A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.
Playstation 2
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Garibaldi Courtyard
Garibaldi courtyard Kalm baldi Panik
This drum line, its from something isn't it? Kinda reminds me of Requiem for a Dream or something
2018... and this game is still not awful, i love it
Sounds like something straight out of Mystery Dungeon, no?
damn this is jammin
Damn this games is so good and so underrated.
best music ever.
Such an underrated game...
if I said maybe exaggerate a masterpiece, but it is so great, the best I e heard of the saga of Castlevania
GOd I love CV music always a good choice
I really, really need to play a Castlevania game... Eventually. They do seem fun.
Play Bloodlines on the Genesis first. It's my favorite one in the series so far.
Play SOTN
+Retrauk Super Castlevania IV and Symphony of The Night are your best places to start, man! Have fun
I stand corrected. Symphony of the Night is the best Castlevania game.
i couldn't agree more.
wait did they do the music perfect for this game cause symphony is something musical
I think I've only ever beaten the original and Lord's of Shadow. So I too must play a mainstream Castlevania game, for research of course.
Dracula Chronicles X is a pretty good start. Contains two games. The 2.5 Remake of Rondo of Blood and a port of Symphony of the Night.
this game gives me huge fun, dont know why is so hated, even by castlevania fans : /
@Omar Sama This game is great. I actually agree with @Ignacio Castilla De Los Santos , I don't know why it's hated so much. Sure it's not on SotN tier, but it's still really good.
Angelic music cannot save an otherwise shit game.
TheBladesman 3 I actually like it now lol , kinda sucks I deleted my silly old comment
Good but sotn had better.
the music was the only good thing about curse of darkness :/
Nah, Curse of Darkness was great.
The best 3D Castlevania IMO
@ejswe Innocent Devils were awesome.
mjolnir you kidding? This game was a fucking masterpiece, from start to finish. Definitely the best 3D castlevania ever, before konami was fucked.
I can play this on piano, such a relaxing and beautiful one...
These lists made by SupraDarky are in no order.
the drums on this sound like the same exact sample from the beginning of the korn song "make me bad"
Hard to beat game..very tough
Haha
Ah yes... I forgot Supra has quite a thing for Castlevania. I gotta agree though, this one is good!
Heh, i bought a used PS2 years back basically just for Lament and Curse of Darkness ;)
games like this one make me want to have a PS2...
Vash the Snake Me 2 !
Ooh, nice. This would be some badass Halloween music! ^^
Instantly knew this was Castlevania despite not really being a fan. The soundtrack just has this feel to it, ya know?
Honestly haven't played the game, but I love this theme.
0:14 DAT BEAT !
this series even gives me suggestions of what games should I play.
If Nintendo wants more 3DS sells worldwide they better put some pressure on Konami to release another excellent Castlevania platformer. These games alone forced me to get a GBA and a DS.
Investigation time!
Londo: "Mr. Garibaldi, I want to have a word with you."
I got an ad longer than the video >.<
@TrevorCBelmont ya i mean forreal.
@TrevorCBelmont i thought you were abbreviating call of duty at first and them like oh ya curse of darkness. PHew i was about to say how does call of duty get a song a number 3 on a best vgm list.
@TrevorCBelmont im relieved..... for a second i thought u meant Call of Duty :)
@DivineSniper54 Agree ;D
This game isn´t the best of the franchise, but it has great melodies!
@brunuman I beg to differ. Trevor Belmont would whoop Chuck Norris's ass left and right =)
@xSayPleasex ofc i'm joking :)... a little
@kricku lol your joking right? if not.... CoD = Curse of Darkness i.e this Castlevania game ;)
A lot of people seem to be talking about Call of Duty
If one pay close attention in this music, will find that the phrases changes to "evil and good". It tells the player that "He didnt see nothing yet, more evil awaits you" and then it tells "Dont worry, everything is gonna be okay". This aparently "simple notes" song, by Yamane ,easy to play on piano, have a complex meaning that pull me in deeply madness.
CoD's OST is a tragedy. It's a masterpiece on a mediocre game.
who can blame the castlevania characters from alwys goin against dracula? with music like this i would go against chuck norris himself!!!!(ok ok thas was maybe too much no one can do that...)
@TrevorCBelmont oh yeah, it's final was a homing attack where he makes a seal in the air and them breaks it into pieces, which fly off and attack.
@TrevorCBelmont the final rapier was a mean son-of-a-bitch too, hey, watch me pull 20 magic missles outa nowhere while my raven type burns you all to ashes.
good song+good gameplay+good art=¡¿shit castlevania?!
Great song first time I've heard it! Has a simple but melodic beat.
@85ihateposeurs well A LOT of people hate N64 castlevania games BUt I liked them, I don't know why they hated them that much. The innocent devil system is what kept me from getting bored from time to time. The music in castlevanias are usually good and this one isn't an exception!
@85ihateposeurs don't hate on the gameplay, I loved this game. It was different from other castlevania games but it was addictive and super fun.
one of the good "new" castlevania imo, I loved this game.
@GuilhermeTNTBuble Theyre not ranked
holy shit this sounds like Make me bad by Korn. the rythym section
@Connell66 yup. its exactly the same lol
@Kelvinian hey now I find some films that are meant to be horror but I end up almost dieing of laghter at the end. sometimes it's because of how stupid the movie was.
@ElfOfJapan ...Or, like comparing comedy film to a horror film.
Wow...What kind of game is this?
@TheAvengerBlade Suiko was done by Miki Higashino this one is by Michiru Yamane
I loved this game and this is one of my favorite themes from the game.
You're right, Final Fantasy 7 and Castlevania are completely different, except for the fact that most of them are emo! XD
@MiyukiHitsune That's Michiru Yamane. The one who wrote the music.
can any1 agree with me that played CoD that corpsey was they best bitching innocent devil funny name cos they kill ther opponents
Curse of Darkness HAS an amazing soundtrack...
Curse of Darkness had an AMAZING soundtrack.
Im not gonna lie. I think Konami holds onto the good music developers for their castlevania games. They have never dissapointed. spot on!
This is by far my favorite song out of all my Castlevania Soundtracks.
I've never played a Castlevania game in my life, but I really like this song.
I remember the first time playing in this level I was like: "I love it!"
OMG I FOUND YOU AGAIN!!!
All the songs sounds like remixes of other songs of castlevania. But still great ^^ Sorry for bad english blabla you know ;)
Castlevania games have always had amazing music... even the very first one has songs that sound great to this day. Epic track
Best theme from the track
Awesome :)
omg, i had headphones on and the beginning scared me...lol
oh yeah i remember this song mortivia fountain was a favorite also
so wanted to try this game out!!!
HANG ON!!!! Is this song played outta my headphone or what... oh, its just the music is surrounding my head. Surrounding music!! This tune is damn f***ing nice
very begining freaked me out... lol... thought it was something outside for a sec... headphones... right...
this song is beautiful !!
Lovely music, what's the game like? ;)
No, you're doing quite well. One thing to watch out for, though, is to put a space between the period (or comma) and the next word.
Didn't think something this epic exisred... I like dark, graveyard/castle themes like this... They define a dark purple...
you should add Lone Challenger - Order of Ecclesia
And it sucks the big one. So no, not a good move.
No this game is not awful ^^
i hope there will be castlevania symphony of the night songs later on. else, ill be pissed
Agree! castlevania's music is awesome. this song is so.. idk but i love it.. theres something in it :p
I dont know if Bloody Tears is on the list, Im doing these in order, but that in my opinion is the best castlevania music ever. This one is also very good
That's not off-topic, it's very much on-topic. You're right though, it sounds exactly the same. Very good observation.
It's called Followers od Darkness--The Second. Bangin' tune actually.
This is absolutely amazing.
Good ol' Castlevania, I hope Symphony of the Night is in here.
mm I love garibaldi biscuits..
Heh! There's nothing wrong with being passionate when it comes to debate. It's fun, if anything.
people say the CoD's gameplay is pretty slow but i love playing it. The music is awesome as you can tell from this video
FF7's fame grew because it had anime style art and because it was on a new system. Plus after Wild ARMs people were desperate for a good game.
DAMN YOU, GALBADIA HOTEL! Why didn't you have this track (and Dracula's second theme)?
I still say FF7's fame grew more out of some people saying it was good than a lot of people playing it. It's like a lot of people just assume its good. anyway this tune is really nice.
SotN was good, because of its sound track and because it was radically different from all (at the time) other games in the series. I grew up with Super Castlevania IV, so it will always be my favourite. It had the best version of Vampire Killer I've heard, and excellent versions of The Beginning and Bloody Tears. My favourite original songs were Simon's Theme, the treasure room music, and Room of close Associates.
I think the ones where Michiru Yamane is the composer have the best OST.
SotN may not be THE best, but it is definitely one of the greatest. to say otherwise is just lying to sound "different and cool"
I'm actually not that keen on SotN. I haven't played many Castlevanias (Bloodlines, X, SotN and, Curse of Darkness and the two DS games) but I'm still not that big a fan of it. Dawn of Sorrow, Curse of Darkness and Portrait of Ruin are my all time favourites.
"everyone thinks that SotN is the best. everyone." LMFAO! *Sarcastically* Ha ha.... Like that's saying much.
xtrife57 I agree, it's a matter of opinion. The best performance between games is opinion. Society as a whole is the one who dictates which game is the best. And within society, it is the single opinion of the majority which dictates a game to be considered better over another. But what's funny is that the word "best" is completely taken out of context because they unwillingly mean "most revered", not "best".... "Best game" and "most revered game".... Two completely different things.
You're just saying what's true? NitM/SotN is the best Castlevania game and it probably always will be?.... Those comments you made right there.... They are just absolutely THE biggest pieces of hogwash I ever heard concerning Castlevania.... An act of true ignorance at its finest. Where the hell do you get off declaring what's true and what's not false? What you just said weren't even opinions. You are declaring it as fact, just by blatantly stating what is truth worthy.
"Easy or not , it's the best in the series" No it's not. NitM/SotN is not the perfect game you believe it to be. Despite the game greatness, it's got way too many problems. To believe that NitM/SotN was a perfect Castlevania game is an act of ignorance.
i liked lament of innocense better than COD o_o
I am a big fan of Castlevania series SOTN and CoD are great games. I can't say which is the best.
everyone thinks that SotN is the best. everyone.
well basically, players are the ones who make a game be "good". A great game is a game that a lot of people think is good, otherwise it probably sucks, but thats not true. The truth is that if you enjoy a game more than another, if you find it more interesting then what more reason do you need to say its better. Its all a matter of opinion, really, but JonathanFerGold's comment is definitely not dumb.
I wouldn't say it's dumb. In my opinion, I think SOTN is better, but it's hard to tell since it's the 1st Castlevania game I've played. Portrait of Ruin, despite what people think, is also an awesome game. It's very hard to tell which one is the best, but it's definitely among those three.
You probably didn't even give Curse of Darkness a chance.... The game is so much better than what people make it out to be.
Who says that? People that obviously aren't you? Stop letting other people make decisions for you about games. Make your own goddamn decisions.
No doubt, no doubt.... I can't wait either. Honestly, I love all the Castlevania games. It's just that Curse of Darkness is so unique from them all. Like I was saying before, it is a refleshing experience from all the other Castlevanias. I don't know.... Unlike most people, I found very little things wrong with the game. Well as minor as it is, I can say that Leon Belmont's walking/running animations has Hector's walking/running animations beat by a thousand paces.
"Hahahaah , fool ... everyone and everything knows that Symphony of the night is the best Castlevania game ever" LMFAO! Who the fuck is everyone and everything?
Indeed. Many Castlevania fans don't like this game because they can't accept the transition from 2D to 3D, even though CoD is exactly what a Castlevania game should look like in 3D. In addition, the vast majority of gamers don't stop to take a look at details on the scenarios or keep playing the game after beating it looking for secret areas. Many don't even listen to the music! I don't think fans will ever accept a 3D Castlevania, but I can't wait for a next-gen Castlevania to come out.
"The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music..." That comment pretty much sums up when I love this Castlevania. And because the majority of the Castlevania fans put this game down despite those reasons, I know that this game is terribly underrated.
Ha ha ha, that's crazy dude. Well I have to admit: When I first played this game, I absolutely hated the first 20 minutes (The Abandoned Castle, basically). However once I arrived at Baljhet Mountains and started fighting monster left and right, weapon crafting and leveling up.... I was like "This game is incredible!". I had realized the experience was deep and refreshing from typical 2-D Castlevania games. And that was me when the game first came out in 2005.
No need for apology: It was your opinion. I am just known to challenge people's opinions, when I realize they don't understand what's really presented. It was never personal. Yeah I agree: While Curse of Darkness may have minor restrictions on exploration, the visual environments themselves are too beautiful not to be desired. But then again, this isn't Grand Theft Auto or Shadows of the Colossus. Honestly, I never had the intention of playing a Castlevania game for the sake of exploration.
I don't know the reason. I myself can't understand why I didn't enjoy the game the first time. The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music... how come I only appreciate the music the first time? ... I don't have an answer for that... All I can say now is that I'm sorry for the way I treated you, and that you were right this whole time. I can be a pain sometimes...
Say what? I'm confused... Are you serious? Then, I'm just confused as to why your previous comments were negative about the game? Can you clarify as to why you originally thought this game sucked? I was always under the impression that the whole "Curse of Darkness" experience was impossible to misunderstand, considering the awesome shit you do in the game.
Yes, there's a bit of exploration restriction and a couple of musics that I personally don't like, as well as a mediocre last level. But those are minor flaws. The game has SO MANY good things that you just forget about them. I just can't understand why I didn't appreciate it right from the start. I feel the obligation to apologize to JonathanFerGold, and I have to agree with him: Castlevania Curse of Darkness is the Ultimate Castlevania Experience.
When you talk about something, only to later realize you were wrong, the correct thing to do is to face your past words and accept you commited an error. And here, I am the one who was wrong. CoD is one of the best games, and it doesn't deserve my previous comments. I know I may sound stupid, but I replayed it a few weeks ago, and the experience was indescribable. The scenarios, the music, the Innocent Devils, the weapon crafting... everything was amazing.
Thank you xtrife57! God, someone finally agrees with me in regards to such an great Castlevania game. I can't understand why it's so fucking underrated?
DiegoVizia, nobody here is saying that graphics make a game better. All I was saying was that NitM/SotN was way too easy. It should have been harder, like Minuet of Dawn/AoS and Crucifix of the Blue Moon/DoS.
As great as Nocturne in the Moonlight/Symphony of the Night is, the game is way too easy!
Yeah, I think this Curse of Darkness game was great. I hate it when people block their minds and say that any 3d castlevania simpy sucks/will suck.
This VGM is really good.
anyone else find hip drop lvl.2 absurdly powerful?
Ms Yamane is Awesome!
I gotta give this game back to my pal soon...I'm gonna miss it :(
Who cares about graphics or difficulty? The important things are: Gameplay, story and music. The gameplay of CoD sucks! You can't interact with anything and you can't even fall off a platform because there are "invisible walls" everywhere. The story is so empty I can't even remember it. The music is excellent, but that's the only good thing in the game. So go then and play Gears of War if you enjoy good graphics and leave Castlevania for good gamers.
You're totally crazy. I'm one of the biggest fans of Castlevania, but I have to admit this game is bad. Level designs lack inspiration. You always feel like you're inside 4 walls, even if you're in the forest. And that's because the trees and all objects in the world are not designed with polygons. Everything is just a wall with a texture making it look like there's a vase, a candle, or a window. But all there is is a wall with a texture, so you can't interact with the objects you see.
Why would expect anyone to hate you for saying that? If I had a choice, I would own this game over NitM/SotN. I love NitM/SotN, but it has problems (Such as the lack of a boss rush mode along with a single difficulty level that is so, so far from being a true "break a sweat" experience).
Yes! It would! : )
I got nega-rated up the ass for saying that CoD was better than NitM/SotN? I played both games religiously and I came to learn that CoD was just a better, longer and harder game. SotN was too easy. And graphics have no impact on this matter either. "everyone and everything knows that Symphony of the night is the best Castlevania game ever"? LMFAO! What a shallow remark.... I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response. : )
Nice music =D Would it be blasphemous to say that I have yet to play a single Castlevania game? D;
I don't know..... I like those 3 equally. 1 is classic instrumental, 1 is hard rock and the other is techno. So I mean, 3 songs using 3 individual styles. I can't decide which one is better. But the 3 I have listed are the select few best Castlevania songs in history. With time, Michiru Yamane seems to be getting better and better.... Like a fine aged wine.
It´s the best song
limewire it man
Are you fucking kidding me? This game was better than Nocturne/Symphony.
This is one of the greatest songs ever in the Castlevania series. My #1 fucking favorite, other than "Anti-Souls Mysteries Lab" and "The Tragic Prince".
Can anyone tell me where can I get this track?
Okay. You caught me in a good mood today so I'll forgive you for spitting on my favy game ;) But I'm serious, try it again and try to discover things. The game holds much more than just the fight against Drac.
What are you trying to say? Castlevania doesn't deserve this kind of music?
This is one of my favorite tracks from that game also.
