Setting The sound of spaceships passing through the mass relay suggests that the scene is based in space. The sound of the vacuum of space also suggests that the scene is based in space.

The sound of the spaceships coming through the mass relay sounds computer generated.

Mood Through the sound of the background music we can assume that the mood is tense but also hopeful. From what the characters are saying we can tell that they are scared.

The background music sounds like it was recorded in a studio then added into the game later.

Game genre Sci-Fi – The sound of spaceship engines tells us that the scene is in space and therefore its genre is Sci-Fi. Action – The sound of lasers being fire and explosions tells us that the game genre is partly action.

The sound of lasers being fired from the spaceships sound computer generated.

Narrative A number of different alien races along with humans are preparing to attack the reapers; a race of beings from before this era who come to destroy all life in the galaxy every 50,000 years. The sound of the lasers and explosions suggest a battle is taking place. Through what the characters are saying to each other we know that the battle is to take back earth from the reaper invasion.

The explosions in the cut scene sound like they may have been taken from actually explosions then added into the game.
