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.

Quoted from Leeb18509:

Maybe but I know you "love" the music in Jokerz too.

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

Fish Tales has pretty awful music. Not sure I'd claim the worst, but it's bad.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I'd take it all day long over Carlene Carter on Roadshow.

That's pretty rough too.

Country and pinball don't mix.

Quoted from DrStarkweather:

I like the game so far, and Iv only ever played it in loud bars because... but Iv heard some negative things about the GotG callouts. Anyone with better knowledge care to expand on that?

It's just noise. It just plays video clips that have nothing to do with what you're doing. There are no helpful "shoot the ramp" indicator callouts. There are also no acceptable callouts to indicate what you just hit. Instead you get a bunch of movie clips that start and just continue to run, regardless of how well or poorly you're playing. It's really poorly integrated sound.

The music is fine.
