What’s that I hear?:

The sound in this game is also rather special; everything is lovely done at fit right. The weapons all sound good, ok, not all, the machine gun does sound a little tame, they should have used the noise from the pistol, which is almost as good as Shogo’s. The enemy all have recognisable sounds to them so you know what you are up against, I especially love the military chatter over the radio’s it really helps the atmosphere. The ambient noises are where they should be, at a decent volume and they all sound good.

The Music is a weird one though, while it is excellent, it is rather short, sometimes it really fits the scene so you just want to hear this playing but after what seems like a few seconds it just fades away, rather annoying really. This was actually one of the few times when I kept the music on in an FPS game so it is a noble achievement, a personal favourite among friends is the song you hear in the end, very good. On a final note, the game has support for A3D (v2), which is very well implemented too.
