  • Music makes the game.

    The music I heard in the four in-game movies @ CivFanatics was kick ass! The "tribal" type music in ancient times, and more advanced music as you go along...nice. I think the music will go a long way toward drawing into the experience. Graphics and sound aren't the most important thing, but I think the overall presentation of the game looks great.

    Yes, it is very good I might actually listen to it more than once

    They did a great job on setting the mood with the music- each civ type (European, American, Asian, etc..) gets their own themes, and these themes morph throughout the ages, and are heard during diplomacy.

        I suppose you're talking about Civ2. Won't you even give Civ3 music a chance?

              I listen to "my type" of music in the car and whatnot, but well composed music adds to the game experience quite a bit.

                  voiceovers will not make this game

                  good music, good sounds; no extended voiceovers, no in-game movies to "distract" the player: these are details, of course, next to the gameplay mechanics and the AI. But I know I'll miss the cutted details.

                      The music sounds sweet, & it adds a lot to the atmosphear too, much more than the music in other games.

                        I certainly agree that music plays a role. In Civ-2, there was 2-3 tunes that was so annoying that I always prefered to play without music alltogether. Somehow the random tune generator always seemed to pick those 2-3 tunes particularly often.

                        It would be a big improvement if the indevidual tunes is available as separate files (and/or indevidually blockable through the preference-screen), so one easily could delete/mute those that one dont like. The Civ-3 tunes that I have heard so far have been good however.

                        In my view, the old adventure-game "Little Big Adventure" is one of the best examples what really good background-music can add to a game.

                          I will eventually tire of the jingle anyway... be it sooner or later.

                          A particularly horrendous example comes to mind, however: the music of Colonization! I swear I've never heard such ugly, intrusive tunes from any other computer game.

                              Me too Well, this proves how objective one can be about these things.
