Original Release: 2003
Song Comments:
I know this sounds bad at first, but stick with it for a while. It gets a lot better eventually and in the end, it's really epic. The guitar solo starting at 1:34 is probably the best ever in video game music, and the part from 2:36 onward just seals the deal. It sounds so epic... I didn't intend to rank this so high on the list until I consciously listened to it for a few times. This is also my personal best battle theme of all time, beating Sinstral Confrontation and Fighting of the Spirit by a long shot.
Game Comments:
This game was actually really, really good. It had German voice acting which I found sufferable at the time, the story was great and the ending... sucked bollocks. If the game would have ended after the final Deimos vs. Humans confrontation, that would have been an epic ending to a great game, but the corny shit that happened after that, with an antagonist spawning literally out of nowhere and an unreasonable increase in difficulty (I've heard people say you have to grind for 10-20 hours in the final dungeon to beat the final boss) completely ruined my memories of this great game. :-(
