Title: Horrible Video Game Music
Post by: Tengu on October 31, 2012, 09:04:56 PM

Have you ever been playing a game, and then a track comes on that's SO BAD that you feel you have no choice but to mute the TV?


Or so bad that you outright stopped playing? Well, I know I have. Why don't we all share these.

I'm gonna start with something rather common, and say Quints theme from MMII

The only music in RM4MI that I really don't like. I tend to rush through this with hell wheel all the time. I do sometimes turn the volume down slightly though.

There's also one official stage in LittleBigPlanet that I found really annoying and turned the music down at one time when backtracking for all items. Loved the rest of the game though.

To be fair, it's not really horrible (love that guitar solo), but for a final boss theme, man is it dull.
Especially when you've been fighting the same guy for like twenty five minutes. Twice.

Certainly better than the GBA version of the game though. That just uses the regular, shitty boss music! Da hell?


Oh yeah, speaking of the GBA version...

I love this song, don't get me wrong, but c'mon now... It's not exactly what comes to mind when I'm being chased by a GIANT FUGGING SAW.
The only way it could be worse is if they gave one of Wily's castles the Care Bears music.

I think you're overreacting a bit there alice. The songs are not that bad.

For this week's bad music choice of mine is this

(click to show/hide)

I don't like this mini boss theme at all. It just doesn't give that battle feeling that the one from the original zx game had.

And Maybe this one as well.

(click to show/hide)

If this is supposed to sound like this boss theme, then you are doing it wrong. Like the reason stated above it doesn't give that feeling of fighting a difficult opponent at all. It sounds more like a regular enemy theme, to me.

Holy cripes, if I wanted the soundtrack to rubbing my manhood against a group of cacti, this would be it.





Astoundingly, the "cover" in Puyo 7 only made it worse. God, it's even more ear-bleedingly high pitched.

Often when songs from classics get ported to gba... the soundtrack gets horribly butchered in the process.

B-but he meant the bad music in the 32x version.
I mean it has some sort of merit because they did pull off some really nice-sounding instruments (just listen to the creepy melody section of "Dark Halls") ... but it still sounded like garbage compared to the PC version.

People will probably disagree with me over this one ...

The possibly worst music in any Contra game I ever heard, possibly.

I think the aim for the original track was to freak the player out a bit (the entire track composing of weird sounds and rumbling) and give the fight a sense of urgency.

Slowing it down and using a really crappy soundfont ruined that.
