9 Celebrity Voice Actors Who Ruined Their Video Games

9. Bruce Willis - Trey Kincaid (Apocalypse)

Neversoft

Notable for being one of the first 'big games' for the industry in that first-time developer Neversoft managed to grab some A-List talent for their project, Apocalypse will also be remembered by many older players as the first dual-joystick titles to make it to consoles.

The problem though, was that the whole thing was barmier than a platoon of cartwheeling pheasants. In addition, as Apocalypse was released in a time before dual-joysticks were even available on consoles, if you were yet to purchase the first Dualshock you were forced to aim and fire with the face buttons, original PSP-style. It still found a certain audience, coming just at the tail-end of the action-packed gun-toting 90's, but the one thing that grates even if you can throw on the nostalgia-specs is Willis' acting throughout.

Sounding more as if they just pointed a microphone in the general vicinity of Bruce as he shouted across the street to a friend, most of the lines aren't even mixed in the same way as his opponents, and that's without mentioning how his delivery is nearly always in a much higher register than normal, coming across like he's always mildly perplexed by his own script.
