There's the more reflective and emotional side too, though. Go back to Halo 2's Mjolnir Mix, cut Steve Vai loose, and tell me this theme isn't the embodiment of action. One Final Effort from Halo 3 is just so darn epic, from the clarity of those recognizable opening chords and E dorian piano arpeggios, to the driving drums and baseline with super bold octave leaps, to the motion and rhythm in the strings. The main Halo theme is one of the best action themes in a video game. These are iconic and as a big fan of the games I'm sure bias is creeping in here, but I think they fit the games perfectly. The Halo soundtracks by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, naturally. There's lots of video game music that I like, but if we're evaluating how well music fits into a given game then we have to consider how well it serves the game's setting, tone, story, and action.
