The document analyzes the soundtrack from the Bioshock 2 launch trailer video. It establishes that the setting is a city beneath the ocean surface based on faint rushing water sounds heard at the beginning and end. The mood is initially one of horror, created through a disembodied girl's voice, string violins, and screaming after the main monologue. The narrative is introduced through a melancholic woman's voice at the start.
