close the door turn the volume down a
bit and breathe deeply because this is
gonna get annoying fast welcome to
watchmojo.com
and she’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten worst pieces of video
game music
for this list we’ve chosen the
soundtracks in gaming that are regarded
as annoying horrendous or just
unbearable to listen to our choices are
based on a mixture of fan votes their
global infamy among gamers and our own
personal choices prepare yourselves
people
number 10 town music King’s Quest 5
exploring various towns and markets is
often an essential part of any fantasy
game as it’s usually a place where
equipment can be picked up interesting
dialog is exchanged or where various
quests can be started or ended come on
in look around let me know if you’re
interested in anything normally such a
location would have soothing music to go
with it in order to inspire a sense of
relaxation as opposed to this well we
hope fans of this game have a high pain
threshold because the repetition of what
sounds like a cat constantly hitting the
same notes on a pixelated church organ
is something we can only bear for so
long number nine central city sonic
chronicles the Dark Brotherhood now this
location wasn’t plucked straight out of
thin air it’s actually been used as a
battleground in several Sonic the
Hedgehog games it’s had its musical ups
and downs for sure but on a good day the
level can contain some pretty rockin
tunes
however it kind of turns out that
Bioware’s contract with Sega expired
towards the end of development of this
title
and since Bioware wanted to focus their
efforts on Dragon Age Origins the music
that remained here was a placeholder
MIDI track so there’s no sense of
thrills to be found and the constant
high-pitched note starts to grate on the
senses after a very short while you done
messed up big their sonic old pal and it
won’t be the last time I’m break stage
the Back to the Future
the games so critically panned by fans
and players alike including the film’s
screenwriter we didn’t think the music
would be anything to brag about we just
didn’t expect the bar to be dropped so
low this NES title based on the
acclaimed cinematic hit only as a couple
of songs one of which believe it or not
is a sped-up version of Huey Lewis and
the news is power of love initially you
might get away with thinking that’s not
so bad
at least for the first five seconds then
it just goes on and on and on and on and
on until you come to the horrible
realization that this is the track
that’s going to be playing throughout
the entire game Marty McFly deserves
better than this
number seven title screen The Adventures
of red gravity
how often can you say that just the
opening title music is bad enough to
drive players away not to discourage
people from playing this game starring
or add gravity who with his bruce
campbell ask chin and variety of planets
to explore actually provides one of the
most entertaining sci-fi games ever made
for the nes
but we cannot excuse the music from the
title screen we’re pretty sure that the
more you listen the more your brain
comes closer to melting
prepare to be drowned out by random
gibberish bursting from your speakers to
the point where you’re questioning
whether or not you accidentally smoked
something or you’re just going through
one hell of a nervous breakdown
number six crazy chocobo final fantasy
13 to put the greens and let up go
keep us on the show
this vast series always offers a variety
of immortal characters incredible
storytelling and of course those lovable
giant chickens that we all want to have
as our steed obviously the creator’s
thought that for the sequel to Final
Fantasy 13 the huge feathered icon
needed to be updated their solution
mixed together the light-hearted chocobo
theme with heavy metal obvious choice
right
what follows is actually kind of awesome
for how astoundingly awful it is this
would be welcomed in any other game
except in the very fantasy game you were
trying to pass off as having emotional
depth kinda shot yourselves in the foot
there guys
number five options menu Sonic the
Hedgehog’s spin ball
the blue speedster returns again with
this particular retro installment not
being as kindly received as some of his
other classics sonic themes pinball
might be an okay idea but the transition
to the Genesis definitely wasn’t smooth
sailing you can imagine players perhaps
wanting to adjust the settings in order
to make the gameplay a little easier and
then they open up the options menu and
lo and behold their ears are blown out
by this travesty this an options menu
even need music whatever adjustments you
may have wanted to make we’re pretty
sure that once you heard this they
instantly muted all the music for sake
of their own sanity
number four the sewers Terminator
just because Arnie’s acting was kind of
OneNote doesn’t mean you can make your
in-game soundtrack in the same way the
iconic Terminator made his way onto the
NES only a couple of years after the
chromed up death machine dazzled and
thrilled fans on the big screen
unfortunately Kyle Reese’s mission to
save Sarah Connor wasn’t as epic for
gamers especially when you have a level
as ugly as this with an accompanying
track that quickly turns into a painful
mantra the singular notes are seemingly
endless as you try and grenade your way
out of a damn sewers 10 minutes of this
and you are practically begging to be
terminated number three
Yoshi’s plan Yoshi’s new island
what you thought that all Yoshi were
cute and friendly creatures well you’d
be dead wrong they’re actually little
monstrosity who live to torture
parachuting babies with an orchestra of
what sounds like farts straight out of
the pits from hell
there is no charm in hearing these
miniature dinosaurs chant their theme to
you constantly if anything it’s like
they’re preparing some sort of sacrifice
and this fear bursting tune is their way
of driving their victims to insanity
before ending their existence
okay that got pretty dark but it’s still
really bad remember this game came out
in 2014 what’s their excuse
number two mansion basement resident
evil’ director’s cut
Resident Evil was a big hit for Capcom
so to capitalise on the success of the
first game they decided to release it
the following year with brand new modes
and a completely different soundtrack
however Capcom probably should have kept
the original basement to an intact as
the new version could only be described
as a choir of geese trying to make it to
as it turns out and this is kind of sad
composer Mamoru samara gucci was
starting to lose his hearing around this
time and actually hired a ghostwriter to
compose most of his work were not sure
which one of the two are to blame for
the geese but either way it’s memorable
for all the wrong reasons
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one crazy bus crazy bus not only
is this easily the worst videogame song
ever made but it might also be one of
the worst combinations of concurrent
sounds to ever be conceived by mankind
here let’s have another listen
need we see anymore who composed this a
chihuahua on a keyboard
dddd dddd do you agree with our list you
finally come to realize just how
volatile these shoes Oh with the worst
piece of video game music you’ve ever
heard with new top 10s published every
day be sure to subscribe to
