Hideo Kojima's masterpiece, the Metal Gear Solid series, is known not only for delivering high quality games but also for outstanding music that come attached with every installment. GamerNode recently held a survey which ultimately led to the victory of Metal Gear Solid's theme performed by the Eminence Orchestra as the number one video games music video clip on YouTube.

GamerNode Editor-in-Chief, Brendon Lindsey, was quoted saying:

There is no video game cover on the Internet that tops this one, in my opinion. Take your One-Winged Angels and Zelda Medleys; push aside your Shadow of the Colossi and Vagrant Stories. This has everything done right, and then some.


True enough, wonderful music brought about by Eminence glorified the theme song Harry Gregson-Williams composed for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Accompanied with good use of footage from the MGS series, we'll have to agree that this one takes the cake.

they are not actually playing just fooling your mind. the instructor is moving way to fast and too young to move smoothly at all. i can see the cd player in the backgorund. they just it from video gameslive concert, huh.

sorry but you're wrong. easy to mistake though. the part where you messed up was noticing that the conductor is a choir conductor (they suck at conducting) and he's not counting the beat simply waving his hands to prove he has a reason to be their. with that said this group kind of sucks. With such and easy song they should have been able to improve and the more subtle concepts such as presence. The choir was so-so, but thats to be expected of a choir. the band was ok but the orchestra let me down. It wasn't as crisp as it could have been.

The VGL version sounds way different, plus they have the MGS1, not MGS2 version on VGL.

Sorry, but this reminded me of the Star Wars disco theme. I think I'll stick to the original score on my soundtrack CDs.

mgs2 > mgs3

shenmue music > mgs2&3 music


   Re: Spectre (Unregistered) - 2007-09-06
 » LOL

And that's why MGS3 is the only game out of the 3 to have one an VG award for its music/soundtrack. ^_^

The MGS games have always had the best Soundtrack of a game ever. Especially since Harry Gregson-Williams came on board.

MGS has been my fave series of games ever since MGS and the music plays a big part in that. So it's nice to see that other people appreciate the music as much as me!
