{{Quote|Overall I think this score is a bit more intimate and personal. We're telling a human story, not a cyborg story. This isn't a space opera but a story that takes place on [[Earth]] in one city. Although the player gets to inhabit the shoes of several characters, they still primarily should feel like one person discovering the mystery that lies behind the ruins of [[New Mombasa]].|Martin O'Donnell to Music 4 Games}} | {{Quote|Overall I think this score is a bit more intimate and personal.

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. | ||

This seems fitting, since most film noir movies are about detectives, and [[The Rookie]] is, in a sense, a detective. | ||
