I still love the soundtrack, no game has come close to the awesome experience of FF7.
100% Agree with you!
My all time Favorite game and Soundtrack.
A few more of mine:
WoW
Runescape
Borderlands
TES: Oblivion
Dungeon Keeper
The soundtrack was second to none, the fight scenes and interaction were incredible at the time in '98, it was and still is the best combination of videogame and movie.
Mario Galaxy 2 -Wii
Goldeneye 007 - N64
How can I decide?
That would be my second best game after Elite. Say Elite get's 100/100, Final Fantasy VII would be on 99.9/100.
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Crash Bandicoot 1-3
Goldeneye 007
Tomb Raider
Super Mario Galaxy
Pokemon R/B/Y
Pokemon S/G/C
Driver
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto IV
Pacman
Mario Kart 64
However I couldn't pin it down to one single game because that is impossible. I've played computer games since 1985, on arcades, consoles, pc's etc and every time I say "this is the best game ever" another comes along and trumps it.
Mass Effect is probably my favourite video game series, with Metroid Prime very close behind. Both of these games are innovative and fantastic Sci-fi adventures.
My favourite multiplayer games are Burnout Paradise and Battlefield; both are fairly unique, free roam in Burnout is genius and Battlefield offers the best 'team' experience I've seen on a video game.
I agree and in second place i'd say World of Warcraft.
From what I've played, the two games that stand-out for me are Crash Bandicoot - platforming perfection that kicked Mario's ass - and God Of War, the most incredible gaming experience which still holds up well today.
You started off in a small spaceship, could not carry much, and with little equipment.
You could make more money by trading goods (and transporting them), by being a pirate, or by hunting down pirates.
You could then buy better ships or weapons, or gadgets for your ship.
As you blew up other ships, your rating improved. Eventually you would reach the rank of Elite.
It had vector graphics that seemed really advanced for the time, and played brilliantly. Combine the depth of the game with the length of it and it was a real classic.
Other games have tried to replicate it but none have quite managed it. Although also our game playing has changed substantially from the simple game play mechanics that was the basis of many of the best games of the 80's.
The mid 70's had Pong, which was probably the greatedt at the time because there was almost nowt else.
In the early/mid 80's it was probably Elite for the BBC.
The 1990's had Doom and Quake.
2000's we saw Halo, Fallout3 etc.
But I think it depends on when you really started gaming. Sonic 2 comes close to being my favourite ever game, but I only really starting playing games properly when I bought a PS1, and Metal Gear Solid has to be the standout game of that era.
80's
Rebelstar Raiders (Elite, Lords Of Midnight, Gauntlet as other contenders)
90's
Baldurs Gate 2 (Shining Force 2, Fallout 2, Dungeon Master, Ocarina Of Time as other contenders)
00's
Uncharted (Advance Wars DS, Mass Effect, GT 3 as other contenders)
But ask me next week and some of the answers may change!
I'd also have to mention Shenmue on the Dreamcast. I love that game so much. It's like living another life back in the mid 80's in Japan. I hope Sega brings it out on PSN or disc.
There are a ton more I could list but I'd be here all day.
