Trivia[edit]
- The movement "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" from the Finale has a runtime of 3:43, a reference to 7 and possibly the eponymous Monitor 343 Guilty Spark. Additionally "Prepare to Drop," named after the game's tagline, has a runtime of 1:17, a reference to Master Chief.
- Marty O'Donnell was trying to evoke the feeling of jazz, while not literally creating jazz music. Throughout the soundtrack there are several songs that contain solo saxophone sections that create a lonely, urban atmosphere. In the tracks "Skyline" and "Traffic Jam" however, an electric guitar along with heavier sounding percussion are used in the more cinematic moments in the game.
- The soundtrack won several awards; the Best Original Score at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards[3] and Best Original Score and Sounds in the Czech Gaming Awards "Invaze 2009".[citation needed]
- Most of the tracks that play during Mombasa Streets have a film noir flair, due to the jazz perspective used in the soundtrack. This seems fitting, since most film noir movies are about detectives, and The Rookie is, in a sense, a detective.
