Reviewers praised the sound design. Goldstein of "IGN" praised the actors' performances and the use of licensed music. "GameSpot"s Calvert and "GamesRadar"s Walter also commended the licensed music, the latter admiring the humour of the radio's talk stations. Michael Pinson of "The Pro Audio Files" praised the separate features of the game's sound design—including the city's ambiance, licensed music, character dialogue, and vehicle and weapon sound effects—applauding the developer's use of uniting the features together. Carolyn Gudmundson of "GamesRadar" also retroactively praised the game's soundtrack, commending its suitability to the game's setting.
