Game Title: Final Fantasy VI (GBA version)
Your name: Sander van Leth
Pretty or ugly: pretty
Description: starts at 0:13.

The music itself, and also the "vocal" track along it makes this one of the most memorable moments in Final Fantasy VI. Simply gorgeous. .

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: Battlefield: Bad Company
Your name: Lennart
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Pay attention to the audio when the player takes hits or fires a weapon. Also the sounds in the distance sound muffled and distorted. Really nice. .

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. .

Game Title: Mafia
Your name: Tim Hengeveld
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: Mafia is a game that pays a lot of attention to atmosphere. Everything is very authentic, and audio plays an important role in it. As you traverse the city, you will hear various classic '30s jazz songs that really enhance the mood.

Each district has it's own distinct tune (such as the song 'Chinatown my Chinatown' playing in Chinatown), and these songs seamlessly flow together as you're driving around. They are not bound to your car radio like in GTA, but persist even when you're on foot.

Aside from that, the ambient sounds, voice acting and sound effects are also top-notch. The sound of seagulls and waves when you get close to the ocean, the sound of the clutch as you're driving around – it all fits perfectly. .

Game Title: Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Your name: Lennart
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: The sound of this game is not only horrible but also very repetitive. After playing this for more than 10 minutes you won't be able to get it out of your head. And believe me, you don't want it there! .

Game Title: Killer 7
Your name: Ramana Kleyn
Pretty or ugly: Pretty
Description: FIrst things first: this is a great game. A lot of thought went in to it and it really shows. This doesn't mean that it's a game that's fun all the time. And that's because the designers didn't mean for it be. A lot of time is spent disorientating players and making them feel uncomfortable. The audio really supports this. The music tracks are varied and mostly enjoyable. However sound effects can be incredibly jarring at times and seem very much digital and unreal thus supporting the rest of the design. The choice to give each character but one sentence that is said every time an enemy is killed is at first glance an odd decision and one that could make the game highly irritating (ex. Bloody Roar Primal Fury) but it only adds to differentiate between characters and make them seem all the more surreal. .

Game Title: Bloody Roar – Primal Fury
Your name: Ramana Kleyn
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: This is definitely an example of Ugly audio. Why? Well the main problem is that it's terribly irritating. All the background music is terrible Japanese Arcade Rock. I suppose it adds to the whole arcady feel the game has going but it doesn't help me want to play it for longer than absolutely necessary.

Also all the characters have voice clips attached to each attack. This is something you'll see in most fighting games but as this is pretty much a button masher you'll be hearing a lot of "ai ai ai ai ai etc." .
