The music in the scene from Sonic Unleashed suggests an action-adventure game where the player is on a mission. The upbeat, computerized soundtrack uses drums, violin and guitar to create a sense of urgency and movement as the player's character tries to achieve their goal and overcome enemies. The fast-paced narrative implied by the music conveys the action involved in the mission through a combination of software instruments.
