Funny. I would completley disagree. I thought the music in Fallout 3 was very good and great for creating immersion. Though I guess this is why music is considered a very subjective thing.ethaninja said:
Anyways, I'm actually struggling to think of a game in which I really thought the music was terrible. This is because for most games I can pick out at least a few songs I thought were decent so I hesitate to say their music was bad. Otherwise, bad music in games is just forgettable so I can't actually remember any terrible music. So I'm going to have to say S.T.S.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky. The music wasn't bad, in fact I thought there were some very good immersive songs in it. But this installment had some stupid "fight" music that would play whenever you got into prolonged gunfights. This had no place in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games and really didn't go along with the game general feel. Because they, in my opinion, worked against the games immersion, I have to say that they are bad examples of video game music.
See this is an example of a game with just forgettable music. It's not necessarily bad, just really dull. Which is, like you said, pretty bad when you compare it to the original game. Though personally I think these two songs are the best example of the difference:aj_hix36 said:
You can tell they didn't put much effort into the music in the DS game.
There [em]is[/em] an instrumental version. I think I have a copy of it somewhere that I ripped from the PC version...Mirrored Jigsaw said:
And while we're on the subject of kick-ass music with ear-stabbingly bad lyrics: Pretty much anything from NiGHTS.
UberlemonBoy, remember to use youtube= the video code
Here are two videos I found (they're a top 10)

Memorable? No. Hans Zimmer did an unremarkable theme, and then the regular composer just knocked off his sound for the rest of the music.Aura Guardian said:
Yeah, you're way deeper then me. I just want the music to match the mood and rhythm I'm playing at. Still, ignorance is bliss.Durxom said:
(Is it just me or does the "Modern Warfare 2" logo look like the "BF2: Special Forces" logo?)
Does the music in the GTA games count? Except for the original on the PS1, I never liked the music
Duck tales. Only because it's so catchy. Grr.
EDIT: How could I forget "Sonic Boom"? Again, Grr.

Koudelka for the PS1. Absolutely awful. So bad that after the 1st combat I took the disc out and never looked at it again, which is a shame, b/c I'm told it had a good story.
Bayonetta. I've only played the demo and the music featured in that is so horrible it makes me want to shoot myself.
Modern Warfare 2 had some of the best music I've ever heard in a video game. Hans Zimmer at his finest. MW2 and Mass Effect 2, in my opinion, have the best game music I've ever heard. Though, that isn't exactly what this thread is about...

Well, I used to have a pretty good contender for worst video game music. Though there is one game that stands out in my mind:
I realize this is from the NES era, but the bad music isn't about the era. Consider that great games like Mario and Castlevania were both on the NES system and had great music. There is no excuse for Dracula on the NES to have such bad music throughout.
