week 18 sound in games

Sound in games, I think that sound plays a very important role in games; it can completely set or in some cases ruin the mood and playability of the game,
Sound is used in games to create tension, emphasise a character, let you know if you are doing something right or wrong, and hundreds of other things.
Sound is used in basically every game, and can make or ruin them, I think this is because a good soundtrack, even just making the guns on a game sound more realistic, helps add allot more feeling and playability into a game, there has been some games where I’ve just though it sounded awful and it annoyed me so I’ve not enjoyed the game as much as I could have.

I think the biggest sonic moments for me in gaming is either the final fantasy 7 soundtrack, final fantasy 9, the metal gear solid one in general, or the new devil may cry 4 one.
I think the soundtrack can give an amazing feeling and experience to a game that might even lack in playability and story, some of my favourite games, are only my favourite’s party because they have such a great soundtrack with them.
