Games with Great Music

I enjoy a game that has a great soundtrack.  Whether it's the actual music composed specifically for the game or real music that's added in, music can make a huge difference.  Grand Theft Auto is one of those game series that does a great job finding music to fit the game.  One of my favorite things to do is to hop into a car and scroll through the radio stations until I find one I like.  Listening to the radio while navigating the vast landscapes in GTA is fun and the stations are usually spot on with their collection of songs.

One of the games in the GTA series that did a particularly great job of finding music to fit the setting was Vice City.  Set in a fictional Miami during the 1980's, players can choose from a wide variety of radio stations that fit like a glove.  If you're a rocker, you can choose V-Rock and headbang to some classic 80's metal.

Or maybe you're a true fan of 80's pop and want to listen to some more mainstream hits--turn that dial to Flash FM for all the hits (it's hard to find a full soundtrack--guess they're stricter about some of the music on Flash).  But, if you're truly a fan of the 1980's, you'll opt for Wave 103 and some new wave madness.

The next time you're looking for some great music pop on the GTA:  Vice City soundtrack and relax to the soothing sounds of the 1980's.
