Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ohj5YlGWVg&list=PLKFCowJ7eV_sd4tGnuX6awlDVfAj5zlQs

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwj2zr8krwM&list=PLqvV4CbDex3OkEej7mWvpnNp0Nh6n9VmB

Not including Galaxies, Battlefront etc. since they're really just anthologies of movie tracks. If you have something else that you think deserves to stand up with these, you can nominate it.

Anyways, what is your favorite OST?

AncientPower
Republic Commando, easily, no contest.

SunRazer
It's extremely good (kind of reminds me of Two Steps From Hell), but it doesn't have as much variety as some of the more extended OST's. I might have to back KotOR here.

EDIT: Surprisingly, the music of TOR is really good. On certain planets, the themes are incredible (Alderaan, especially). I also liked Balmorra, Hoth and Korriban. Some of the Tython tracks are great too.

AncientPower
Instead of the generic senseless orchestra that they've shoved in most SW games, Republic Commando has genuine Mandalorian lyrics for a lot of the songs involved. The tracks are so good that TCW and TOR have both used Republic Commando tracks before.

SunRazer
It's not senseless orchestra, lmfao. As someone who's played the KotOR games before you should know this.

The themes are really good (and probably the most badass), as I said, but the lack of variety hurts. Also, TOR? That uses themes from everything, lmfao.

AncientPower
Most of the operatic themes used in SW games have either no actual lyrical basis or are using generic pig latin. Doesn't make the soundtracks bad, I'm just saying the effort put into the Mandalorian themes for RC go up to an objectively higher level.

SunRazer
That doesn't inherently make them better, lol. But it's your opinion as to which is the best.

Also, I forgot Shadows of the Empire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xss_kkXQ7q0

They're all really good, tbh. KotOR, I guess.

Of the ones I've listened to fully, KotOR is the best IMO. No Contest.

Sinious
Other than the obvious cool dark side stuff, I really enjoyed KOTOR's Dantooine, Endar Spire and Bastila's theme.

I also love Valkorion's soundtrack tbh.

Beniboybling
KOTOR though great is a little basic imo, SWTOR is a vast improvement and definitely makes my top in terms of quality and consistency, The Force Unleashed comes second.

I love that they used basset horns when creating the title screen music for TFU.

darthbane77
I like KOTOR's OST the best.

NewGuy01
Republic Commando.
