This is much better than that Sonic RPG stuff.

EDIT: They apparently remixed it, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5OsxPNj6zY

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Did some searching and came up with this.

I don't really know any full terrible OSTs outside of a few previously mentioned, but this song always makes me laugh

King's Quest V - Town Music

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Yoshi's Island DS. Even the main theme became grating after a while.

Such an epic castle music...not

 

[Speevy]

I think you can excuse games that used generic beeps because it was the 70s/80s.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Although I'm a big fan, the Dynasty Warriors games have always had soundtracks that wear my ears out.

Here's what you do.
1) Disable Music in Dynasty Warrirors
2) Find Music from early Naruto OSTs and play them instead while you play

You'll be surprised how much better it fits Dynasty warriors.

:lol at XIII being mentioned in this thread. If that's the worst soudntrack you've listened to then oh boy you have not listened to many game soundtracks.

As for my choice, gonna have to think about that one.

 

[IcyEyes]

Awesome thread

[plagiarize]

Jaws Unleashed.

One of the best movie soundtracks becomes one of the absolute worst game soundtracks. The Jaws theme DOESN'T FUCKING WORK IF YOU ARE JAWS AND IT NEVER FUCKING STOPS.

 

[Creaking]

Although I'm a big fan, the Dynasty Warriors games have always had soundtracks that wear my ears out.

Oh man,
you gotta be kidding me.

It's not all spectacular, but certainly not bad enough to be called the worst. I think 5's soundtrack is one of the best I've heard overall (sample link word is "gotta").

A Sega Genesis tech demo. Made by one guy in Venezuela. In 2004.

Check out the Let's Play

[Lumpy Onion]

lol where did FF XIII go in the OP? Clearly it's that one. Too much JPOP and electronica to be a true FF soundtrack.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Metropolis Street Racer, loved that game but tounge in cheek or not, the music was terrible.

Deep Blue for the PC Engine though...just listen to this shit.

[Freeza Under The Shower]

halo 4 generic salt edition: the thread, sponsored by Call of Duty, Hans Zimmer, and Final Fantasy XIII.

 

[GravityMan]

I think I'll vote for that Crazy Bus video posted near the start of that thread. Good lord. The average low budget NES game has far better music than that...

And WTF at the mentions of FF13...FF13's soundtrack is actually quite good overall. Not the best in the series, but it's solid. Most Tales games have worse (as in forgettable) OSTs than FF13.

[Black Door]

FFXIII? Did OP think he was going to get brownie points for dragging that game through the mud here again?

1) Disable Music in Dynasty Warrirors
2) Find Music from early Naruto OSTs and play them instead while you play

Naruto OSTs

Naruto

 

[Nohar]

Crazy Bus, obviously.

Also... Really? FFXIII? The game has its defaults, but claiming that his soundtrack is one of the worst out there? Really?

 

[CD'S BAR]

this is the best thread. crazy bus is a revelation.

 

[gutter_trash]

Burnout Paradise.
Hell, all EA games with licensed music. The opposite of R*

 

[UnrealEck]

Though not the worst entire soundtrack, probably my most hated song in a game was Birthday Cake from Jet Set Radio Future. I am not kidding, I actually had to stop playing the game and return it for a refund just because of that song.

 

[PedroRVD]

New Super Mario Bros 2.

Nothing worse than the brutal wah wah in this game.

Followed closely by NSBU. At least it took out the castle wah wahs.

[Vintage_Creep]

Super Sonic Racing is AWESOME.
Yep.
AWESOME.

 

[Haeralis The BRave]

Call me crazy, but I tend to forget bad and forgettable game soundtracks

Its certainly not the worst soundtrack ever by any means, but I do remember being very underwhelmed with Final Fantasy X's soundtrack since everyone hyped it up to be amazing. I found it to be among the weakest ones in the series, personally.

 

[epmode]

I don't really know any full terrible OSTs outside of a few previously mentioned, but this song always makes me laugh

King's Quest V - Town Music

This is making me so happy.

 

[Omega]

Overall? ME3

there's not one good song on that soundtrack. Mars is decent. The rest are worse than the OG ending

 

[Kacho]

Off the top of my head I'd go with the Sonic Adventure games. Some of the most annoying and out of place music in video games.

[Bassmastergeneral]

Wow that sonic music is unbelievable

Try not to explode your ears... Classical music raped by the Genesis/Megadrive.

That's ridiculous, ME3 had a better soundtrack than both games. Outliers in those were Normandy Reborn and Spectre Induction.

Someone somewhere had to work in an arcade all day and hear this. Damn.

Final Fantasy XIII and Sonic R posted in worst game soundtrack thread.

Yeah, what the hell haha.
FFXIII may have many faults, but its soundtrack is one of the best of the series.

FF13, Halo 4, and now this.

I'm out.

 

[N4Us]

Captain Novolin may have one of the worst I've ever heard. It honestly just sounds just random notes being played

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uxu7E8AwL4

 

[Broder Salsa]

Not the worst at all, but Hitman Absolutions was definitely one of the biggest falls in quality. From amazingly good soundtracks to utterly forgettable.

San Francisco Rush for the N64. They had the nerve to include a music select button so all the crap was readily available.

 

[Paracelsus]

I'd rank ToG for worst OST Jrpg score ever, but I'm not sure if it's the very worst. It certainly is one of the worst of all time for a bigger budget Jrpg.

 

[DiabolicalBagel]

The best thing is letting multiple videos run this "song". It doesn't work for everyone appearantly, but what normally happens is that it cancels itself out.

Heh, it does. With four I get static, with five I get silence.

Apparently it's because it tries to read some game code as music.

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

LOLOL, FFXIII and Halo 4 are the worst game soundtracks. And The Persistence of Memory is the worst painting ever. The Scarlet Letter is probably the worst novel ever. And Yo-Yo Ma sucks so bad.

I would say Sonic: The Dark Brotherhood because I think there were technical issues and the soundtrack did not mix correctly.

I love XIII's soundtrack. I went and bought the 4 disc limited edition.
