I was listening to some game music the other day and it got me thinking what makes a game most memerable. Is it the graphics? Is it the gameplay? Is it the story? Or is it the music?
For me it seems that listening to music can really take me back to the game I played. It can remind me of certain levels and events and how much I enjoyed playing it. Without the music it seems that a game is way less memerable. Think... even if a game has a horrible story or horrible graphics a game can still be memerable based on it's music(if its good music lol). The only other factor to consider is gameplay. Who wants to play a frustrating game even if the music is great?
The Donkey Kong country series for example has great music that really helps to hold its place in the list of SNES classics.
So what do others think? Do you think good quality music in a game is an important factor in making a game memorable for you?
