The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
One thing that is often not good enough to satisfy gamers in a game is the soundtrack. What is your favourite type of soundtrack? What types of music should be used for what types of games? Should futuristic racers like F Zero X have techno soundtracks or heavy rock? Should adventure games like Zelda have classical soundtracks? What type of music do you like in your games?
What brought this on was the realisation one day, that I did not listen to the game soundtrack on most games after having heard the full range of sounds. I noticed that for nearly all my games I listened to CD whilst playing the games. What I listened to the most was Bon Jovi and Oasis. Is it the good tunes and the guitars? Is it something else?
I think that game developers should pay more attention to the sounds in games. Often the graphics are wonderful and a lot of time and effort are spent on them. But rarely is the soundtrack good enough to keep me listening for long. What do you think? What is it that spurs you on to listen to a particular soundtrack for a game or a CD (or tape or vinyl or MP3 etc)?
Frankly I do not think that enough is done when it comes to the music and sound effects on games nowadays. Lastly what games do you think have the best soundtrack? My favourite is actually FIFA97. Worms was also quite good. What is your opinion. My only hope is that the developers actually read forums like this and find out what the gamers themselves want.

Oh look at that! People replied!
Punk Rock for racers, definitely. I would prefer it on all games, but racers will do.
Ortega: How CAN you play MP3s AND play a game at the same time at decent quality? What speed is your PC? When I'm playing MP3s my PC can barely handle Internet Explorer!

when playing games on my PC i just listen to MP3s through Winamp. So it would be a waste of space concentrating on filling up the game with music. I would rather have some longer FMVs.
