The music in the game is generally considered average, with users noting a lack of options to adjust the volume within the game itself, leading to the need for manual adjustments in the system mixer. Overall, the music does not stand out significantly.
“No settings page to speak of, so the incredibly loud music must be manually tuned down in the system mixer.”
