Hedgehog Launch

Game Title: Hedgehog Launch
Your name: Adriaan
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: Well, there's the upgrade menu song that's really terrible and annoying, especially when you are having a lack of money, still pissed of your bad last round and then hear this happy song. When the game starts, you get the rock song which is cool… when you're going fast and doing great. But that's almost never the case. The sound which occurs when you hit one of those bars makes no sense, the sound of your rockets is sonething you can barely hear. And then there's the score window which also gives you a happy feeling even when your score ain't that happy.

Frustrating, in the end. .

Resident evil

Game Title: Resident evil
Your name: Bor Walch
Pretty or ugly: Ugly as f*ck
Description: Well this is a classic. And a good one at it.

Unfortunately the audio in this game is one of the worst ever.
Especially the voice acting is horrible.
It's all very staccato and extremely dull.
As if the voice actors we're half asleep and trying to overact at the same time.
Capcom has come a long way, but the voice acting still ain't very good.

Halo

Game Title: Halo
Your name: Jochem Schut
Pretty or ugly: ugly
Description: – The voices of the aliens are not believable. They're too high and they sound to stupid. When an alien race invades the earth I believe them to be dangerous and cunning, these voices are nothing like it.

  • Also the voices of the aliens do not even sound slightly scary. This disrupts the gameplay because I do not see them as a threat. Most of the times I'll just stand before them and shoot while I stand still while I should be running all over the place.
  • The voices of the aliens are more funny or corny then scary, this gives me a ridiculous feeling about the game which tends me to quit earlier then normally.
  • Aliens talking english? No alien talks english not even if they encountered the human kind before…
  • Nearly no sound or music, which kicks down the immersion of the game incredibly.
  • Because of some lack in the gameplay I wasn't grabbed by the game, and the lack of the music didn't really help…

Zuma Deluxe

Game Title: Zuma Deluxe
Your name: Sander
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: In this example of Zuma Deluxe (previously featured as "pretty example") you see that something unexpected happens what the designers did not foresee. The player manages to get a "combo x12″, which is quite extraordinary, and there are no new intervals for the combo sound. Sounds funny, the repetitive slam.

Not a 10 at the scale of ugly, but funny anyway!

Panzer Elite

Game Title: Panzer Elite
Your name: student
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: – No background sound! These tanks drive around on a planet that maybe resembles Earth, but where there are no other sound sources other than fighting tanks.

- Bad tank sound! These aren't really tanks, these are lawnmowers in disguise! When they speed up, they simply sound twice as loud!

- Bad voice acting. The first thing you hear when you start a mission is a voice, most likely from one of the developers. Then another voice starts yelling at you, which doesn't stop throughout the rest of the game!

- Bad sound mix! The sound of the loading of the cannon is very loud, as opposed to the actual firing of the cannon, which sounds more like a hit on a cardboard box!

- But the best sound (not) is when you drive over a tree, which sounds like stepping on a twig.

ps: the sound of the sequal is a lot better! .

Revolution X

Game Title: Revolution X
Your name: student
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description:
- The music (and Aerosmith) hasn't really got anything to do with this game
- The sound of the menu too loud
- Due to the volume of the music, you can hardly hear the sound effects.
- The music is monotonous because of the short loop(s).
- There's no sound when the player is hit by a rocket.
- The few sounds that are present don't really fit the actions. .

Project Nomads

Game Title: Project Nomads
Your name: student
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: This game features bad voice acting. The voice itsself is not that bad and probably even right for this character. However, the intonation and how the words are stressed is horrible: "When you pick-up an artifact, it is STORED in your … BELT!" :( .
