Just like the Sony Playstation, I ZOOMED BY the 16 bit era.

EDIT: Not the best, but all I could come up with.

Platform: NES, Genesis, GC, Xbox, PS2
Link to download: Galbadia Hotel, remember?
Favorite Song: Metal Man's theme
Remixed version of above theme

Ratings:
Fitting-in:It's Megaman 2, back when NES tunes were becoming generic background music, Mega man 2 makes it more easy to listen to. Metal Man's theme? Totally rave inducing. Flash Man's theme? Sounds too jazzy for a guy who STOPS TIME. 8/10
Originality: wut. It's the 2nd MM, the greatest in the series by most. (I prefer 3, tho.) Plus, considering music in video games weren't big then, it's pretty original compared to most NES games. 9/10
Diversity: Damn right there's diversity, though Wily's stage had a few themes for it's entire castle. 8/10
Nostalgia Value: I always get Metal Man, Flash Man, The Boss Stage or the Main title theme, and I always get excited when it comes up. 10/10, bro!
Overall: 7.75/10

Closing comments: I think Wily's Stage theme was overrated.

One of the best soundtracks to a game I've ever played. My favorites include Quick Man, Bubble Man, Continue Screen, and Wily stages 1 and 2. I even wrote out the sheet music to Bubble Man's stage for a string trio (if anyone's interested, just tell me).

By the way, the correct order to play is Flash, Wood, Bubble, Air, Crash, Metal, Quick, Heat.

Like Slim Shady I cannot tell a lie, that's the order I've always done it, and I've been playing Mega Man 2 for 15 years (on American difficulty I'll admit). Flash Man has great starting-off music. I also forgot to mention, Wood Man and the Intro are also tracks to check out.

I should probably sign up for this group.

Title: Super Mario Sunshine
Artist: Koji Kondo
Platform: Nintendo
Link to download: game
Favorite Song: Special stage, noki bay

Ratings:
Fitting-in: All the songs in this game have that "tropical/relaxation" feeling, while still being upbeat. Fit perfectly. 10/10
Originality: I still haven't come accross a game with this kind of music. Then again, i'm vary specific to certain video games. 10/10
Diversity: The only downfall of this soundtrack. The songs all have the same feeling, while still having some outlanders, like the "special stage" song. 8/10
Nostalgia Value: So many good (and aggrivating) memories from this game, and these songs recreate those very well 9/10

Overall: Avg the past four numbers. 9.25/10.

Closing comments: Very great game, even better soundtrack

Ratings:
Fitting-in: It's Street Fighter II, bro. Right down to Vega's and Dhalsim's themes. 10/10
Originality: Does millions upon millions of remixes help the originality rating? Yes. 10/10
Diversity: Every character has thier own theme IN THEIR OWN TRADEMARK STYLE BROTHER. 10/10

1. Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters

2. Final Fantasy X

3. Super Mario Sunshine

Really, you should just base it on member's voting. The review scores tend to go overboard. (See: Crippler.)
