A fly in the ointment

But at least the game came out on time, which is a first for a Zelda game.

I would rarther of it to have been delayed, if it meant having more dungeons and minus the tedious triforce collection bit. Wouldnt you?

Was Megumi that little kid who found the kitten at the beginning of Shenmue 1? If it is, her voice was god awful, and completely turned me off from even playing the game past the first 20 minutes. Ryo's voice is also not very good, and I think the voice acting in general was horrid in that game.

Yes, Megumi was the kid who helped you look after the cat. I tried playing through Shenmue again the night before last, but my DC has reverted back to the reset problem so I didn't get far. I can't be bothered to open it up again, so I'm going to have to pick up a new unit on Monday.

When it comes to voices, either do it good, or not at all. They should be hiring outside reviewers to listen to this stuff before they finalize them. Change them if people find them bad.

Definately. A prime case of that would be the shocking conversion of 'Forbidden' Siren. I was watching Consolevania last night and imaging how good the game could have been if SCEE had subtitled it... The Eastend mock-up voiceovers by the Consolevania team in demonstrating the game's acting quality almost had me in tears of laughter.

Totally. But Nintendo made a big point of it (jap ver) delivering on time.

I would have liked two extra dungeons to bring it to 8 as is the standard. And for some of those dungeons to be revamped. The first one was really good (Dragon Roost) but it went downhill from there real quick.

I didn't mind the Triforce hunting so much, but the Sailing I got sick of by the end of the game. I hated sailing past the treasure spot, then having to turn back, which means playing the song, then digging it up, then playing the song again to change the wind back, then turning the boat to continue on down my original course... It was a fun novelty at first, but got old quick.

I thought the voice acting in splinter cell 2 was diabolical egsample at the start of the second level
man1 "We have to find the Frenchman" man2 "but wait we are French" in a really bad accent

[crazylegs]

no no no
the worst voice acting in the world has got to come from the smackdown wrestling series
granted they dont actually talk but the mouth movements go on for ages.
i swear to god vince mcmahon mimed for two solid minutes when the subtitles said ''the wwe is mine!!

[Shotski]

the splinter cell one was pretty bad now

[crazylegs]

i never liked splinter cell
mostly because i never liked tom clancy's books
mostly because the only books i read have to have the word ''lord'' or ''ring'' or ''erotic''

007 everything or nothing was great. great actors, great story , great driving.
until those last few levels in moscow.they were a bitch to complete.
thaqt and ''bond sense''. i never could get the hang of that

i agree with crazlegs but then the only games i play are multi payer games and really really reheheely bad computer games.
