More often than not, the most memorable component of any video game I play is the soundtrack. I may enjoy the visuals, or have fun with how the game controls, but the music always gets ingrained into my brain, be it because of the ambiance or the composition, perhaps because it amplifies the mood of the situation it plays in, or happens to have a really catchy melody overall.
What I find funny is that, most of the time, the soundtrack may be a game's saving grace. Maybe the game looks like crap or is beyond unplayable, but it may have some hidden musical gems, or at least, some enjoyable themes. Key examples are games like Sonic 06, the 2D Zelda CDi games, Mega Man X7, and such. This is not always the case, of course, but it happens more often than you'd think.
