Worst voice acting I've ever heard in any game. Emphasis on the wrong words in a sentence, overacting, slow talking, corny accents, take your pick, it's all here. It didn't help that the in-game cinemas to go along with this "voice acting" were equally horrid.

Resident Evil 1 was really bad, too.

Robot Alchemic Drive was pretty bad but that may have just been a parody of crappy giant robot anime/movie voice overs.

Ah, who can forget Megaman 8?

"This device must not faw into the hands of EVO!"

"Bass! Why are we fighting?? We are not enemies!"
".....................shut up."

And Megaman X4:

"Whatdoyouthinkyou'redoing?!"
"It's not too late, stop the coup now!"
"Nevuh."
"Ifthat'syourdecision...PREPAREYOURSELF!"

Needless to say, there's much more where that came from.

But it doesn't.
Go figure.

Baten Kaitos.


there's the kind of bad that has corny dialogue but decent VA's.

There's the kind of bad that has awful VA's but a decent script.


Baten kaitos is the bastard lovechild of both of these, a being of pure hideousness that would make the very ears of one's soul bleed.

I'm going to be the predictable guy and say Zero Wing.That's very interesting considering Zero Wing has no voice acting.

It's been around since 2004 for PS2 and XBox. And oh yes this game isn't something to write home about.

Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog. It could've been decent if they didn't use the 4Kids voices. And when you fight Eggman, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO REPEAT THINGS A MILLION TIMES.

Personally I don't have a problem with the 4Kids (http://khan233am.ytmnd.com) actors in Sonic. The only major ones I dislike would be Cream and Gamma, but no-one cares about them anyway.
I have yet to buy a game where I thought the voice acting was plain trash! I checked out that site in the first post and I don't seem to own any of those games. I might have to buy one just so I can see what I'm missing ;).

It's really kinda sad. I liked the Malice character. I wish they'd actually completed the game before they booted it out.

The Grand Prize Goes To: House of the Dead 2. Sweet lordy lord.

Honorable Mention: Sonic Adventure 2. Not that the voice acting itself was particularly bad, but whose retarded idea was it to have all the characters' lines overlap each other? Weird.

Mega Man 8's was pretty terrible. Both Shenmues had bad voice acting, but at least it was comedically bad.

I loved the acting in acting in House of the Dead 2, for the wrong reasons mind.

"Suffer like G did?"

"I doe wanna diiiiiiieeeeeeee"
"MY GAWD"

"aahhhh dont cum!!"

"There was nothing we could dooO"

"Were meeting wiv G over HERE"

"hurrrrrrrreeeee gooooo"

"noooo help MEEEE"

I thought the Sonic Advneture VAing was ok, but the sonic heros VAing was bad beyond beleif, espailly tailes. jesus crist O__o

One of his lines was quite funny though: "there alllllllll dead" lol

I liked her design, but the way they shaped her character out was like an 80's girl who lived in 90210.

"Like Daddy can you give me $50. I wanna get a makeover, like guy." :sweat:

Yet I liked the idea for giving her fingered gloves to hold her weapons. I'm using that as a very small tidbit design concept for a game I've been doing about a guy with a hammer. (absolutly no relation)

"You know what they say, the more the merrier!"

Though easily the worst and most infamous- "FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!!"

Sonic Heroes, especially Tails, was painful to the ears. He sounds like a freaking four year old for god's sake, I'd much rather him have his voice from Sonic Adventure. And Zoids: Battle Legends was horrible. Raven's voice was awful, and tell me when Van and Fiona said "Let's go! Yeah!" in high pitched voices.

Sonic Heroes:

Tales of Phantasia GBA - Before I got the GBa version I used to played the ROM version which had the japanese voices. Just hearing the enlgish voice just feels uncomfortable. But it's still a good game.

Ace Combat 5's voice acting was crap. Not only did the voices make me want to puncture my eardrums, but the translations were horrible, with grammatical errors in every other line. Add that to the inaccurate jargon, and you've got yourself one giant steaming load of doggie doo!

Wasn't his Adventure voice blatantly hitting puberty in SA2? I'd imagine he either sounded too old by the time of Heroes or might have quit acting altogethor.

Legend of Kay for PS2, where you play as this gay ninja cat , all the animals
have horrible voiceacting, and yes they have ninja turtles.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with the SA games. So much that I switched to the Japanese voices - and suddenly heard Tails and Amy on sugar high, and decided to just have my cd player running.

MM8 had awesomely bad voices too. "I GOT IT DOCTOR!" >_<

Lemme guess, they gave Gamma a voice that sounded like HAL 9000/ Macintosh computers? That would be predictable,though I haven't gotten to that level yet.
