What game has the worst callouts or music?

"Shoot the pyramid!"

And pretty much all of them from Scared Stiff. That lady sure is annoying.

It can get really repetitive but I don't think it's that bad.

XMEN is very bad, not so much because of what they're saying but the terrible voice actor delivery.

Yeah: "Oh god! Stop the spider!". Thinking of increasing the number of ramp shots before the spider hole lits.

I do however love the "that's a huge bon-eh-us!"

The callouts on LOTR are extremely well done and MET is pretty good.

XMEN, GOTG, DI, and Black Night all drive me crazy.

Shut your dirty mouth!

Scared Stiff's callouts are incredible. All of them, but especially the Stiff!

Guardians of the Galaxy is the easy "winner" in this regard. The sound package is independent of what you're doing, and it's not dynamic. A scene starts and just KEEPS PLAYING. There's nothing telling you what to hit or what your shots are doing in the mode. It's just a movie scene, playing. There's absolutely no reason to do this. Literally every other pinball machine in the solid state era does a better job indicating through sounds what you're shooting than Guardians does.

Big Bang Bar? I guess we all have different opinions but to me it has some of the best call outs.

Music in Judge Dredd is hideous. Equally bad is the “saxaphoney” music in Jackbot, totally not aligned with the sci-fi robot theme.

Jokerz is a menace. When that attract music goes off, it will clear a room quickly. SO LOUD.

Agree with Dr. Who. Might feel differently if I knew the show, but those high-pitched static monsters screeching whatever they're screeching is nails on chalkboard bad. "Millions!" is fun, though

Meteors monotone background "music" is probably one of the most annoying things I've come across. GOTG callouts are awful, it's all bickering and yelling. If I wanted to hear that I'd just stay home.

I think that's the same lady that did the call outs on Breakshot, and that is THE only reason I got rid of that game. Can't believe I'm thinking about getting another one. That'll learn me!
