The music was exactly what I hoped it would be matched to a very nicely done intro. During gameplay the sound was excellent. When moving about the level you will hear all the realistic ambient noises such as camera motors grinding, fireworks, water, footsteps and talking. It seems game developers are moving up in the world with their sound designs in games. Not much else to state on the sound of the game other then it was done very well." Xbox Addict.com "All of the voices from IMF agents and SURMA villains to the random pair of guards engaged in idle chatter all sound great. Sound effects are excellent and the designers have made nice use of the 3D Dolby Digital mix to create a spatially correct sound environment. Weapons and gadgets all have realistic sounds and there are subtle touches like radio static and that displaced effect when you are eavesdropping with your binoculars." Game Chronicles.com "The game's sound is great across the board. The sound design is also imaginative... music is quite atmospheric and provides a nice backdrop. " Game Spot.com
