YouTubeI think it could be easily argued that on the end of somebody's very first playthrough of Mass Effect, the credits music effectively made the playthrough what it was.Can't really describe it. But beating mass effect for the first time, watching those final minutes play out, and then having the game end, and open up with that soundtrack was just....fucking surreal.
YouTubeEasily one of my top favorite. I would just stand around in the C-Sec Academy listening to this. I was so upset when they ruined it in ME2. I was upset when they changed a lot of Mass Effect's iconic music sound...

Sort of like this clean sort of feeling to it. Like the game was showing you all this amazing stuff and inviting you into the world.

Especially the tension after Virmire now that you know that the Reapers are coming for real and that Saren was just a puppet of an actual Reaper.

Atmosphere wise the first and second games nailed it.The first was clean, new, and inviting. The songs were all founded on wonder and awe to the eyes laying sight on the story and world for the first time.The second game nailed the darker, grungy aspects of that shiny new world people had become accustomed to.

My first playthrough is something I won't ever forget. Talk about god damn immersion dude.
