Has a game soundtrack ever made a game for you?

Yeah, I know Brad said in the review that the music is good, but holy crap: 
 
  

Diablo's Tristam music really burned itself into my brain. Most JRPG titles do the same. The most recent example I can think of is Half Minute Hero.

This one.  Great game, sure but wow, I want that playing in everything I do in everyday life.  
  

Amon Tobin's soundtrack for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.  The game was excellent, but the music is super-excellent.

I would have loved Half-Life 2 anyway, but the game's soundtrack is excellent. 
 
I thought it was great how they would almost reward you with a new bit of music at important scenes, instead of playing the same tune over and over.

I used to love getting into battles because of this music. Its starts off all aggressive but the best part is from 50 seconds onwards, when the music changes.

Puzzle quest had some damn good music, although I have to give my vote to Halo for having some of the best music I have heard.

Zelda anyone?

Dude, Bully had SUCH a great soundtrack, I fucking love that game, and a big part of it is because of that awesome soundtrack.
 
 

I'm never much for original video game soundtracks, but the Ocarina of Time soundtrack is one I have never been able to forget.  EVERYONE on this website should have fond memories of that soundtracks.
 
Also, the opening theme from Maniac Mansion = Fucking awesome.

Civilization had a amazing soundtrack 
 
 

A bad game will always be a bad game, but music still makes a huge impact, whether you realize it, or not. I remember seeing some sort of special on this a while back where they played a section of a game with great music, then played the same scene again with different music, then no music at all, and the latter two really showcased the point of just how much music affects your perception of a moment.

This is one of my top most loved  video game song ever
 

  @PenguinDust: That one is pretty great to :P "

Recently? Torchlight. I also almost bought Aion for the soundtrack, but I was able to stop myself on that one.

Max Payne 2 no question
 

Recently Torchlight too... But there is always Silent Hill and the Runaway franchise.  
 

Rockband 2 LOL, and you can add more to the soundtrack! no game has ever done this, other than the other music games...

" Zelda anyone? "

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Galaxy, Okami and The Darkness come to mind.

vice city's soundtrack made the game feel even more "decadent 80's"

Viva Pinata has some beautiful music... 
 
  

There are a lot of games where the soundtrack make the game that bit better. Final Fantasy VII has to be my favourite game soundtrack of all time (i know suprise). Metal Gear games, Zelda, Littlebigplanet and Mario are all games where I love the soundtracks.

" Dude, Bully had SUCH a great soundtrack, I fucking love that game, and a big part of it is because of that awesome soundtrack. "

 Diablo's Tristam theme and Shadow of the Colossus, pretty much all the tracks on that game rocked. 

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Seriously that game sucks ass. The gameplay is bad and so is the level design. And the game is so unclear about certain stuff. But the music, KICKS ASS!
 

 
I can think of a lot of games where the music was more memorable than the game itself, but one that sticks out the most for me  is Morrowind. It's an amazing soundtrack
 
 

Amazing game, even better music- 
 
  

As many have said there are plenty of games where the soundtrack made the game better -- FFVI, Xenogears, FFVII, Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Parasite Eve, Persona 3, etc are all examples that stand out for me.
 
As for a game where the soundtrack "made" the game... for me it would have to be the Ar Tonelico series. The games themselves are not all that great. They're generic dating-sim RPGs with really poor localization, but the music is so phenomenal that I find myself playing less for the story and more to hear the music Akiko Shikata composed.
 
Oh, on second thought how about DDR, Rock Band, Beatmania, or Frequency? Without music those would have been unplayable! ;P

Persona anyone? I was going to say Half-Life or the Elder Scrolls or even Lost Odyssey but those were already taken. Still, the music in the Persona games is tight.
 
Actually, some of the best music I've ever heard is in the Persona games.
 

Super Mario 64 still has some of the best music in any game I have listened to. I just listened to a few yesterday and had a great trip (huh?). Check some of them out: 

There are plenty of game soundtracks that I love, but I don't think a soundtrack has ever made me really like a game that I wouldn't have otherwise.

" Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Seriously that game sucks ass. The gameplay is bad and so is the level design. And the game is so unclear about certain stuff. But the music, KICKS ASS!
 

  I even have that song as my freakin' ringtone. "

I don't think I'd ever go so far as to say music as ever made a game for me, but I think my two biggest examples of music having a major impact on me with a game were with the Halo trilogy and Viva Pinata, the soundtracks on those two really blew me away. I also have very fond memories from when I was younger of the music in Pokemon Yellow, Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Bros 2. The music in general in Mario has also been great, as have the soundtracks for Legend of Zelda, Half-Life, Team Fortress 2, Oblivion and World of Warcraft.

Final Fantasy II for the SNES and Super Castlevania IV.

Oblivion and Ocarina of Time.  GODDAMN

Oh, and this:

 

DJ hero

Blizzard can basically do no wrong music wise. Diablo 1 and 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 2 and 3 for sure. Even WoW has a ton of good music and I truly believe people wouldn't fall in love with that world without it. The barrens music, stormwind castle and darnassus priest temple music are all great examples.
Morrowind and Oblivion for sure (love the start of Oblivion with the flyover of the city).
Megaman 2 has some of the best music ever. Tell me you didn't get pumped the first Dr Wily stage.
