Hey. Now here is something. Think of Tony Hawks. Good music is played on it. Right? So what kind of music would you like on a racing game? Or a platformer? I think games need good background music to make you want to play the game more.

I would like rock music on some particularly hard boss in a game. And in a racing game I would have fast music to go with the speed of the racers. Tony Hawks is a prime example of good music in the type of game it goes with. The 3rd version on X-Box will let you download your own music on to the game. It might be a good addition but it may make people download a Hearsay song for example onto some particularly spooky or fast paced level.

Some tunes I really like. Like the heavy metal sort of music on F-Zero-X. It is fast paced for a fast paced game and it also sounds quite cool.

Some tunes really get to me. Like some of the ones in No Mercy. I eventually just switch them off which makes the game more boring but I hte those rubbishy tunes. All wrestling games in my opinion have bad music. Smack Down 2 has terrible music.

In my opinion, good music is needed to make a game flow. What would be the kind of music you would have in a RPG, Racing, Fighting, etc? And do you think the new Tony Hawk X-Box idea is a good or bad innovation?

Thanks 4 reading, Afro.

No but I have a way of recording music so it plays on my TV. And while it is playing I could play a game.
