How important is music (in games) to you?

[Oyvoyvoyv]

Music is very, very, very important to me in games. But for some reason, most people seem to just ignore it.

If you look at reviews. Most sites just have Presentation, Graphics, Gameplay, Lasting appeal. Just a very few have a sound score. Sound is normally just heaped into a group with something else.

Game trailers (not the site, the actual trailers) generally don't have any music in them.

Usermade videos normally have some crappy non-game music tacked on.

There's tons of threads about best graphics, best controls, best physics and such, but rarely ever a thread about best music.

 

To me, it seems like nobody gives a damn. Developers don't try to promote it, reviewers don't really mention it, and the consumers don't seem to care. 

 

So, to the question. Do you care about music in games?
