Underrated original video game soundtracks

What are your favorite video game soundtracks that are rarely mentioned or barely mentioned at all? 
  
These are my choices: 
  

• Hitman Blood Money

•   Tenchu series

It's probably not under-rated but the OST for No More Heroes is an awesome listen ;)

As much as I like the Hans Zimmer score for MW2, it's not particularly rated either way as it is just the most basic Zimmer score ever. Every track sounds like it was taken from The Rock, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator etc and re-orchestrated for the game.

I really like the score for Halo ODST, it made you fell more alone in the game.

A lot of PSN games I've played have good soundtracks in my opinion, Flow, Everyday Shooter, Shatter etc. I like most of the mgs music as well, but i guess that wouldn't be underrated.

 I can full heartedly support Blood Money's soundtrack as an underrated gem. I loved the work that Kyd did in that and even Contracts. Also, not that it's in anyway underrated or unknown, I was a huge fan of the soundtrack from FFX, To Zanarkand is perhaps one of the most memorable songs to me from the Final Fantasy series. Pretty simple but full of feeling.   

The Favela parts of the MW2 soundtrack is defenitely my favourite part, but the entire soundtrack is pretty much Hans Zimmer (which means awesome). 
 
On another note, the Witcher Soundtrack is also pretty sweet. 
  

The Psychonauts soundtrack is really fun and zaney. 
 
Also, the Viva Pinata soundtrack is one of my all time favorites, along with the Fable games soundtracks. Don't know if they are underrated though.

I know it isn't actually "underrated" because people hold the game in high esteem, but I love Bully's soundtrack. That game was awesome... I need to play it again.

Mickey's Wild Adventure:

I don't know if it's underrated, but Donkey Kong Country's OST was amazing.

Module's work on Shatter was universally praised by critics but when it came to end of year awards Giant Bomb was the only site that gave it best soundtrack. Further proof this site is awesome.

Hm.

• Battle Realms?

• MOTHER3?

• Baldur's Gate 2 + Throne of Bhaal?

• Mercenaries 2?

Deadly Premonition.

  Last Remnant had a pretty awesome soundtrack. 

Hans Zimmer got nothing on Michael Giacchino  
 
  

  Thread over.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory soundtrack
  Freakin fantastic
 

I hope this doesn't count as necroing, but I'm gonna have to concur with Ghostiet. Battle Realms had some of the best tracks in any game I've ever played, and probably the most memorable game soundtrack I've ever heard.  Kind of sad that the composer didn't get the recognition for it he deserved because the game did poorly.
 
  

Final Fantasy X. Here's the best song from that soundtrack.
 

NHL usually has a decent soundtrack, but 10's was borderline horrible.

It's not underrated. "

Not sure how many of these are " underrated " but anyway: 

Fable

Alan Wake

Team Fortress 2

Can't say underrated, but a few games had music that I liked, but rarely really get mentioned:

  Eternal Sonata, I loved the music in that game, but hated the game:

Bayonetta also has a really great sound track, but I'm sure it's been praised frequently, except people keeps jumping on and bash the main theme of the game. Nier also has great tracks but I've never played the game, it's got a lot of hate from major publications, so I think most probably didn't really care about it, one of my favorite osts:

NeoTokyo! The 1st 13 songs is even free when you download the game.

The RE games all around have fantastic soundtracks that are usually looked past.

I think I'll post something more retro. Ufouria: The Saga has pretty good 8-bit soundtrack.
 
 

One thing I always notice is that people always give Zimmer the credit for the MW2 soundtrack even though he had a very small role in it.
Lorne Balfe is the person that should be getting the praise.

 
 Rise of Legends got some pretty good soundtrack:
       

Both games in the Baten Kaitos series had phenomenal soundtracks; they're under rated because no one played the games.  
  

I'm gonna go ahead and say Portal. There isn't much music in that game. But when that super atmospheric soundtrack kicks in I have chills going all the way down my back.

• Command and Conquer Generals  
  
  •   Empire Earth 
    
  •  Age of Mythology
    
     
    
  • Battlefield Vietnam Redux WW2 mod 
    
     
    
  • Metroid Prime 
    
     
    

Persona 4 -   

 SiN Episodes: Emergence has a great soundtrack. It's just sad that the only song that everyone knows in that crappy lyrical one.

 

Too Human has an incredible soundtrack.
 

Shenmue

I've always liked the Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne/Lucifer's Call soundtrack myself.
