Most overrated game music

Zelda's music.

And this is coming from a huge Zelda nut.

I haven't actually heard much of FF music but since so many people like it it hasto be overrated.

Add another vote for Halo. One alright song and then a bunch of nothing.

FF music is NOT overrated; you're just kidding yourselves.

I voted "other"...I honestly didn't like the soundtrack for Nier. I just found the vocal music grating.

Final Fantasy XIII has an excellent soundtrack.

Final Fantasy (the series) doesn't.

MGS4

The previous games had much better soundtracks.

I think the original MGS still has the best soundtrack of the franchise overall, atleast in terms of getting your heart pumping. The main theme that played during boss fights was just epic. The others were still excellent though.

Twin Snakes replacing the original soundtrack is just one big WTF.

Why no specifics ? there's a lot of zeldas and even more Final Fantasy out there. Def Jam has the worst music for my taste I must say. Even if people don't praise it what ever they think of it it's worse.

That's FFX and that still has a great soundtrack

Funny, i actually thought that sigle piece is the best in the entire FF series.

Kingdom Hearts.

I'd say Bioshock and RDR. Bioshock wasn't anything special and I didn't notice most of the music in RDR.

Best FF soundtrack for sure, and possibly best FF game. The atmosphere, characters, story, and humor in that game along with the music, all awesome.

FFVI as well. My 2nd fav FF soundtrack (X is #1) and by Uematsus own admission, his best work.

Super Smash Bros

Yes they did, nothing in the MGS4 soundtrack is memorable.

It's funny how you hear all of those songs only during the game's cutscenes...

I think MGS3 has much better tracks in that regard, particularly the alert theme, 'Battle in the Base', 'Takin' on the Shagohod', and the motorbike chase theme.

People are getting confused now about what the question is. Its not the most over rated game's soundtrack. Its just the most over rated soundtrack on its own

id go with morrowind. theres battle music and theres the cue that plays everywhere else. i liked it, but it doesnt work in the game. theres this big melody that just gets played over and over despite the situation. it could get really distracting in crypts that are supposed to be scary or intimate areas shrouded by fog. its disappointing coming from jeremy soule who has made great music for other games. LoG-Sacrament

I thought the music itself was very very good. Really different, but the problem was there were no specific ones for different locations, they were just 'battle' and 'explore'

That's the problem I believe. I remember going in a crypt with happy explroing music going on. Ruined it for me

As much as I like the Zelda games, the music is quite horrible.

Super Smash Bros

They're all remasters of old tunes. They fit into the context of the game, but it's not something really worth listening to outside of the game.

Final Fantasy XIII has an excellent soundtrack.

Ah come on, this isn't so bad:

And that's only on FF10 and X-2--both of which I wasn't that crazy about.

And Dragon Quest as well?

I agree with the reference to FF13. But I find it hard that you didn't enjoy any other soundtrack in a FF title, or even Dragon Quest for that matter. But it's all opinions though, so maybe it is possible, somehow:o ...:P

Um yeah it is. Well some of it. it's just liked alot mostly due to nostalgia

I'd say Bioshock and RDR. Bioshock wasn't anything special and I didn't notice most of the music in RDR.

turtlethetaffer

I truely didn't notice music in either of those games. Guess they weren't worth listening too :P

I am truely suprised no one mentioned Mass Effect, considering the praise the soundtrack gets. And I don't think it's overrated, in fact it's my favourite soundtracks for any game.

Lol I thought about calling it out, but didn't, since really, why should it matter? I too enjoyed the soundtrack of the games.

But if I had to call ME soundtrack overrated, or at least its reception this gen from gamers, it would be the sequel. I found the soundtrack in the sequel very lackluster when in comparison to the first--It just didn't have as strong an identity to me.

I pick Final Fantasy but not as a whole. I love Final Fantasy's Music, BUT I hate One Winged Angel.

I liked it at first, but it's not the best song in the Final Fantasy Series.

I like FF and Zelda music so I don't find them overrated.

I haven't actually heard much of FF music but since so many people like it it hasto be overrated. The other 2 I hear so much praise for but it's really bad. Both have some decent songs here and there but it's 90% crap imo, what do you think?

SquirrelTamer

Wow.... Thats just... Wow...

Seriously thats sig worthy... This right here is the biggest problem ive seen on system wars. Anything thats popular is instantly labeled crap and overated. Did you know the composer for the FF music is highely regarded and has created some of the best soundtracks ever on a game??

Even if by personal taste (like a song could be really good country but it really doesnt matter because I hate country) you dislike it, you still cant say its crap, especially not becasue its popular....

And to answer the thread, no none are overated they all have something to offer that gives it reason to be popular..

I don't think any of those options are overrated. They're often praised because they're that good.

Final Fantasy, or any game that uses a bunch of orchestral music.i5750at4Ghz

FF7 everyone talks like its Beethoven

Edit - And Crysis 2, almost forgot that.

Halo soundtrack. Your poll is seriously lacking.

Megaman and Megaman X series pwns all soundtracks in this thread! And my vote goes to Halo, FF overrated? Not a freakin chance.

Kingdom Hearts 2, any Sonic 3D games (including the storybook series) post-Sonic Adventure 2 until Sonic Colours-Oh, and also Sonic 4-and Final Fantasy XIII.
