Great audio in games...recommendations?

[Tom Salter]

Absolutely. Its orchestral score sends shivers down my spine.

Other things about Halo 2 send shivers down my spine... XD

Can't remember in every case which of these are PLII/5.1/neither, but games that sound just great through a decent system include:

Halo/Halo 2
Ico
Rez

Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2
Zelda Ocarina/Majora/Wind Waker
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes/Sons of Liberty/Snake Eater
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Half-Life 2
Doom 3
Call of Duty
Gradius V
Burnout 3: Takedown
Secret Weapons Over Normandy
SSX3
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate

Another one. Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Burnout 3: Takedown

Definitely - I made the mistake of playing this through the 5.1 amp one evening without watching the volume level first; the crashes are absolutely viscious in Dolby Digital.

I found the first level of medal of honour to be quite impressive on the xbox 5.1

There's nothing like good audio. I personally thought Resi 4 was impeccable.
When your at a bridge or near the cable car ... you can almost feel the beams resonating in the wind.

Bliss.

What's left to recommend, blimey? ProLogic 2 though, great for causing a change of underwear.
