Your name: Sven Boers
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Battle music.

It's just awesome! why? Because!

Na, I really like it. Mainly because it just suits the situation where its used.

It just gives you a feeling of triumph and excitement. Something that's needed in a battle.

That freakin sound really gets on your nerves, cus it goes on and on and on and on and…

You almost want to give it a potion just to kill the sound.

Anno 1602

Game Title: Anno 1602
Your name: Gerard Bossenbroek
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: However I liked to play this game, there are some very annoying sound effects in it. Most building sounds are just some odd clicks or sounds that make no sense, and in the background there are annoying sounds like the one of some kind of bird, that always make the same noise…

Legend of Zelda – A Link to the past

Game Title: Legend of Zelda – A Link to the past
Your name: Roos Schultheiss
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: I think it's really annoying how the soundtrack of the battle and the sound of Link swinging his sword gets really repetative and annoying. I know it's an old game but still I think it's annoying as hell. The part I mean is between 0:50 and 2:10.

World of Warcraft

Game Title: World of Warcraft
Your name: Daan van Zwieten
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: World of Warcraft has some pretty nice music, but Stormwind's music is one of those which I really dislike. For some reason I get the expression it tries to be epic but fails to do so. It just tries to hard.

Donkey Kong Country 2

Game Title: Donkey Kong Country 2
Your name: Daan van Zwieten
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: The music has been made with very natural sounds which suits the game. Besides that, it's a very soothing theme for a level which was very hard and frustrating back in those days :P

One of the most memorable DKC2 music themes.

World of Warcraft

Game Title: World of Warcraft
Your name: Michelle Reints
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: This is an example of how nicely composed the music in World of Warcraft is. The people behind the music did a great job.

At some continents in World of Warcraft I just get goosebumps from the music that is playing, in each continent the music is different. It perfectly fits the environment where you are walking trough and the feeling that you get.

The way the music changes is also a good point, if you are riding/walking/flying trough one continent to the other, (which is different) you can hear the music change to something else that fits that specific environment.

(Example: Ghostly town – creepy soundtrack).

realMyst

Game Title: realMyst
Your name: Roos Schultheiss
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: I like the sound in this game because it blends over so nice. Special items have sounds/music too (like you can see with the book) this is nice because you actually hear youre onto something, I like this in games if it's done well. There are a lot of sound puzzles in the game too they are also done very well.

Myst III: Exile

Game Title: Myst III: Exile
Your name: Gerard Bossenbroek
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: The story in Myst is very important. In this part of the walkthrough you just learned that you have been trapped in some puzzle world. For me this was the first Myst game I played, and I was quite young then. I remembered that the puzzles where quite hard, and that the music gave me the shivers some times. (Also because I thought this escaped weirdo could be around any corner). The audio is brilliantly. There is not very much music, but the little music and the sound effect are really pulling you into this world, and strongly increase your experience.

Command & Conquer red alert

Game Title: Command & Conquer red alert
Your name: Hans
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Do not mistake me, this one of my favorite rts games to play. The music if great but the sound effects. There's so much happening on the screen and all those different sounds make it quite chaotic. They could've eased up on that.
