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…

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.

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.

Duke Nukem – Time to kill

Game Title: Duke Nukem – Time to kill
Your name: Michelle Reints
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: I played this game in the early days and I liked it very much. Except for the fact that the character always makes (now I call it annoying) sounds when you are playing. Example: if he sees a toilet, he gets in front of it and says "Aaahh, much better" out loud.

This continues trough the game and whatever you do, if you are running or shooting at enemies, he will say a sentence. It was pretty funny to hear in the beginning but after playing a while you get bored of hearing the less variety of quotes he says.

The second thing is also the voice in game, the voice of Duke when he gets hit by some enemies. He says 2 things: "ooh" and "aah".

And when he gets shot a several times in a row, well, …you get my point.

Description: It starts with the first sound the game makes.. My ears.. help!

The tunes are annoying, and I'm glad that I didn't have to hear that as a parent while your children play that game with the sound too loud. Thank god for better music in games nowadays o/

The Incredible Machine

Game Title: The Incredible Machine
Your name: Emiel Bransen
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The music: Very unfitting and annoying. The game is a puzzle game, so you would expect relaxing background music or no music at all. The tune repeats every 20 seconds and works on your nerves after 30 seconds.

The SFX: Explosions sound like opening a cola bottle under pressure, and the box that opens at 0.19 sounds like a fart. The abused cat in the video doesn´t seem to make any sound at all!

The original version of this game didn´t have any sound effects at all, but only had the same annoying soundtrack!

Morrowind

Game Title: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Your name: Erik van Wees
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Notice how every step and jump you make sound the same on every type of ground (except water). It has no destinction between walking / jumping on grass, stone, mudd or any other type of ground.

Another bad aspect of the Game Sound is that every hit you do or take sounds exactly the same. So hits from arrows, axes, swords and others sound the same. A case of bad Game Sound to me…

Robocop (nes)

Game Title: Robocop (nes)
Your name: Wesley Schouten
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The background music doesn't really fit the "theme".

It's some kind of happy tune, while you are walking around and shooting and beating people up.

The sound effects for the actions seem out of place (or just totally random).
