MGS4 and Uncharted come close, and the music mix at the end credits of Killzone3 is awesome, but it's definately not as good as in the movies yet. Movies have it a lot easier ofcourse, matching the score exactly to what happens on screen. And with games dialogue often gets drowned out. Sure it's positionally accurate but that's not always the best way to go.
The sound gave me goosebumps several times during the movie, something only one scene in mgs4 managed to do. Being in the storm in Master and Commander has also not been matched by any game.
I wholly agree with this review at blu-ray.com and have never seen sound in a game described this way
"If you couldn't get enough of Daft Punk's magnetic score before, just wait until it grabs hold of you in the comfort of your own home theater via Disney's flawless, top-tier DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track. The French duo's pulsing electonica, the very heartbeat of Legacy's drama and action, seems to emanate from every inch of the room, effortlessly filling the soundfield, raising hair on arms and necks with convincing precision, and taking full advantage of every speaker in the room. Yet the music never overwhelms or overpowers the mix, settling in amongst the gladiatorial chaos of the Grid. The LFE channel devotes its attention to bass beats and explosions, to equally rousing ends; the rear speakers tackle each beep with the same tenacity as the ever-present, ever-engaging atmospheric effects, acoustic touches and environmental ambience that populate Flynn's virtual world; and dialogue remains clean, clear, intelligible and perfectly prioritized from beginning to end, leaving little doubt as to whether the mix has been meticulously crafted or haphazardly tossed together. Cross-channel pans are transparent, directionality is eerily accurate, and dynamics are rousing and enveloping. In fact, the whole of the experience is incredibly immersive and there wasn't a moment -- not a single moment -- that I didn't feel entrenched in Legacy's two worlds."
I'm looking forward to watching or rather listening to "The way back" on blu-ray, Weir's new movie after Master and Commander and according to the review the soundtrack is the biggest star again.
