Who thinks music is an important aspect of gaming?

I personally like having epic music to go with everything.

It gives a game a very pleasant feel.

[benoit489]

I believe FF and Zeldas are excellent examples of music + graphics = 1337 combo.

[cheat-master30]

Not really, since I've played quite a few games with no music whatsoever. It is a nice thing to have thought, and I personally prefer the music without lyrics...

and I personally prefer the music without lyrics...

*cough*lamesonicsongs*cough*"inhisworld"emomoan*cough*

yeah, I agree with no lyrics.

[one_eye]

I personally like some lyrics, like FFVIII's 'Eyes on Me' and FFXII's 'Kiss me Goodbye'

I like the music an awful lot in games. It's actually gameplay that matters, but music is certainly what I take into consideration. The games I play have a nice atmosphere when the right music is in place.

SM64 music really went well with the game. The BBH main theme captured the environment's feelings, and the Merry-go-round theme had that carnival grip.

Also, in the Robot Storm mod for CNC RA2 YR, I find myself attracted to the music. Even though I'm not playing the mod, I still like to listen to the music pack that came as a separate download on the site. So, yeah, music means a lot to me.

As for the lyrics thing, I can agree. To an extent. Most often, I prefer to play a game without lyrics. But for a while there in the past, I was listening to Metallica while playing RA2.

Check this music atmosphere out w/ RS gameplay:

Music is one of the things that you need in SUM games *cough*Yoshi's Island*cough*. I mean think about it if music wasn't in all games F.E.A.R wouldn't have it scaryness ,Mario it's pleasantness, Zelda it's epicness and many more

[cheat-master30]

Super Mario Galaxy has great music...

Thats the ending of FF XII

The music is really good. I like it a lot.

The entire game has really good music actually....


Me and a fewbuddies are thinking of making a game, and the first thing I said was: 'I'm doing the music' So far, we haven't started, but, I've already got some good music.

[GenericMan121]

I think music is a very important part in gaming. SSBB shows you how well music can be done.

Though, in hand-held games, I rarely play with music, usually my iPod in my ears.

[cheat-master30]

Not even when playing Kirby games?

[nickyivyca]

I usually don't decide a game by the music, but between a game with bad music and an almost exactly the same game with good, music, I would like the one with good music.

[NintenDan]

And I listen to my cheap imitation of an iPod nano. Yee haw......

And I like SMG music, ultra cool.

[cheat-master30]

So true Nintendan.

The best way to experience handheld game music is with ear phones. You can hear all the tunes playing at once and in perfect balance.

[one_eye]

So, did anyone listen to the music?

Anyway, Golden Sun and FFXII RW have the best handheld music so far, console, FFXII, Brawl and Samurai/Dynasty Warriors

[benoit489]

^ I listened... it was actually really good, even with the singing.

I need to try that... except listening to some music (Mario and Luigi Partners in Time) would basically depress the hell out of who was listening to it...

[Bizzaree]

It depends for me. Music Has to be good on any system i play on (maybe excluding the atari 2600). But anything ps2 and up has to have somewhat decent graphics in my opinion.

[Naruto bowserman]

i remember talking to my friend about guitar hero, and he's like, "yeah the music's really important too."

I junt stood there with my wouth open and said,"No, Really? I didnt notice!"

He can be so gullible sometimes :P
