In my time gaming, I've come across more than a few voice acting fails. Here's my pick for no. 1, from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

    It sounds like they just took the game programmers and recorded them in a garage.

    Are you serious? That's actually what the game is like?

    I heard that they just told people to read the lines without telling them context. Apparently it was cheaper that way when localising the game.

    I'm sure it is better done in the original Japanese version.

    Despite that, its still an insanely awesome game.

    From Guild Wars: Factions.

    It was rather fun if you ignore the plot.

    Guild Wars always had a pretty garbage "plot."

    So do most MMORPG's. I rather loved the skill system, the early max level cap and that you didn't have to grind to keep up with the ballance of the game.

    Yeah I have fond memories of the game. For no subscription is was really solid.

    If I may, I would disagree! Very much so!
    I enjoyed the story of The Prophecies, and Eye of the North was just awesome too. However, I must agree that Factions sucked, big time. Nightfall was OK. This is all coming story-wise, that is.

    Factions also had the worst cutscenes and voice acting of them all. Ridiculous quality, and the worst setting in the game.

    To add one of the worst voice acting examples would be the drunk from The Temple of Elemental Evil. I mean, there's some great voice acting in that game, a lot of moderate ones and a few -horrible- ones.

    This is not even the worst sample of voice acting I've heard. (Plumbers Don't Wear Ties etc...)

    Isn't that some ancient 3D0 game? I only knew about it because of the Angry Video Game Nerd. While we're at it, the opening to Blades of Steel is also weak.

    @Sily
    I rather liked the urban part of Factions a lot and thought it was one of the coolest places in the game. But I get the idea that I'm in a minority on that part.

    When I think bad voice-acting a lot of early PS2 games comes to mind.

    It's like listening to a cheesy porno dialouge.
