Video games with better music than the game itself

[Fawfulthegreat64]

People have already brought up modern Paper Mario, I second that, the music is the one thing that didn't fall off imo.

But may I draw attention to SpongeBob SquarePants: Supersponge. It has an absolutely magical soundtrack despite being objectively a mediocre-at-best licensed game. I myself grew up with the GBA version, which compressed the music and made it sound significantly worse, but listening to the PlayStation soundtrack years later it still felt like my childhood came rushing back better than ever.



And while the GBA version's compression mutilated a lot of the soundtrack,  listening to the ripped MIDIs bypasses that and lets us hear how they were meant to sound.


Still not as grand as the PS version, but a more pleasant version than what it sounded like farting out of a GBA's speakers.
