Game Title: Fifa 2006
Your name: Björn Spies
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: It’s an example of the bad commentary system within this game. The commentator is still speaking about the referee getting ready for the match, while they are already playing for about 4 minutes (Fifa playtime). At the 5th minute it said “And here is the kick off”.
This is a technical aspect of the audio, but next to that the sound itself is very static and emotionless. An important aspect of football commentary is the dynamic and expressive sound, which Fifa messed up bigtime. .
Game Title: Jurassic War
Your name: Berry
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The voice acting in this game is really annoying, every unit only has a couple of different voices. .

Game Title: Redcat Spookkasteel
Your name: Rick van Ginkel
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Terrible Dutch voice acting, need I say more? .
Game Title: Gish
Your name: Brian
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: For a blob, Gish doesn't make a lot of noise. The times that he does, they are unconvincing, bland and repetative. The mediocre soundtrack doesn't make up for much either. .
Game Title: Anno 1701
Your name: Pieter Dirk Greeuw
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Whenever a "disaster" occurs in the game a loud overwhelming sound plays even if the disaster doesn't threaten you directly. When the disaster is no longer on your screen the sound fades away but as soon as you go near it with your FoV you hear the sound again. Also it plays so loud you can hardly hear the other sounds that effect you directly. .
Game Title: Candy Mountain Massacre
Your name: Ronald Houtermans
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The sounds that the enemies make are not fitting to their character. The music playing in the background is..not enough in the background. It is merely working on my nerves and not providing a 'relaxed' game experience. The gun sounds are cheap, they sound dull.

Game Title: X-Blades
Your name: Sander van Leth
Pretty or ugly: UGLY!
Description: Incredibly poor voice acting.
You can't see it in the youtube vid, but some of the subtitles are different than what is said. .
Game Title: Freelancer
Your name: Tim Hengeveld
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: This is more a case of bad audio DESIGN than bad audio per sé. In Freelancer you can travel from planet to planet, and enter bars to find quests. These bars are usually populated by 4 or 5 questgivers, who represent different factions.
The problem is that they all say the same thing over and over again, often even using the same sound file, making everyone sound the same – even on just one planet, let alone the other 20. The above is a recording of a particularly bad spree where the main character even utters the exact same randomly triggered response to the same questions three times in a row. .
