8 Most Incredibly Terrible Attempts At Voice Acting In Video Games
3. A Rather Bored Cast Chaos Wars
Is there a better way of setting the tone for an epic, cross-continuity Role Playing Game than having the dialogue delivered by your mum? That's what the acting in Chaos Wars resembles. You can practically hear the actors die a little inside every time they have spout one of the more fantastical lines of dialogue. Clearly, this mess was the result of a series of: 'remember that favour you owe me?' exchanges. It's bizarre as to why they thought that this approach would be a good idea, but perhaps they had bitten off more than they could chew financially with such an ambitious project. Or maybe this was some poor casting director's ingenious way of explaining away those hentai drawings his mum found under his mattress. Regardless, during the PSOne era barely an eyelid would have been batted at this, but it came across as far less acceptable for a PS2 game. The sad part is that the game is largely remembered for the poor quality voice acting, when it's actually a rather enjoyable RPG.
