* ''VideoGame/{{Rocket Power: Beach Bandits}} has "[[Ventilation Nation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQGAVdEMP4Q]]" a dark and foreboding heavy metal track with some badass guitar and drum work.

* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne2TheFallOfMaxPayne'' has two. First, there's the transformation of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtiThcmjY80 this]] somewhat unremarkable theme tune from the first game into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtM9pDdsvw this]]. Then there's the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzsiE44Lz_w Late Goodbye]]" by Music/PoetsOfTheFall, based on a poem by the game's writer, which plays over the closing credits as the country-inspired SolemnEndingTheme; it went on to become a chart-topping BreakawayPopHit in their native Finland, instantly making their careers.

** ''Episode I'': Pain and Kokkoro, the ''two'' ending songs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkej74Bmmp0 Panic]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6YBMmmeY1w Breaking Space Ship Pursuit]], when things get serious, And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAQGCM-IyOE Albedo]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqiSdeyxZFc Song of Nephilim]], when you get tired of sleeping at night.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj2rrIpbUjA The last boss theme]] from ''VideoGame/TheRumbleFish''.
* The GCN ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' music may surpass the ''Wild World'' and ''City Folk'' soundtracks that came after them. A few notable ones are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97jgJP8Rtpw 7AM]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1cMt67onoI 8AM]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXVdTrpGUR0 11PM]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6rBZnYF4y0 12AM]] and as for Holidays there is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6izlJq_AMnA Halloween]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKiX2W1uUEY Christmas Eve.]]
* From the Japanse-only RPG Zwei: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecuqB_qfPgQ Final Battle -Demon Vesper-]] is a bit unique among Final Battle themes in that while it's not EPIC it opts for a more catchy and somewhat lighthearted tone while still having the feeling that it really is the final battle.
* The music for the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' series, composed by Jesper Kyd, is brilliant, but the piece which probably stands out is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQTsj8c-RHM the main theme of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6go687cYWMg Anu Orta Veniya]] from ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon Orta''.

* Who would have thought that a ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' game would have great music? Here are some examples: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KDinwCfvcg The Poseidome theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJzo0lWyq5c the final boss theme]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IREwuXKgiS0 the Flying Dutchman Graveyard theme]] from ''Battle for Bikini Bottom'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDV4MbBYdko the slide theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wxdk9jHa24 trench theme]] from the Movie Game. [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames Both are actually really good for licensed games.]] And, of course, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPQXsh_GcxY Rock Bottom theme]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBKb-8odKg4 Valley of the End]] from the ''Manga/{{Naruto}} VideoGame/ClashOfNinja'' series.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Vietcong}}'' series is best remembered for its awesome soundtrack. ''Especially'' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuYL-keoGvU Pseudo Hendrix]]".
* Pretty much the entire soundtrack of ''VideoGame/CelDamage'' counts, but the standout songs are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKJh_f5SW2w the main theme,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhYprYplQEk Death Valley,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbU7pEa19-U Mesa Madness,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7PzldwnkCg Monster Mosh,]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxmG851wlxs Babbling 5.]]

* ''Rocket Power: Beach Bandits'' has some really cool tracks, especially the heavy-metal theme for "Ventilation Nation".

* The GCN ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' music may surpass the Wild World and City Folk soundtracks that came after them. A few notable ones are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97jgJP8Rtpw 7AM]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1cMt67onoI 8AM]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXVdTrpGUR0 11PM]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6rBZnYF4y0 12AM]] and as for Holidays there is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6izlJq_AMnA Halloween]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKiX2W1uUEY Chirstmas Eve.]]

** The DS version also features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdM3ph57hn4 Remix 7]], which is [[spoiler:an extension of one of the songs in Big Rock Finish]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct-F1LPR81Y Remix 9]], two of just many catchy remixes in the game.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8l5wt_XTBY "Overpass"]] for the first half of the fight against [[spoiler:the main character's love interest]], which is soon [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments replaced by a remix of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wiu8nWMb04 "The Legendary Theme".]]

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKJo6DGWlaE The techno-style remix]] used for [[spoiler:his reappearance as, once again, the FinalBoss in ''House of the Dead 4 Special''.]]

* From ''VideoGame/BaldursGateDarkAlliance'', the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNDZUZKhwRE Elfsong]] is quite a beautiful song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkX0QvqBFMY It's Raining In Baldur's Gate.]] The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq-eJ9M2OIM final boss theme]] is a very epic song. Other good boss songs are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V289NMuyAWk The Orb Of Undeads]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRznnfHAimQ Sess'sths]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqEW0df2eI Xantams]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxx_WRs7snU Ciraxis']] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyiI3V22rA Ilavarras]]. The sequel also has great music such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9icd9u6D9c Alzagoras]][[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsYw9jWNBYs Randalla Brasshorn]]'s]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqkUkHaGZyg Zarad's]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrthxFJQRBA Karnacs]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9J-h8Btx0g The Basilisk's]].

** ''Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu'' is [[Horrible/VideoGameGenerationsFifthToSixth a genuinely]] [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames/AnimeAndManga terrible game]], but it has an excellent soundtrack for a GBA title. For some examples, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ_IO_ULgMM Namek's theme]] is a rock tune that captures the action-packed tone of the arc; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlxVa3Jyymw Kami's Lookout]] has a delightful remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdTqEGHl0-I Bruce Faulconer's "Gohan Fights Frieza"]]; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gj-cDHZjSA Orange City's theme]] is similar to Namek's but with a more melancholy electronic tone; and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmlBgeOL0T0 Inside Buu]] gets a very sinister theme befitting one of the last {{Womb Level}}s you ever want to be in.

* From ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Fever'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POoZIjSlcV4 Popoi's theme]], another great final boss theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKJ7Bcv7Rgg Strange Klug's theme]] from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Fever 2''. Epic final soundtrack while battling the BigBad...and that is simply amazing for a puzzle action game.

** ''[[VideoGame/DragonballZTheLegacyOfGoku The Legacy of Goku II]]'' [[VideoGame/DragonballZTheLegacyOfGoku and]] ''[[VideoGame/DragonballZTheLegacyOfGoku Buu's Fury]]'', being on [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames the other end of the licensed game spectrum]], also have decent soundtracks with both original tunes and remixes of the anime's soundtrack. From the former, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98TpesAQTNU this menacing lo-fi-sounding remix of Perfect Cell's theme]], while the latter has an epic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8cr-GnAHg8 remix of Super Saiyan 3 Goku's theme]] that, while maybe not as powerful as the original, is a lot more energetic.

** From ''[[VideoGame/DragonballZTheLegacyOfGoku The Legacy of Goku II]]'', there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98TpesAQTNU Imperfect Cell's theme]], which is a catchy yet menacing lo-fi version of, ironically, Perfect Cell's theme from the anime.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBKb-8odKg4 Valley of the End]] from the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' VideoGame/ClashOfNinja series.

* VideoGame/{{Evergrace}} has a soundtrack best described as a collage of various folk styles. Despite its messiness, It is incredibly surreal and beautiful, sounding like nothing else at the time. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm17vgmh854 Sunbeams Streaming Through Leaves on the Hill]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eixa_TizUuc Edge of the World]]" are highlights.

* The entirety of the ''VideoGame/FreedomFighters'' soundtrack. One track (''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDx2gIlme3w March Of The Empire]]'') can make even Mardi Gras sinister.

* From the ''Anime/MaiOtome'' [=PS2=] game, we have the awesome opening theme, Music/YouseiTeikoku's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoeXZEjg9sI "Valkyrja"]].

There's also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qpMncOdHmk theme from the Laser Maze level]].

* ''Racing Gears Advance'' has a ''rockin''' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA2BEA1EC2A557502 soundtrack]] that makes incredible use of the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance's soundchip. No surprise given that it was done by ''Tetrisphere'' and ''The New Tetris'' composer, Neil D. Voss.

* ''VideoGame/TurokEvolution'' features some very good music including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ64gedcopw Lost temple]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXF2qaaD4rM Sacrifice]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11JCvSKCX-o Airborne]] Makes one wish the entire game was as good as the soundtrack.

* ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'''s soundtrack by a cappella group Spiralmoth is very popular among fans. Check out this [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL42B18F7EFB36D541 playlist]] for an idea of what it is like.

* The ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series has pretty laid-back music for the most part, French lounge lizard Dimitri's own musical theme "Greasy Sweet" from ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'' is pure CMOA. Two versions in particular stand out, the boss mix (which doesn't seem to be on Youtube), and the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3K8Z5anQE the special remix]]", which can be found as an EasterEgg in ''Sly 2'', and in music video form as a reward for HundredPercentCompletion in 'VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves''. It's worth it.

** [[VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus The first game]] has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jqEzOT5BY A Strange Reunion]], for the final battle against BigBad Clockwerk.

* ''{{Mafia}}'' is not only a very underrated game. The soundtrack is great. Besides the fantastic period songs, the written soundtrack is equally top notch. Just listen to the amazing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURwmP6bbqs main theme]].
