The title says it all.
Good games have been made great by its music.

As for me, It is easily when

****FINAL FANTASY VII FINAL BOSS SPOILERS****


When Safer Sephiroth came down while "One Winged Angel" played. Never has a final boss music struck me quite like it.


****END SPOILERS****

Another one could be "Evil Messenger/Darkness" of Eternity from Final Fantasy IX. Not only did it start out like a remix of one of my favorite tracks in the game, It is the most epic non-final boss music I have heard in a game to daate.

A close third is "Zero" from Ace Combat Zero.

****FINAL MISSION SPOILERS FOR ACE COMBAT ZERO****

The music is epic with a touch of sadness, as you are fighting one on one with your former wingman. Once, I timed the most epic part of the music exactly with the cutscene when he launches the V2 you've just tried to disable.


****END SPOILERS****

Final fantasy One-winged angel like in the first post,
Kingdom Hearts all games had amazing music!
Legend of Zelda, mostly the newer ones like Twilight Princess, and an old one OoT.

Shadows of the Empire: Ord Mantell Junkyard

It's basically a loop of some music from the Empire Strikes Back when they're leaving Cloud City. John Williams is awesome.

Here's just the music:


Here's the game clip (skip to 3:00):

Final fantasy VII's Jenova battle track is amazing. Aside from that, one of my favorite game soundtrack overall is the one from Phantom Brave; absolutely beautiful and soothing; really fit for such an heartwarming game.¸

I like all of the Halo soundtracks, when your running around shooting aliens, the music ties in perfectly.

I would say the Volcanic Rim theme in Street Fighter Four is epic!
