Rank the music (optional)
Now give a ranking from 0 to 20 for as many, or as few games as you wish in the table below.
The more games' music you rank, the better, but don't rate any music unless you're more or less sure it's an accurate score. All games are listed in alphabetical order, and you will need to scroll the horizontal bar to access more.
Give a score from 0 to 20 according to the following guidelines:
Terminology: Great > Excellent > Very Good > Good > Listenable > Mediocre > Poor > Very poor
18-20 = The game contains many
Excellent tunes and at least a few really
Great ones.
15-18 = Generally
Excellent tunes, and maybe 1 or 2
Great tunes.
Or, a few
Great tunes, but the rest are 'only' quite
Good.
13-15 = Generally
Good tunes, with no real great tunes.
Or, a few
Very good tunes, but the rest are generally
Mediocre.
10-13 = Generally
Listenable tunes, with no good tunes.
Or, a few
Good tunes, but the rest are generally
Mediocre or
Poor.
7-10 = Generally
Mediocre tunes, but with a few
Listenable tunes in there. There may be one or two
Good tunes if you're lucky.
4-7 = Generally
Mediocre or
Poor tunes. There may be one or two
Listenable tunes if you're lucky.
0-4 = Generally
Poor or
Very poor tunes. Do not give this low rating, unless you're convinced it deserves it.
