The Big City

This soundscape is very well executed and displays exceptional production values. However, it seems to me rather limited in its scope. As the name "Big City" implies, the sound effects include passing cars, muffled conversations, police sirens, and the like. This limits the applicability of the piece, of course, to a modern setting that has such things. The music, performed beautifully, has a jazz feel to it, and this further narrows the range of situations in which you might use the soundscape. The music very much makes this soundscape feel like a 1920s period piece to me. This soundscape feels right to me for pulp-era games such as Call of Cthulhu (with an American 1920s-1930s setting), Spirit of the Century, Thrilling Tales, and so on. I could also imagine it working well with a more modern noir detective setting. Other soundscapes from Sonic Legends have wider applicability, and that's why I gave this soundscape only four stars instead of five. Everything else about it is superb.
