Music Critique?

Life Or Death: Your Choice is a game project I was working on a while back, and decided I'd work on it simultaneously to all my other work (no surprise there). And I wanted some critique on the music, since it's the first time I've composed my own music for a game project.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST, but here's all the music appearing in the game so far:
Your Choice (Title Screen)
Standoff (Opening Cutscene)
Double Dragons (Stage 1)
Mad Forest (Stage 2)
A Place to Rest (Town-1)
Ground of Thievery (Bandit Camp Sub-Missions) [labeled here as "Vampira Slayer"]
Subhuman (Elemental Battle Sub-Missions) [labeled here as "We Are the Cheetahmen"]
Feel the Fear (Swamp Sub-Missions)
Stone Cold Justice! (Cave Sub-Missions)
Rock the Battlefield (Battlefield Sub-Missions)
Darkness, Heed Me (Creepy Sub-Missions)
Divine Bloodlines (Stage 3)
Tears of Blood (Battle Sequence)
Flowering Night (Hanzo Gaiden, Stage 1)
Cross of Swords (Boss A)
Decisive Battle (Boss B)
Darkness Rises (Boss C)
The Last Stand (Boss D)

The game makes reference to the following games/etc. with the music:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (Standoff, Tears of Blood)
Double Dragon (Double Dragons)
Bruce Pearson's Arkansas Traveler (A Place to Rest)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Ground of Thievery)
Cheetahmen II (Subhuman)
Castlevania (Darkness Rises)

INSTRUMENTS USED:
Your Choice - Electric piano
Standoff - Various string instruments, snare drum, tambourine, crash cymbals
Double Dragons - Various string instruments, drum-kit
A Place to Rest - Piano, bandoneon, snare drum, bass drum, hand-claps, crash cymbals
Ground of Thievery - Various string instruments, crystal synth, church bell, drum-kit
Subhuman - Various string instruments, bass guitar, electric guitar, drum-kit
Tears of Blood - Piano, bass guitar, electric guitar, drum-kit
Darkness Rises - Piano, electric organ, church organ, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbals, choir vocals, various string instruments

I'll update this list as more songs get finished. :)

LATEST UPDATE: Darkness Rises added.

Sorry if it's a bother, but I could really use some critique on these tracks, to know if anything needs fixed.

Do you have any info on this game of yours? I find that having images, a story and other tid-bits here and there help you come to a decision with regards to the type of music you want. If you have any of the above it would be helpful. I'll give the tracks a listen however I don't think I can be very helpful unless my eyes have an image to go with the tunes that you have selected for it.

Well, I don't have any current ones, as I am actually rebuilding the game from the ground up, since there was an unfixable error in the original file. If you want, I can give you outdated screens, but it might not help all that well.

If the screen still represent you base-idea then by all means, it'll be helpful. If not , I'll still see them anyways  :)
