I love that song 'Snake Eater' it fit in so nicely with the game

...Damn that was a hell of a game..i think im going to go dust off the o'l PS2

[Veryangry_bot]

SnakeEater Main theme (or MGS3 maintheme) <--- even hotter
And that ending song, "fallen" or something. Awesome sh1t right there.

MGS2 was the first MGS on a new platform. Its considered as a lesser game in the whole franchise. But MGS3 was LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead of MGS2.

If this is any indication, than MGS4 might actually be the lesser MGS game on the PS3 (even though it scored perfect 10s across the boards anyway). I shiver at the thought that MGS5 might actually be LEAPS and BOUNDS ahead of MGS4 like MGS3 was to MGS2.

Fuk Triple A. MGS5 will be TRILLION A's.

[crimsonfox]

i think it was "way to fall" haha
i write music and theres a song i wrote with out even thinking of it and it sounds allot like it after though i felt like i ripped it off so i never recorded it haha

[SoIid Snake]

Yes. I love the Snake Eater intro song. I also love the part when you're climbing up the 60 second ladder and you can hear the Snake Eater song start to play in the background.

[andyo13]

finally someone that agrees!

i loved the music in this game! it was spot on, every time, every where!
the ladder was probably the best use of the music

[Sheddi]

Seriously, that is by far the longest ladder ive ever climbed in a game.
Ive never played mgs3 on the hardest difficult, but i can only image how hard it must be to climg that ladder while ur stamina is decreasing rapidly.

[NegativeCreep427]

I've beaten MGS3 Subsistence like 4 times already and on the extreme difficulty it is pretty much chance to make it on top of that huge ladder without running out of stamina and falling off.

I love MGS4, but I still think young Ocelot kicks old Ocelot's a$$.

[pwnsause]

snake eater= greatest game song ever. ladder part was epic. it reminded me of people i actually cared about as well.

[dro]

i have to disagree, i think the music in mgs3 is good but god of war 2 music is better.

[Killjoy3000]

You're kidding, right?

[solidt12]

I agree also, best theme song ever and the music in the game over all is killer. This is one of my favorite games period.

[theEnemy]

Snake Eater by Cynthia Harrell

One of the best song on a video game.

Fighting The Boss, then the music starts, and when the music stops, it's game over.

Perfect.

[bbelly9320_]

but Nobuo Uematsu's work on the Final Fantasy series has yet to be surpassed in my opinion.

[andyo13]

fair enough alot of this music is excellent.

mgs3 music just appeals to me more cus its more targeted towards european people. ya can tell its made by english people and not japs or what ever.

wait... i might be wrong there.

[Bennosaur]

The song Snake Eater was written by hideo himself. I expect the other were either written by him or other Japanese people.

[Final_Rpg]

To zanarkand is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard in a game. Nobuo Uematsu's work is the best in the game industry hands down. His absence in ff12 was very noticeable, the soundtrack was not memorable or meaningful at all...

[cr33ping_death]

i love "servants of the mountains" you the song when youre going up MT GAGAZET in final fantasy x

[Homicide]

Final Fantasy has some incredible music. FFXII and FFX soundtrack were pretty good. MGS3 has some awesome music. I wouldn't call it the best, but it's up there.

[Irving]

Its not just recycled and remixed stuff from previous MGS games like you see in other game sequels. The opening song was brilliant and the ending theme just leaves you in tears.

[OsolidOsnakeO]

i like Mgs1 more than the others...

but sure mgs is the greatest of every thing...

[Tacki]

I'm not sure I'd say it's the 'best'... but it would certainly rank very highly with me. "Snake Eater" is just an incredible thing and perhaps has evoked the strongest emotions with me throughout the series. Though I must say that "Calling to the Night" is another of my favs.

Chrono Cross may have my most beloved game soundtrack of all time. At least for a single game... but the Final Fantasy series must be mentioned. Final Fantasy X had a truly beautiful score... but VIII's "Eyes on Me" is unforgettable to me.

Y'know I think it's amazing that games have really come to rival movie scores though. At least in my opinion they have. I mean when you really think about it they were once no more than beeps and bloops. My, how far the industry has come!

[MiloGarret]

You do understand that "Snake Eater" is a bit of a joke, a parody if you will, of other serious songs, right? I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it, great and very funny idea, but hardly a good and original song...

Aaaaanyways, The Bourne Conspriacy's music eats every other games alive, Paul Oakenfold ftw.

[Lord_Ash]

I totally agree with all that your saying especially the part about Chrono Cross, that to me is the best soundtrack ever.

[Bennosaur]

I still think Snake Eater is the most emotional game ever. The end of MGS3 almost made me cry. I never thought a game would do that to me but it did and the music was undoubtedly a big part in that. The end of MGS4 is really emotional too and I think the Old Snake song captures it perfectly. I think my personal favourite from the whole serious would be 'The best is yet to come' from the first game (also used on act 4 of MGS4)

[Antan]

I still have to say FFVII is my particular favourite.

[NegativeCreep427]

particularly at the end of the first disc when Aeris died. MGS3's intro music was so great as well. It was like totally capable of being apart of a real James Bond 007 film.

[Dante007]

but one of the best, for sure.

[andyo13]

many of u are forgetting one of the other greater songs of mgs3 and thats 'way to fall' its an emotional song and i love it, one of the best from the mgs3 soundtrack.

that and also escaping from the shagohod

mgs2 has the most epic song ever and thats 'ray escapes'

[pwnsause]

the whole album was awesome. i actually cried to the whole album. especially "Life's end". It just made The Boss even a real hero to the whole Metal Gear story.

[aggh im on fire]

the music is MGS is good but for best i would go for Halo or Silent Hill.
Halo because it is memorable and silent hill because you know its silent hill as soon as a few bars are played.

[SolidAhmed]

Where is silent hill, shadow of the colossus and CastleVania

Correct me if i am wrong but these are must be in the list.

[yog-sothot]

True, but that list is fine anyway... and games that sell quite a lot - like the FF series - have more chance to apper in such list

[TrevorPhillips]

metal gear has the best music ever i also love the soundtrack on mgs 4 its the best :)

[Nitrowolf2]

i have the music on my PS3
i love it, its so amazing and sound so good

[Losstarot]

Chrono Cross and Xenogears both had amazing OST. That guy is a genius when it comes to making music.

I am glad that FFVIII get the credit it deserves. The music was indeed top notch on that one, quality indeed.

[shadowfox6]

Shadow of the colossus, mario galaxy & okami were also great.

I like MGS3's music, but I think these are better.

[Killjoy3000]

Te track entitled "Snake Eater," alone takes the victory of this prize fight. Easily.

[The Matrix]

I'm stilllll in a dreammm...Snake Eaterrrrrr

[IzKyD1331]

[J BO]

Not only best music also best story line ever in video history.

[X]

This is a very good soundtrack and I'm a proud owner of it too. My personal favorite is still castlevania symphony of the night along with other favs like MGS, MGS3, chrono cross, chrono trigger, zone of the enders 2, and final fantasy tactics to name a few.

[Kuest]

Without question, "Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus" features the most prominent of audio quality, with respect to both its marvelous pacing, as well as the various themes it presents throughout. If not Cerberus, than surely Final Fantasy VI grand finale should take the cake.

Also, highly regarded as the "Snake Eater" piece may be, it still has yet to rival one visionary behemoth, which is Chrono Trigger's theme song. It, by far, boasts the most intriguing and profound melody, though sometimes oddly familiar, in some respects.

Just recalling the many video game soundtracks... shenmue, zelda, star fox... I find it hard to believe that MGS3, of all its four installments, holds the distinction for best audio soundtrack

[Mr_Kuwabara]

The Best is Yet to Come > Snake Eater theme

[FantasyStar]

The Best is Yet To Come = Here's To You

[Xi]

The best song is copied from Svirodov's winter road.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Bonsai1214]

the reason why the end of MGS3 had so much impact (and the music too) was because they made you pull the trigger at the end.

but on topic: The best is yet to come is my favorite song from the mgs series, followed by Father and Son, and Metal Gear Saga.

[schmeidenkamp]

but i believe all the MGS compositions are beautiful

[poeo]

like i wrote on the Pelaaja page, i think Oblivion has some truly amazing music, very underrated.. for me it's ALMOST as good as the best FF music.

ohh, and sh*t, why no love for Silent Hill 2 and Akira Yamaoka??

[DarkBlood]

i like the music on metal gear solid twin snakes on gamecube where your on the menu to start or load the game

[Halochampian]

Any of the Halo games. I loved the music... I bought the soundtracks. And the fact that my Favorite band(Breaking Benjamin) made a song just for Halo 2 makes me like it even more.

MJOLNIR Mix... is one my favorites.

[kewlkat007]

The best theme is "Old Snake Theme" from MGS4. I like the consistency through out that game with that tune....fits perfect.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Like someone stated from :40 -->:50 that tune(BASS) hits ya..then the "Strings of Snakes Heart"..continues, he smokes a Phat one while he ponders, another mission, he keeps going.

Fn awesome...

[ChickeyCantor]

Michiru Yamane
Nobuo
Koji Kondo
Motoi Sakuraba

and sh/t loads more have made awesome music
To me there is no best, they are all great.

[Gr81]

Its a good VG soundtrack but come on. This is such an opinionated statement. I'd say Brawl has the best music in the gaming world just because they have such a variety of classic VG songs..and MGS3 music also ;)
