This cutscene includes a large variety of voice overs. Sora, Donald, Goofy and Riku all have lines in this scene and their are about 2-3 voice dubs for riku to sell the idea of his possession by Ansem. Some of the sound effects include chains, foot steps and effects for swords and shields. The footsteps all sound really fake but, the cartoony vibe is apparent through the sound.

OGRE Game Engine
The OGRE game engine is a scene oriented, flexible, 3D engine designed to make it easier for developers to produce games and demos using 3D hardware. OGRE stands for Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine. Steve Streeting created OGRE using the C/C++ language and made is accessible through various platforms: Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
OGRE's features range from lighting, shadows, texturing, shaders, meshes, scene management, animation, physics and scripting. Developers can affect fonts, game environment, maps, the save/load system and so much more. Users of OGRE are draw to the engine's ability for graphic performance and its open source rendering library.
OGRE is free to download but after further research, it seems that developers that use OGRE all have different ways to utilize sound with the game engine because, it does not feature it on audio-ware. A user must use an add-on or a different program to include sound.
