@Nabil The first one had a predominantly electronic/synth based soundtrack which really added to the futuristic vibe. The problem with 2 and 3 is that they chose to have a Hollywood orchestral soundtrack which just wasn't as effective at creating an atmosphere. They just sounded like standard AAA video game soundtracks, the sort of thing you'd hear on Halo or something. It's just not that original. ME1 did have some orchestral music too, but there was a decent variety of non orchestral music too. Give me an electronic, techno banger like Virmire Ride any day
@@ZanzibarBreeze ME2 was a mixture of both. ME3 was mostly orchestral. Both soundtracks are still great but I agree, the sequels lost the wonderful tone and atmosphere of the first game.
@@ZanzibarBreeze it mirrors the game's design directions. me1 was supposed to be no mans sky with auto generated worlds and all, exploration game but they couldnt do it with 2007 tech (still cant lol) so they cut it down to an usual bioware rpg in baldurs gate fashion. then it was critically acclaimed so they decided to go full on roleplay and space opera and you know the rest
I remember being stuck in a traffic jam in my town. I decided to turn this track on so I could take a shortcut by driving on the walls and roofs of buildings.
I remember the first time I played Mass Effect 2 and did Grunt's loyalty mission. As soon as I saw the thresher maw, I thought "ILLUSIVE MAN! WHERE IS MY MAKO?"
As much as I loved this song in ME1, for me its most memorable moment came early in ME2, when I was exploring the Normandy SR-2. It had been over a year since I played ME1. Entering my captain's cabin for the first time, I was pleased to discover the assortment of mementos from my past life. A slight feeling of bittersweet regret for days gone by passed through me as I recalled Ilos, Noveria, and Virmire. Then, I found the stereo system, and this song started blasting out of it. Even though I was still standing in my cabin in deep space, I felt as though I was charging through the tropical shallows of Virmire in my trusty Mako, rushing into danger to save the galaxy. These are the moments of real immersion that, at least for me, makes Mass Effect one of the best game trilogies of all time.
Hands down one of the best soundtracks in the series! The pace is perfect and the atmosphere just fits so well with it that you can jam to it for hours...literally
Epic music! Когда я услышал этот трек на Вермайре, то сразу подумал что здесь будет развязка игры, сильный трек! В свое время ставил на телефон! Этот лучший трек из Mass Effect!
Great games come with a soul not just shiny graphics, that's what people don't grasp. It may not have the best graphics or gameplay but ME1 is Legendary
The Mako handled like a drunk rhino, Threshers were way too luck-based, and the maps were just too much in the vertical cliff department... ... but I'd be lying if I said that this music isn't awesome and that exploring wasn't a fun thing to do; it really was an immersive element of the game that I enjoyed for the most part in spite of the problems with the Mako planetary exploring segments.
Luke Danger I totally agree with the maps. The mako however isn't too bad actually in my opinion... still I once managed to drive it off the "cliff" on Feros...*sigh*
+Luke Danger I like how messed up the terrain was in ME1. There were places where you really had to examine the terrain and find a way through. It felt realistic to me. I will agree that controlling the Mako is difficult to say the least!
+Luke Danger I didn't mind the Mako except for the planets covered in mountains. Fucking infuriating! id get stuck, mash buttons and end up just bouncing down the mountain like a damn pinball, good times lol
It's like Halo, but where as Halo mixed the military and sense of hope and survival gung-ho sounds with the sci-fi, this song feels like it leans more into the sci-fi by emphasizing more on the techno beats. It's awesome, unique and fitting.
I had a random memory flash of this song playing when I woke up today, very random and so lovely, I had to find out what it was called. Thank you for the share, really brings back lovely memories. Nostalgia is real because it's feelings, they're the most genuine Human things in this Universe.
I love this song so much,I have important it in GTA 5 and driving on the highway :) And I love Wrex,best character of Mass effect 1,2-3 if you keep him alive
This theme will always remind me of how many credits I put into Wrex when i played this as a kid only to lose him because I only followed the main missions and didn´t figure out how to always get Paragorn dialogue options and how I literally dominated Saren only to realise that you can´t beat him there XD And I never really figured out the ablities and squad commands, since I was playing on the Xbox 360, so I was kind of playing on a self-made hard mode without even realising it
Too bad the new Mako in Andromeda won't have weapons. But it makes sense. You can use both hands to drive, or you can use them to aim and shoot. You either needed to make the gun forward facing only, which sacrifices tactical ability, make it like a WW2 tank that had to stop to fire, or have the difficult controls we saw in ME1. Guess they went with the best choice possible.
ARCblooper the dual "joystick" controls on the X-box make it easier to drive and shoot, especially if you'd configured control input for "Russian tank mode". That isn't quite repeatable on a mouse and keyboard. If you look at older tank sims, they had you switch between driver and gunner, making the driver follow a predetermined route while you aimed and fired.
@@Ryder62hun It’s still Virmire ride but they changed it. When you first start the level, the music doesn’t have the techno drum beat until much later in the song. Takes a lot away from what makes this soundtrack so cool.
Eh... isn't the real name "Vampire Ride"? I damn LOVE this theme. I should get an USB drive for my car and play this when driving, WINDOWS OPEN! Such badassery.

Still playing Mass Effect: Trilogy and still get a huge kick of all the music in game. Cant get enough of it. Hackett out.
lol. your fucking awesome man
Thx Jenkins. Hackett out.
Jenkins noooooooooo........
What does Hacket do when he encounters a reaper?
Whacks it out.
Completely agree. Just wish they could have figured out a way to include the Mako at least once or twice in the 2nd & 3rd games
The mission where ME1 remembered “Oh crap we need to put music in a video game!!! Quick, make the best bop in the series!”
ME2 and ME3 had no tracks like this.
This is a techno, space, banger.

I played this song in my car while I'm driving on the highway at night whilst it was pissing down rain hard.
+Cayden1988 It's definitely "Let's get this shit done" music. :)
Awesome!!!
That must have been epic man :D
Aleksa Petrovic Yup! Went offroading haha
Hahaha same. Makes driving feel more like an experience.

Jötunn Illusive man answers "there's no mako, just the Hammerhead bro" (you'll understand this jsut if have ever played the dlc firewalker of me2)
Federico Campisi
I know about the Hammerhead. The upshot of the hammerhead is that it actually does have handling.
And a few shots from the Cerberus Turret made it smoke lol.
Jötunn yeah no kidding did that yesterday lol
I swear now we just have this shitty small shuttle
Always have this blasting in the captain's cabin.

The most badass, and catchiest song in ME

Me too
Couldn't have said it better
Virmire Ride makes any Captain Cabin's worth exploring!

This is the song when I run to my car when I get off work XD
Well, I am definitely will put this in my car when ill rent it for some time.
Perfect if you're running late. Cop pulls you over because you're speeding, hears the music, lets you go.
@@lilernie6 he also aktivates the sirens and gives you an Escort lol
Great games come with a soul not just shiny graphics, that's what people don't grasp. It may not have the best graphics or gameplay but ME1 is Legendary

Got to the tallest mountain/hill and you can see the area is actually a square.Looked very out of place with the mountain jpeg.
Tht baby could climb and kept climbing gotta love the mako..

We’re making it out from Virmire with this one 🗣️💥
You can see it on the Mako! "M35" ... MASS EFFECT 5 CONFIRMED!!
Mass Effect 35 Revenge of the Reapers
... I don’t g-...wait... 🤔.... 😱
Mass Effect 36: The Biotic awakens. Mass Effect 37: The Last Spectre.

@@nrdZfilmZproductionZ attack of the council, revenge of the udina
Vakarian: a Mass Effect movie
Love that old school 2000's cool badass spacey techno we don't get anymore
I personally think this is the best combat and ride theme of all time (well based on the mass effect trilogy)
The way Mass Effect 3 re-arranges the song for Battle for Palaven only adds to the awesomeness.
HOLD THE LINE!
Shepard is always just in time!
ENEMY'S EVERYWHERE
I had a random memory flash of this song playing when I woke up today, very random and so lovely, I had to find out what it was called. Thank you for the share, really brings back lovely memories. Nostalgia is real because it's feelings, they're the most genuine Human things in this Universe.
Still enjoy the first game the most after replaying all of them.
this one an noveria are my most loved music from the game.
my favorite song in the game! really has a cyberpunk vibe
People use the term "Extended" a bit too loosely when it comes to Mass Effect.
It was always time to kick some major ass when this came on. Mass Effect best trilogy ever.
Hold the line!
When I turn this song in my car it is suddenly able to ride on the walls of buildings and pass impossible inclines.
goddamn thresher maws, whenever the Mako is riding on flat ground i fear for my life
hey hey ningen sucker you haven’t found the one where you fight in a valley? Hmmm.
My favourite thresher was the one beyond the map border
Epic.
I've lost shields
Hold the line!
Every time i hear this, I always think of shepard's bouncy jog animation when holstered.
I really hope this and other Mako songs are available in ME4 captain's cabin radio🙏
2020 !!!!!!!!!
So THIS is the reason why ME3's Battle for Palaven is so epic.
Mako forever.
This is my favorite theme in Mass Effect even though the entire soundtrack of the whole trilogy is awesome.
Mass Effect community isn't that big, but it's fanatical. BioWare could have kept making millions out of it. They slaughtered their own golden hen.
thanks for this extended version
Well, this is playing whenever I drive
Wonder why they completely stopped making this genre of music for ME2 and ME3
Legendary music and mission, as for me
Holy shit, this is badass!
I love this song so much,I have important it in GTA 5 and driving on the highway :)
And I love Wrex,best character of Mass effect 1,2-3 if you keep him alive
+stéphane Noel You are a monster if you kill wrex
Now this is the ride!!!
I remember playing this level for the first time, and I always thought that the part at 0:57 sounded like a sheep
Virmire Ride "FORRRREVA"
This theme will always remind me of how many credits I put into Wrex when i played this as a kid only to lose him because I only followed the main missions and didn´t figure out how to always get Paragorn dialogue options and how I literally dominated Saren only to realise that you can´t beat him there XD

Good song to play when off roading in my toyota highlander
из всех серий масс эффекта эта лучший трек !
Oh yes the bouncy mako funny virmire music
Weird, there are no sheep on Virmire...
A nearly peaceful place.
We're about to do this shit again bois
I don't know Shepard... Help me out here... This guys are SAVING KROGAN!!!
the immersiveness of ME1 cannot be equalled by the sequels
am i the only one who's hearing the meows?
Not at all. They do stand out in this track.
I thought it always sounded like a sheep
me remastered coming bois
I miss the Mako.

if you do it wrong Wrex will die. when i played me 1 Wrex survived and i imported him to me 2 and Mass Effect 3
Does anybody else hear a goat in the background? Like at 1:03
Nop
2 people did not make it on Virmire.
Wrex doesn't make it off of Virmire if you do it wrong. when i played me 1 wrex lived and i imported him to me 2 and mass effect 3 alive
That person was Wrex.
yes it is when you have to save Ashley Williams
you mean kaiden?
