"Retribution" opens with aggressive brass stabs and militaristic percussion that sets the whole tone. "Guns of Rotterdam" layers orchestral tension over driving rhythms, capturing the chaos of urban warfare on portable hardware.

The whole soundtrack compresses a full console-quality orchestral score into fourteen focused tracks. No filler. If you ever doubted the PSP could deliver a real cinematic experience, this score is your counterargument.
