Poll: Is Bioshock 2's voice acting bad?

[Chunko]

I recall that in the escapist video review they complained about it, however I thought it was quite good, maybe not as good as ME2's but still very solid.

What did you think?

If you haven't played the game, you can still get a pretty good idea of the voice acting if you watch the video review.

It wasn't as good as the voice acting in the first game. But it's still better than the voice acting in alot of other games.

Sinclair was the only one that was a little bit iffy, but then again the writing gave him a few ridiculous things to say (mainly in attempts to use slang from the time period in which Rapture was built).

 

[ProfessorLayton]

It was worse than the first one, especially the main guy who had a fake accent... I didn't even bother to remember his name. Ryan and Lamb by far had the best voice actors but other than that it was just lacking.

I liked it. I thought Sinclair was brilliant (a freaking 50s advertisement guiding you...its awesome). Sophia Lamb also had an appropriately creepy voice which was incredibly done.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Sinclair was dodgy but everything else was fantastic.

Sinclair needed to have his accent slapped off his face.

 

[Regiment]

The voice acting was fine, in general. Sinclair's accent stood out for me; it sounded peculiarly pronounced, and I'm not sure how Eleanor got the British accent, but the voicing was all right.

 

[Flamezdudes]

I loved it, don't understand why some don't think it would be.

 

[MetaKnight19]

The voice acting is good, but just not as good as the first game. Also is it just me or does Andrew Ryan sound different from the first game.

 

[C0nn0r666]

i thought it was good i don't know why everyone hates it

 

[HTID Raver]

and little eleanore's video diarys were..... shall i say....



adorable...

It was okay. Sinclair could have used a few lessons on how to not sound like a complete stereotype, but the child Eleanor had a surprisingly good voice actor.

 

[Matt-Sama]

Sinclair's voice made it for me.

His name was "Sinclair".

The voice acting was good I just didn't think the characters dialogue was as well written and interesting as the originals

 

[Terrorist_school_drop-out]

Of course not, it was as great as in the first game, but that could be just my years reacting after my second playthrough of Killzone 2 where I was obligated to listen to another seven hours of squad leader Rico's voice. Brian Cox as Visari was awsome but it still doesn't excuse the voice of a man who may be incapable of pronouncing consonants "Sew ge yuw ahhs ower hia!".

I saved the game before I killed him, to see if I could save him somehow, mainly because the game told me that I had to get it from him 'Alive or Dead'. Don't lead me on, game, damnit!

I thought the voice acting was really good, and the only character that I didn't like was Eleanor, because she didn't really have any character.
