much nostalgia and happy memories, I shed a teardrop.

[CarrionSpirit]

Despite me not liking the game, FFX-2 had some great piano music like Eternity Memory of Lightwaves and 1000 Words. Great calmers for when you're mad.

[ivankoran]

i cried a little at the last one... good choice dude

[dotazion1]

Shadow Of Colossus, after all u make for save the girl.... u guy transform in a shadow colossus, is really sad, and the song is really beauty! i think, the @nd won, but we need give the credit for the metal gear solid 4 song, because, we hero snake, die after he last and most important mission!

[sheepdogfellow]

All I can say is Frigrate Crash and SotC lol

[flyingv16]

NEED OKAMI

[Phelan666]

How could you miss Triage at Dawn?

[esthirteen]

whats a vgm? video game... what?

[Phelan666]

@esthirteen Video Game Music.

[DartUchiha]

one of my favorite beautiful vg music is the main theme to The Legend of Dragoon.

[TheCorrster]

I was very impressed by ten! I loved it! My personal opinion is the other promise is the best kingdom hearts battle theme to!! :) has you ever heard the "dramatica the very best of yoko shim..I can't remember he last name! :) just look at the other promise from drammatica! Though it doesn't count in your opinions cause it wasn't in the game...

[Sonicsuperking]

You had me until number 1. I prefer yoshi's story ending theme. Not yoshi's island.

[waZelda]

Number 3: Meh, not one of my favorites, even though I loved the game

Number 2: I need to get this game one day!

Number 1: Hm, I prefer Son's of Liberty

I actually liked your 10-6 better than 1-5, but still, very nice list

[xDaRiceKingx]

This list is not complete, I think you need to add Kingdom Hearts: Dearly Beloved Just think about it

[bogeaqYT]

I dont know if I could make this list, it would be all Shadow of the Colossus.

[firefiend357]

Some really awesome choices but I personally would have gone for "The Best Is Yet To Come" (MGS1) as number 1.

[TehChibiMage]

I remember finishing Paper Mario and leaving the "THE END" screen on for over a hour because the music was just so soothing...

[fromb2b]

Number 3 brings back memories of beating my favorite childhood game, I can remember just watching the fireworks feeling so accomplished

[schwabstock]

Only one song missing, Dream Of The Shore from Chrono Cross

[TalesOfGod]

@schwabstock ...I loved that song too! It is so good XD

[tacoman4rmsj94]

Interrupted By Fireworks is my personal favorite

[BarEnFaroth]

Mmhmm, 2 is my fave aswell. Didn't expect it from this game, though RPG games are known for their slight minimalist feel in lone area music. (Towns etc..)

Thanks for this list mate, took a few recc's for my own. ^^

[burninator14]

Shadow of Colossus deserves a sequal. I mean, it's so much more possible than people make it seem. I want more of the beautiful music, epic boss battles, and amazing visuals which, if made on the PS3, would be legendary. It's not like wanting a sequal to some awesome game, it's like wanting some form of clearence on the whole thing. I was left wanting more after that disapointing (imo) final boss.

[lightshadow121]

@burninator14 SoC changed my life, it was just that fucking great. lol

[Memington]

3:39

Yep. SOTC had better be in your vid.

[Hambrack]

I would have put gamma's theme from sonic adventure or dreams dreams from NIGHTS into dreams. But you were avoiding upbeat tunes, but hear them when you can. Great list.

[nono1944]

if you want to hear another great music, hear ''memories'' from super paper mario....soooooo peacefuuull....^.^

[Peanutz996]

1: not that good

[Peanutz996]

3: Dire Dire Docks from mario 64 is beter

2:Love It!
