It was pretty neat at the time, and I never really saw it catch on with other franchises.

Any other games that have original soundtracks with lyrics as background music during actual gameplay (and not just cutscenes, game intros, or credits)? I may have seen boss battle songs in some games with some Latin phrases every once in a while but not full-on lyrics.

Other ones I can think of are the Tony Hawk games or any games that have a radio feature, but even in these games they are licensed songs and not original soundtracks.

when done right, its a nice addition to bgm but then you get garbage like this where the lyrics completely ruin the song and make it annoying as fuck

which is a shame because the instrumentation in the song is actually quite good

Yeah I mean GTA did this too but obviously a radio station is different

Didn't like tales of phantasia have a song with lyrics? Was that intro only?

I was just listening to the SA2 soundtrack and as that song came on I thought of making this topic. It was amazing fighting the final boss with that song playing. That and the first Sonic level with Escape from the City are some of my best childhood video game memories. I really think the music added to that.

Absolutely the best example of this. When the boss fight ramps up and you're on the finishing move, the lyrics kick in and you've never felt more like a genuine badass in your entire life.

Also, I unironically love the music from the Sonic Adventure games.

Sounds awesome. I may have to check it out.

It's a fairly short game, but the hype is insane and it's a ton of fun to play. It has some of the best boss battles in action game history. It has New Game+ and a lot of unlockable bonuses (and the DLC is fun too)

I suggest anybody who hasn't played Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance finds a copy and plays it as soon as possible.

Metropolis Street Racer, and Jet Grind Radio.

Both have legit original tracks.

Sega's music game was always on point!
