"This is madness!!!!!!!!!!"

Why you say?!??!!???

Well, it's quite simple. I have a personal standard when it comes to voice acting (and also equally important, the storyline) in games. I believe that the quality of voice-overs play a very important part in a game. Half-Life 2 wouldn't be Half-Life 2 without the top notch voice acting. The same goes for any game that that has people talking in it. Unless of course the voice-overs are intended to sound cheesy.

What I'm trying to say is, while I can forgive the occasional graphical glitch, sound stuttering, minor plot holes, or long loading times, one of the things I cannot ignore is the voice acting.

In the other departments, this game delivers. Solid game play, magnificent sound effects, and stunning visuals make this game a joy to play, if only you could ignore the horrendous voice-overs. If you don't believe me, just listen to the gasping Lambert (he sounds like he's running out of breath all the time) throughout the game.

In my opinion this is a madly overrated game. But I have to clarify; SC:PT is a great game, but because of the voice-over failure I would have to be 'real' and warn potential gamers with similar taste as mine the puke inducing voice acting within this game.
