Which iconic ex-Rare composer do you think has composed the better musical gameography?

[Notable titles]

David: Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, 3, Tropical Freeze, Snake Pass, Yooka Laylee, Yooka Laylee & the Impossible Lair

Grant: Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Yooka Laylee, A Hat in Time

Can't beat DKC music. David Wise.

I do like Grant Kirkhope, I really do. But to me, I feel like he is the videogame counterpart of Danny Elfman. Where each score sounds somewhat similar. Not knocking him at all.
But David Wise to me has shown better range. Even in the DK Tropical Freeze alone there was just a great variety. Just my opinion.

David Wise easily. I dont even think Grant is on the same level for this to be a contest.

I'm going with Grant Kirkhope. FYI, he did the music for Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning also, if anyone didn't know. I do think Donkey Kong Country has some of the greast music in video games, but I personally really like Grant a lot. Just love what he composes.

Both are pretty good at their work, but David Wise has the edge imo.

Both great, but David Wise is just amazing imo.

David Wise easily.

David Wise used delay on the SNES, which wasn't even hardware supported by the SNES. Tropical Freeze OST plays in a whole new dimension from a composition and interactive music point of view. Many tracks of the Tropical Freeze soundtrack have up to 10 different versions for different locations of a level. This is insane. Mediocre games like Tamarin or Star Ghost were massively enhanced by the soundtrack of Wise.

I'm gonna have to go with David as well, mostly for how incredible his work on the Donkey Kong Country games is, but Kirkhope is no slouch in my opinion, his score for Banjo Kazooie for example is still a favourite of mine.
