Was there ever a time where you simply muted the television because the musicwas so bad that it deafened your ears?

Im kind of curious seeing as how I never once in my life muted a game solely for it's music.

It must have been Metroid. It wasn't bad, but it made me feel uncomfortable. It was really creepy.

I would have to say kill.switch. it's stupid "spy" music didn't fit the game. Also NHL 2K6 because the alternative music sucked.

I wasn't fond of Final Fantasy XII's soundtrack, I'm used to the music really getting me into everything, battles in particular. This time around it was just way too mellow the whole way through.

The most depressing part of it was, they this one guy in the company, Naoshi Mizuta, who is the natural successor to Uematsu, yet he didn't get the FFXII job. He does great battle music.

I honestly didn't like many of Mass Effects tracks. It's not the worst ever, but I just didn't like it.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.....if ever there was a reason why all games should have seperate sliders between in-game sound effects / dialogue and music....this was it.

I would have to go with the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat. Its basically the same "ERRRR ERRR" sound that a generic alarm clock makes, but with an odd beat to it.

Devil May Cry 3 had terrible music. So bad, in fact, that I returned the game, despite being a fan of the original.

And I'd agree with the above poster... almost every single Sega Genesis game I played had horrible sound... remember the sound chip? It was like 5 year old technology...

I think Legend of Dragoon is almost unbeatable....the only tracks that sounded ok have been totally unfitting,the rest was awful....it ruined the whole game.

Chrono Cross. The battle music made my ears bleed. I stopped playing Chrono Cross half way through because of the awful music.

You're the first person I've seen say that CC has bad music. I liked it myself, but I think Yasunori Mitsuda isn't very good at making battle music. At least not lately...his older stuff is good.

Actually exept the battle music,the CC Soundtrack is in my all-time Top 5...and I played MANY games.

Blue Dragon's battle music. Which is a shame, because Nobuo Uematsu's music for all other parts of this game is his usual stellar stuff.

I liked it. Didn't it have a Van Halen tune on it. I think the game had Jump in it. I really don't remember cause I havn't played any SNES games in a long time.

Look no further than the horrendous soundtracks of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. They are the only games I have ever had to mute while playing them.

I don't know if it's the worst but my least favorite is Burnout 3... awful songs (New Found Glory lol) and an even worse DJ
