Honestly that's a tough question to answer. There are things that I personally think wouldn't be nearly as good without their score or soundtrack, such as the LOTR trilogy. That's a trilogy where the music really adds to the depth and emotion of a scene and it loses a lot without it.
Halo is different because it's an interactive medium in which what people remember the most in general is the gameplay, which Bungie nailed. I think Halo would be just as popular with an inferior (not necessarily bad) score because the gameplay and story were solid.
As long as a game has a solid story with great gameplay it will most likely be remembered and become a franchise, though obviously having a great score helps.
