Good music can persuade you to keep on playing a game even while the game play might be a little bad or not exceptional.Music adds quite some punch if the focus lies on story and characters.So very important.
Not really surprising since with the 3DS there is very little reason to do so.
Simcity.
It's an example of what EA stands for.
Spending a lot of money for nothing.
Other publishers are also heading into a direction that they are forcing gamers to spend on things they don't want.If the product is fine people will buy.But to leave out choice only aggravates.And from what I can see EA is king of aggravating people.
In my opinion music is more important than visuals.
with music you can transcend sight and still touch someone.
