  • Voice acting

    What game has the worst voice acting ever?

    I just came across the game The Black Mirror. Interesting game, nothing special, but still interesting... but one thing annoys the hell out of me: The voice acting is extremely bad
    There's lots of different people in this game, and for now (almost at the end of the game) I have only found a few characters who has a good voice acting... but the worst of them all, is the one who's doing the voice acting for the leading role...


    ...all I'm saying is: The narrator program that comes with WinXP is doing a better voice acting as this player...
    This space is empty... or is it?

    Toonstruck, though I think they were meant to be annoying. Doesn't stop them sticking in my mind as bad though.

      I'm not sure if this counts, but in Silent Service 2 (released in 1991) the voices which played every time you launched a torpedo or sank a ship were only available via PC Speaker.

        The Australian (and several other) accents in Deus Ex leave something to be desired.

          Yes, they are quite accurate.

            oh, the accents in the Hong Kong level in Deus Ex were terrible, terrible!

            and I hated the voice of Gabriel Knight in the third game of the series (Tim Curry did his voice, right?) I wanted to puke whenever Gabriel started a conversation. But Grace's voice was great, really. As were some of the French accents.

              Tim Curry's voice in Gabe Knight 1+3 is one that you either love or hate I think. I love his stuff myself, though it doesn't come close to the narrator with the deep creole accent in the original game.

                  We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

                    The GK series has great voice acting.

                      Worst voice acting I've ever heard- the Swedish version of The Longest Journey.

                      Although I guess none of you would understand the pain of having the bird-type character voiced by an incompetent fool with a heavy gothenburg accent.

                            Fallout 1 and 2 had good voice acting, as did Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1 (haven't played 2 yet) and Freelancer.

                              I can't really say per se, but I know that wverace 64 has the most annoying announcer ever. But John Madden does get quite annoying in general. Frank Cliendo on Madtv does a great impression of him! very funny! lol!
