Music

The music was composed by Michael Giacchino who was hired by DreamWorks Interactive to create a piece of music for an animated demo the producers were going to show to the game's producer, Steven Spielberg. Spielberg was impressed by the demo and the music. After the meeting, Giacchino was called down to the meeting room to meet Spielberg, who, after meeting him, called Giacchino "a young John Williams." It was agreed that the score would be recorded with a live orchestra.

Giacchino was given a book of the game's storyboards to aid in the musical composition. Giacchino worked on the score for six months while the game was in development. The music was created during a two-day recording session with a 40-piece orchestra, and was subsequently mixed at a post-production house in Hollywood, California. The soundtrack was edited to include 19 tracks, with a total duration of 45 minutes. Giacchino gave each playable character a brief theme to reflect their personality and purpose. Giacchino went on to compose the score for Jurassic World and its sequels.

Reviewers expressed so much enthusiasm for playing a game with a live orchestral soundtrack that DreamWorks would get Giacchino to use an orchestra for his later scores for the Medal of Honor games.

The track titles and order comes from the official soundtrack.
