    The thing about Mario Galaxy is that it revolutionized video game music by combining cinematic-styled orchestral pieces with the usual retro melodies you'd expect and love from a game like Mario; not that any other game before it has done it, but they were certainly the first ones to actually USE that intentionally as a selling strategy and promote future games to do the same.

    I think the "music is too loud" problem mostly stems from PC games, consoles seem to have everything pretty balanced. CSGO and Halo are definitely huge offenders though, every time I start those games I turn the volume down, even when it hasn't changed. It feels like they magically reset their volume just to blow your speakers out every time.

    Oh I love this, this is my favourite video game topic other then early video game history, the fact that video game composers have consistently made decent music to the biggest bangers, when nowadays music on the radio has slowly lowered in quality. Not to mention that most video games have a distinct theme for it, while radio music is made to appeal to modern trends, thus making video game music more distinct and almost experimental at times

    I'm a big fan of the soundtrack to sonic unleashed. The day themes having fast tempos and high energy which really helps you feel like you are moving through these levels at an incredible speed. The night music (when it's not being interrupted by the battle theme every 10 seconds) is slower and jazzy, which adds to the atmosphere of sneaking through the levels at night. Rooftop run (day) and jungle joyride (night) are my favourite songs of each style respectively.
