I think you're all alone on this one.Lord Pounder wrote:Deus Ex. Great game and still one of my favourite but serriously how expensive can it be to get more than 3 voice actors, and don't get me started on JC "mono tone" Denton.

Tobey Maguire in the Spiderman 2 Console game. He was fucking mumbling the entire time and sounded like he was going to fall asleep.
My favorites are GTA3, GTA:VC, and GTA:SA. It just doesn't get much better than that.

Dishonorable mention goes to the play by play and commentary in the entire Madden NFL series. For Christ's sake, it's EA Sports's flagship franchise, featuring the most recognizable sportscaster in America, the man who basically invented modern football color commentary, and it's all pure shit.
Down by six late in the fourth, third and eleven on your own thirty? Madden: "I think they're going to try to throw here." Actually, I was going to try the fake punt. They'll never see it coming.
Score a touchdown? "The more touchdowns the better." Well Jesus, here I thought the object of the game was to score the least. Thanks for clearing that up.
Even better than the obvious comments is the fact that Madden has about twenty quips that recycle endlessly. Play the game for a week and you'll be able to recite all his lines by heart. Add to that Al Michaels's play-by-play is done mostly in a droning monotone. He makes a forty yard touchdown run sound like a trip to Wal-Mart to buy socks.
Obviously, an unscripted game presents technical challenges a scripted game doesn't. But ESPN's commentary was much better (their entire presentation was better, actually), and EA, with its resources (and twice the price tag!) had no excuse for not being just as good. Now, of course, since they've locked out the competition, they have no incentive to improve, guaranteeing that I'll be sticking with Madden 2004 for the forseeable future, probably until I own a next gen console.

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

Speaking of EA...
Burnout 3. Fun game, nice chrashes, ok music... horrible, horrible voice acting. Presenting "DJ Stryker of Crash FM!" That man... or whatever he is... tries so hard to be hip and cool and just falls way too short. Add to that the fact that he only has about three different lines per race type really, REALLY, makes him aggrivating. Luckily it's possible to turn off the DJ in the options menu. I wonder how many players have him turned off... Every Burnout 3 player I know has...
