Steinman was the best, IMO.

People often underestimate the power of a good voice cast. Voices can really enhance a game, something I first noticed with Halo.

Bioshock's voice acting is indeed superb from what I've heard of it.

Kind of a spoiler there, but nonetheless, I agree the voice acting is awesome especially with Sander Cohen.

Yes. It is the only game ever that I have been suprised at some part of the voice acting.

I thought halo's was just alright the first time i played it. It might be because i was a HL2 freak than. But yeah bioshock was pretty darn good at voice acting. I havent beaten it yet, but its still great.

The voice acting gave me goosebumps. I can't really remember any other game that's been able to do that.

Yeah the voice acting is great, and I would argue that Bioshock is one of the best games of all time. Actually I'd argue that its the4th best game of all time http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/simpleratings.asp?rankings=y :D.

Might I suggest stealing someone elses 360? Playing Bioshock is easily worth the jail time.

Yes, the voice acting in this game is incredible. 2k did a good job by making all of the bad guys sound all evil too :P Although I found andrew ryans voice changed a couple times, atleast he sounded different later on then the voice u heard on the projector in the bathysphere on the way to rapture. anyway, awesome game.

Absolutely not. BioShock has the best voice acting ever.

I've got the same problem :(...should be back soon though...I hope...Bioshock (Collector's Edition) has been sitting un-opened in my living room since the day it came out... I got overnight shipping only to be hit with the 3 Red Lights a few days before the game released... :(.. It's killin me

Agreed. The voice acting is definitely some of the best I've ever heard. I'd say more, but I'm pretty sure all that I've wanted to say has already been said...why can't movies have acting that good? Sander Cohen was perfect, and I really thought that Diane McClintock was well played. On her diary "New Years Eve Alone" she really sounds like someone who feels like they've lost everything.

Man, I love Bioshock.

*EDIT* How could I forget about "The Wild Bunny"...Weirdest/creepiest thing I've ever heard in a game. I really think that has to be heard to be believed, I sat there for like 2 minutes just wondering WTF I just listened to.

The sound in general is some of the best I have seen (heard) in a video game. Just the use of some of the old 1930's Jazz music as you walk into some rooms is great. I love how the Big Daddy's moan and groan as they lumber around the hallways and if they are close enough you can fell them rumble the controller (and Sony says you don't need rumble). I started playing the game Saturday night and my wife was reading on the couch and watched me play the first 2 hours of the game and told me she felt like she was watching a movie. She did not want me to turn it off when it got late because she wanted to see what would happen next. The is one hell of a compliment to a game when a person watching you play getssointo it they want you to keep playing. The first 10 minuets of play, between the plan crash and the decent into Rapture felt like a ride at Disney.

Mine really isn't a spoiler. Not unless you already got that far. In which case it's not a spoiler.

Cohen was incredible. The way he would talk about art really sucked you in. I also adored the acting in the 'golf club incident' with Ryan.
