It sounds like it would be great in a racing game. When it kicks into overdrive at 2:00 is pretty awesome. No particularly memorable melody though which I really look for.

The start reminded me a bit of the Neon Genesis Evangelion song. It's nice, tranquil but at the same time not the most exciting thing to listen to for me. 7/10
Xenosaga II - Gate Out
Was waiting for it to pick up, but it never really did. Still pretty cool. 6.5/10
Virtue's Last Reward - Pantry
Principate
Saint Titanfall
6.5 wasn't really feeling it but it was ok.

Star Wolf - Star Fox 64 (Brawl version)
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It's pretty epic sounding although unfortunately the theme/motif isn't that memorable to me. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up playing Star Fox? 7.5/10
Catherine - William Tell Overture (Rossini) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsuJth9FXec
From someone that has yet to play Catherine, I still found that to be pretty enjoyable. 8/10
Hotline Miami: Vengeance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4sm6l0ul4k
While this song isn't in the game itself, I believe it was on the official soundtrack and was used in one of the promotional trailers.
Wow, so I'm not the only person on NeoGAF who knows about the Apple Jack games! I love the music in them too, very mellow and quirky, almost "bucolic" in a way.

Brilliant. 10/10
I'm hearing Command & Conquer, Blood Dragon and Mass Effect all rolled into one. Reminds me that i need to find time to play Hotline Miami sometime.
Street Fighter IV - M. Bison's theme
3/10
Pretty forgettable, I kept waiting for the song to start. Might work in the game, but not really worth listening to on it's own

Ace Combat 4 - Mission 15 ~ Emancipation

I know that it's nice in the game, but I always found the harmony and percussion boring. It's punchy, but after it plays once, I'm done with it. I really like the plinky-plonky melody, though. 5/10
Dang it.
Tetsukazu Nakanishi is GENUINELY classy. The structure of the song is found in a lot of video games, but it works and is just different enough to be very interesting. The chord choices are nice, the percussion keeps it lively, and the bursts of emotion in the brooding work. Also, horns. I love horns. 8/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85KPBONLHFo Namco Versus Capcom: Strider Hiryu (remix of Stage 1 from Strider Hiryu 1)
Sounds grandiose and very RPG'ish, kind of an interesting take on that theme. Not really doing too much for me honestly though. 7/10

The music really went hand in hand with the stealth elements off this game. This mgs had the best soundtrack imo.

A solid 8/10 definitely for adding to the atmosphere but I would say there are quite a few moments and tracks in mgs2 which top it.

It really brings a sense of chaos this track, its rather repetitive 7/10
Abadis Forest from Dust: An Elysian Tail - Original Soundtrack by HyperDuck SoundWorks
It's nice, with a sweet melody, but it doesn't really grab me in any way. 6/10.
MYTH - History In The Making - Title (C64)
One of the C64's many greats, this one.

Start was a bit aggravating but it really picked up after that. Definitely stuck in the 80s, but a nice slice of audio nostalgia. Some good arrangements that remind me of numerous other soundtracks of the time.

Something a bit more 'menacing' from me this time:

Not a terrible song, but pretty boring remix of a boring song that plays throughout the game.

No More Heroes 2 - Rank Up
ULTROS!

Seems like it's trying to capture the 8-bit heart by mixing it with modern stuff, unfortunately it isn't up to snuff with other mixers like Anamanaguchi (they make non-game stuff though), but it's OK I guess. 7/10

As always, wonderful work from Kikuta. It's both airy and majestic, with more than a few melodic hooks that do justice to the interesting arrangement. Bells, chorus, and piano work so well together, especially with that sound-font. 9/10

Also if any off the mods read this :
feel free to post your favourite song also as this thread is for everyone
6/10 as non-video game track.
4/10 as video-game track. Lyrics (that make sense, chanting/non-human tongues don't count) rarely, if ever, fit video games well. As credits music perhaps, but not otherwise, IMO.
Guile Theme, extended

Still the best version of the manliest tune Shimomura has ever produced. Wonderful guitar sound, slap-bass badassery, and none of those tacky trumpets that lack oomph. 10/10
Virtual On: Cyber Troopers - Into the Blue Sky [H.] Arrange Ver. (not even the best version I know of, but it's more obscure)

I knew that Guile Theme would get 10/10.
I remember when someone asked what would be GAF's theme music, and Guile Theme was the first post (i think?), and absolutely most suggested track.
EDIT didn't listen the above track, no scoring, next one continue from that... naturally...
Are we allowed to post others from previously posted series's?
If so:
Cornered 2004 - Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations

i don't see why not. as the music selection would get very limiting otherwise .

We shouldn't repeat IPs too often, but it's inevitable.
Also: Virtual On: Cyber Troopers - Into the Blue Sky [H.] Arrange Ver., since we gotta keep it going.

Arcade, Saturn, and PS2. It's the definitive blue-sky song (blue-blue skies get Sky High instead).

It's a great song but i prefer later renditions over that particular version. Doesn't sound quite as 'dramatic' on the DS
7/10
I've not played this game. Really liking this though - very upbeat and catchy. Was it a Dreamcast game? Reminds me of music from that era, and the bright colours of games like Sonic Adventure.
9/10
Metal Gear Solid 2 - Yell, Dead Cell

Nice boss song, not as memorable as others from the Metal Gear series 7/10
Freezing Atmosphere (long version) - beatmaniaIIDX 10th Style
Mixed feelings. Music itself is pretty good, but vocals... eh, don't like.
Also, the name is kinda odd, since the track itself seems kinda positive, warm.
5.5/10 perhaps.
And yes, i'm kinda stingy with scores
EDIT how should i say it, i have strong standards for what i actually think as really good (7, 8) or excellent (9). Perfect score i won't be giving out (10). Same applies to things i don't like, i can appreciate some things in most songs, even if i don't otherwise like them.

Hard not to like it, since it develops well, benefits from its in-game context immensely (I haven't played the game in a while, but it was the church, right?), and provides thematic material for a character. 7/10

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This would be perfect for a mini-game. This track is so... Mario. Starts off a bit grating, but once it picks up it's pretty cool. The weird phone sounds remind me of the Game and Watch stages from Smash Bros. 7/10.

I love this song. It's what defines a "world map" to me. Sakuraba's work on SO2 is one of the greatest IMO. 9/10

You tug at my fuckin' strings, Ult. This is the standout tune from FFX's soundtrack. Brilliant usage of dissonant bells, a unique progression aided by delicate piano, and percussion both unnatural and strangely attuned to the natural ambiance of Besaid. 10/10

You had to go and choose this. Such a fantastic, upbeat track. Fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly and is just a complete joy to listen to. That guitar, that beat, that everything. 10/10.
