Syp makes an interesting argument in favour of voice acting in games, including MMOs. Makes me wonder, what games are there that have actually used voice acting effectively?
I can think of a few:
- Max Payne: the cut scenes were eerie and added to the atmosphere and pathos of the hero
- Thief: the illustrated cut scenes were brilliant, and the voice of Garret really gave character to your, well, character
- Morrowind: the NPC voices ("die, fetch!") helped reinforce the RPG aspect of the game
Any others?
