@@IPITYTHEFOOLZ It definitely is. Before entering the Dog Pound the game was fairly lighthearted and cheerful. The only moment I can think that was somewhat messed up was Jake being able to get shot by a criminal if you get near him, but even that isn't shown in a graphic or disturbing way.
It's so unnerving to think that dogs were being churned into cat food as this was playing in that location. Literally the scariest score I've ever experienced as a child, even now haha
I don’t think they actually were being churned. The dog catcher said Miss Peaches wants a Clarksville dog to be the first to go into the machine. So Daisy was the first and last.
I tried to play this level twice, both times I HAD to mute the sound, and could never win. I remember holding the controller literally shaking haha and just decided screw this and went back to the farm lmao
I like how ever since the Piglet game blew up on Twiiter for having a Silent Hill atmosphere in one level, more random PS2 games that have no kind of business to include such tonal shifts have been resurfacing suddenly.
Okay, I got this game when I was 9 and loved it. The Dog Pound levels existence as a whole, pisses me off. The whole entire game looks like its for kids and its doofy. Then you get to the Dog pound and wtf happened... Mrs Peaches gets murdered and you play in a freaky level
I'm not scared of this anymore but oh my god do I understand why this music scared the shit out of me as a kid. Along with the area you were in, since that was already scary enough.
@@mazingetter5965 MAN I AGREE!!!!! WHY DID THE END OF THIS FUN, HAPPY DOG GAME HAVE TO BE NIGHTMARE FUEL?! EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SO PEACEFUL!!! O_O THIS MUSIC IS TERRIFYING!
@@lahtine7431 EXACTLY!!! Played it again just recently now that I'm not 4 years old, and good LORD it still invokes a primal fear within me... the ending with the cat lady is still horrific! XD
Ok, so, small story: Fondly remember playing this game as a kiddo. Generally took me a long time to beat it (as it does with most things when you're a wee one), and I mostly just effed around doing random stuff, trying to figure out the quests and such. Just having a chill time though, from the tranquil countryside and even to the bustling big city. So, I was staying at my grandma's place and sleeping over; she had a PS2 as she took up such a hobby when my granddad passed. She was also rather accustommed to horror games. I played the game the whole day on her TV in the bedroom; just chillin in the city, runnin around. It had turned evening at that point. Little old non-English speaking me did not really pay much attention to the dialogue at all, so besides obvious happenings in cutscenes, I was oblivious to the actual story at hand. So I finally saw this entrance to the Dog Pound being open. Why not, eh? Suffice to say I was not in any way ready for the complete whiplash in mood this game took. The sinister, red, hellish landscape accompanied with this ominous ambience - when I had just been vibing to laid-back rocky tunes, mind you - aswell as the Doberman chasing you around was too much for little me to handle. I now had a hard task at hand, 'cause I knew I had to get help from my grandma (mostly for moral support), she was in the living room. I now, however, had to brave a semi-dark corridor with this playing from the TV, as the lightswitch was on the other side. And this might just be one of my fondest video game-related memories as a child. We're talking a 2 meter-long corridor, but I had to hype and brave myself up for an unbearable amount of time to cross to the safe dimension. Needless to say I did not get great sleep that night. Nor the following ones either. All because the European board clearly didn't play this game through and did a Majora's Mask/Ocarina of Time "Yeah, this is fitting for 3-yr olds".
Fun fact: in America it's (or was) rated Teen (13+) it says on the cover it was rated that way for crude humor. Yeah I don't think so. Entertaining story! I've never considered how confusing it'd be without English. I guess I really do take English being my native tongue for granted 😅 though I can have a vague idea considering I love Aisan media and would be lost without subs lol
You play as a dog throughout the game, having fun, messing with humans, playing and controlling other dogs once in a while, exploring and finding new scents and bones. But then you come here, suddenly you're no longer just playing around, you're in a horror movie. A place where a true monster will grind you up into cat food with her big machine.
This music alongside the fact that you're being constantly chased down while you're doing everything to free your friends is terrifying. Game rated E for everyone!
I’m kind of glad I didn’t finish this game while I was a kid. This part would of terrified me. Even when I played this just a few months ago this part still kind of creeped me out. This is a huge juxtaposition from the happy go lucky tone this game has. I could imagine someone making a creepypasta story about this section.
I think the fact that this level feels out of place and is totally unexpected makes both the level and the music 100 times more scary. If the game was a survival horror game everyone would be used to the scary stuff and no one would feel surprised when reaching this level, BUT because the rest of this game's levels are either are heart-warming or make you feel comfortable, and not to mention that the game never warns you about the plot twist, it's no wonder this track and the level have a much bigger impact on us. And also it's like the developers took a look at Silent Hill 1 and 2 when developing the game and decided: "Yass, would be a great idea if we make the design of Dog Pound be like a manifestation of the fears from Jake's subconciousness, the kids won't mind, they're desensitized because of the TV" 😅😅😅 Wtf, the Big Machine level even feels like a SH 2 map.
did this music used to scare the shit out of anyone else as kids?! this music still gives me immense horrible chills Dx fitting for its scenery but i hate it!
All the people commenting on how traumatizing this level and music was but what about when you got to the house on the hill and that owl noise occurs.... 😱😱
This music sounds like you could place it in the undead areas in Fable 1 and it'd fit right in with the deathly blue-green ambience, dying trees, decaying decor and moaning of undead and their spirits.
I’ve been playing this game NON STOP every single day for the past month recently and I still shit myself playing this level after so many years. And I’m 21 now (first bought this game when it was released). Can’t EVER have this music on. Getting serious anxiety listening to this XD XD
Maybe this is where I got my dark sense of humour from? It didn't really creep me out as a kid I just liked the owl hooting in the background cause that was so loud. Hearing it now it gave me shivers and I wondered why I never got scared of the music
In my opinion, it's not that difficuld anymore to escape from the dogcatcher's dog Killer, at the same time collect keys. But it's very exciting with this music :D
Fun fact not actually related to this soundtrack but that I still want to bring up: The next and final level of the game is a blood covered factory. Let that sink in. :)
I always used to be beyond terrified of playing this level when I was a kid and this music playing in the background really emphasised the fear I had for this level! I always had to spend what felt like forever to work up the courage to even remotely visit this level, let alone complete it! It still gives me the creeps to this day and I'm a fully grown adult!
This game utterly terrified me as a kid just as much as I loved it and the entire soundtrack's forever burned into my head... including this track. It's awesome to see people finding out about this now. Many thanks Piglet
The only thing I like about nostalgia is revisiting old games and finding rather interesting choices, what was the obsession so putting eerie things in games for kids although this pales in comparison to piglets big game silent hill like soundtrack
i’m so surprised that this never appears on “scariest gaming moments not from horror games” lists. this and the convexity level from legend of spyro 1. even as a grown ass adult replaying the game i had to mute the tv 😬
Man I absolutely love this game, especially for that wonderful surprise when you played this funny little game for hours and then you walk into the Dog Pound and get trauma, and I don't even mean this sarcastic, it's awesome - as long as you aren't a little child, then I'm very sorry for you. ^^' I had the luck to play this game first when I already was a bit older (around teenage yeras I think), but I still was a bit terrified. o_o ... And I still find it to be quite unsettling now in my 20s.
It’s been years since I’ve played this game and I only managed to get as far as the the entrance to the dog pound, I don’t remember the music being eerie but listening to it on here makes it sound 10x more creepy!
The first time I got to this level I was like " Yeahhhhh.. No I'm going home " And I went back to get all the bones before even going into that level again xD And yes, The dog that chases the Player gave me Nightmares. I think it's name was Killer? can't fully remember.
i looked this level up as a kid and needless to say i stopped playing the game because i didn't wanna get to this part. what the actual fuck is the contrast in tone in this game
What the hell is with this game it starts off light hearted and funny then final level has this creepy fucking soundtrack I remember playing this as kid and feeling so uncomfortable the red sky the dead trees the creepy ass house. I remember when you have to rescue dasiy and they blood everywhere on all the machine. And miss peaches death is fucked up get chop in to little tiny pieces and being put into a cat food can
Oh my I've never been so terrified... 😂 This scared all the way up to 11 I'm still scared of it now... This is Rated a kids game. You make a creepy out of this! I remember killer the doberman following you and trying to set free the dogs and the red sky's it was scary 😂😳!
Pretty sure Mrs Peaches is supposed to be a parody of Mrs Tweedy from Chicken Run. Both dress similarly, have similar hair, similar names, similar motivations and a machine that they turn live animals into food with (only to end up being put through the machine themselves) Weirdly, I've never seen anyone online make the connection between the two characters though.

The tonal contrast is what makes this so intriguing.

Everytime I get a ps2 childrens game soundtrack recommended, it is always and never going to be what I think it is.
this sounds like its from a horror game . what the absolute hell
I guess you could say it kinda is. Dogs getting churned up into cat food. It’s almost as grim as Schindler’s List.
it sounds like the flood soundtrack from halo
I still remember those red skys, this music was always eerie. Especially in the beginning.
GNEX 2020 right. I played this game when I was 12. 14 years later this music still never fails to creep me out
It's so unnerving to think that dogs were being churned into cat food as this was playing in that location. Literally the scariest score I've ever experienced as a child, even now haha

Dogs being churned? This is something that would make my sis shit her pants.
That was bloody grim. I almost wanted to call the RSPCA to inform them about it.
I tried to play this level twice, both times I HAD to mute the sound, and could never win. I remember holding the controller literally shaking haha and just decided screw this and went back to the farm lmao
You should listen to the other music of the game, they are great.
The first time I played this level I screamed for parental guidance 😂
Same! Everytime I miss back home to the farm while hearing the song!
PS2 games made for kids for some reason when they see free Silent Hill music.
I feel like Im having a stroke reading this sentence

@@benimo6 Probably talking about how many children games have Silent Hill samples or straight use music from it
Dog's Life was actually one of the first Souls-like games

Ah, the "let's give kids nightmares" level
The perfect theme for when the killer finally reveals his or her true nature to the main character and why he or she wants to kill the main character.
Okay, I got this game when I was 9 and loved it. The Dog Pound levels existence as a whole, pisses me off. The whole entire game looks like its for kids and its doofy. Then you get to the Dog pound and wtf happened... Mrs Peaches gets murdered and you play in a freaky level

This was so scary as a kid. Then later when you have more bones than the pound dog it's like bitch I own you.
So many different games back on the ps2, so many weird ones too. Dog's Life was a big part of my childhood
Sounds like something you would hear on Plague Dogs
When I was a kid I had less trouble passing the spooky chapter from Conker's bad fur day than this part from Dog's Life!
did this music used to scare the shit out of anyone else as kids?! this music still gives me immense horrible chills Dx fitting for its scenery but i hate it!
I played this at age 13 and it made me shit my pants...could you imagine someone playing this at age 3?
i could imagine it, up until that level, then nopenopenope +platinumspoons
I played this when I was little, this theme legit made me tremble. So....haunting.
i played this first at 5 years old.. you don't wanna know how scared i was..

This is the most Resident Evil sounding thing since Resident Evil on the PS1.
was any one else creeped the f out here?

yeah!! the owl noise was so... unnatural? it made the whole track 10X scarier than it already was.
Never mind the crows, the owl sounded out of place, yeah.
love this random ass scary track recommended from a ps2 game i never fucking heard of
The last level is such a fucking curveball holy shit.
This music sounds like you could place it in the undead areas in Fable 1 and it'd fit right in with the deathly blue-green ambience, dying trees, decaying decor and moaning of undead and their spirits.
Wtf did Piglet’s Big Game summon😭
We would not have DEFCON soundtrack without this one.
