I'm getting pretty close to doing that right now because of the song in This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&hl=en&v=kUr9e0KIrJ4&fmt=18) 3:52 onward.
If you did play a video game just for its soundtrack, what was it, and did you enjoy it in the end?

I wasn’t sold on Modern Warfare 2 but the soundtrack is amazing and the main reason I stuck with it. I would have enjoyed the game much less if it wasn’t for the music.

Touhou games. The music is what made me start :p
Seriously though, it's amazing music for every stage and boss fight.

Silent Hill's music and atmospheric sounds in general are always the big selling point for me in SH games xD!

Final Fantasy 8. I'd play it again to just hear the Balamb Garden music or watch some of the FMV's in context.

Totally agree. Nuclear Fusion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWDUCyo23I0&feature=related) from Unthinkable Natural Law got me playing the normal games again xD

I quite like YouTube - Medicine's Theme - Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYBJDVqdQJQ) :3!
YouTube - Sanae's Theme - Faith is for the Transient People (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojp1tSglzdo) of course is my favourite.

When I was younger I used to play the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games for their soundtracks.

I don't think I've ever played a game just based on it's soundtrack. However, soundtracks from games like the Myst series, Grim Fandango, Chrono Cross and a few Final Fantasy's have motivated me to keep playing as it adds to the overall atmosphere and experience.

Vib Ribbon, Parappa the Rapper, Um Jammer Lammy, DDR, Guitar Hero 2/3, and whilst it's not for the soundtrack, my replays of Deus Ex are almost always motivated by me listening to the soundtrack and thinking "Shiz yeah UNATCO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBPK_oXeJgA&feature=related) amg Wan Chai Market (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8xNcTR4BtA) etc."

Akira is like half of those games <3
I thought Lost Odyssey had a nice soundtrack. I probably would have stuck through it regardless, but that certainly helped. Well, and Mack smacking his cheeks during battle. Not a song, but it's a sound!

I don't play games that suck if their music is good, no. If I like the music I'll get the soundtrack from somewhere instead.

A game definitely has to have something besides just a good soundtrack for me to keep playing, though an overall good game can be made even better by having a memorable soundtrack.

I can agree with this. Although I geek out at the entire soundtrack. And the rest of the game for that matter.

I bought Ar Tonelico 2 because of its soundtrack and i'll buy Ar Tonelico 3 for the same reason.
