The document summarizes sounds used in the game Ratchet & Clank 2: Going Commando. It describes how the music is used to initially set a menacing setting but then changes tone to reflect the comedic nature of the game. Specific soundtrack elements like the boss's announcement were likely produced using voice actors in a studio and then altered digitally. The game genre relies heavily on sci-fi sound effects created artificially or with Foley artists to establish the narrative of Ratchet winning a race.
