Driver: San Francisco

• it sounds so right, so jarring, so funny and sometimes so sad all at once to hear the rage, the hysteria, the raised blood pressure of people speaking in that weirdly private public place: the front two seats of a car. You’re the ultimate eaves-dropper in some of the most ordinary, human moments ever captured in a game.  kotaku

The Book of Unwritten Tales (King Art) - Metacritic: 86

• One of my favourite features of the game is the brilliant voice acting. ... The dialogue is excellent, the voice actors give it plenty of shape and style, and the accents are very authentic. Many games have Scottish or Welsh characters (actually, Welsh characters are pretty rare in games) whose accents are, let us say, weak, at best! And deeply flawed in others. (If you think Groundskeeper Willy has an accurate Scottish accent, then you'll have no idea what I'll rattling on about.) However, the English, Welsh and Scottish accents are all genuine in this game - Wilbur has a lovely soft, lilting Welsh accent, for example. It's really nice to see people getting this right. Gameboomers
  
• The characters themselves are superbly voiced, and I was surprised not to see any familiar names on the cast list beyond that of David Rintoul from Risen, Dragon Age, Heavenly Sword and… if you’re someone who uses their television for activities other than gaming… the lead in Dr Finlay. I’ve since discovered from Mark Estdale, voice director and English script editor, that our waistcoated airship captain, Nate, was voiced by Doug Cockle who also has the lead role of Geralt in the Witcher series.  I was naturally quite hesitant that the humour and dialogue would be lost in the translation from German to English, or that the studio would pull in a horde of ‘cheap as chips’ actors just to get the job done and keep costs to a minimum, but they have instead excelled in every way imaginable. gaminglives.com

• "The voice acting is brilliant" cheatcc
• "...the voice acting is pure gold" blastmagazine
• "Those who don't follow Wallace & Gromit religiously will be introduced to a world with great voice acting, bundled with wonderful writing" truegameheadz

• "The voicework is again top quality, with nary a weak link in the performance chain." palgn

Mata Hari (DTP Entertainment/)

• "The voices are the perfect icing on the cake. Each character is strikingly portrayed and every tone is believable, every inflection properly balanced. At the beginning of the game, I had some doubts about Mata's voice, which sounded too mature for the character, but as the game progressed through the years and the character herself grew more confident, I eventually had to admit that the voice was perfectly cast." Adventuregamers

Memento Mori (DTP Entertainment/)

• "Okay, I'll just come out and say it – the narrator of Memento Mori is the freakin' best voice actor I've ever heard in regards to the whole "Creepy Ominous and Omniscient Narrator" shtick... The aural aspect of Memento Mori is easily the best part of the game. I'd love to see more games put the time and quality into their voice acting cast" - Sound: Unparalleled diehardgamefan

Ceville (Kalypso Media/Realmforge Studios)

• "excellent voice acting." gamepro

Perfect Dark Zero (Rare/Microsoft)

• "Then there's the voice acting... I love it... the slightly larger than life characterisations fit the James Bond feel of the proceedings nicely. So what if there's a thick Scottish accent, amongst others, it adds something that you don't often find in games and it's refreshing, plus all of the voice actors do a great job and deliver their lines with enthusiasm and style." acegamez

Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (Frontier/Aardman/Konami)

• "The best part of this game without a doubt is the sound! The voice acting is brilliant, especially Wallace who is played by the brilliant (British!) Peter Sallis who does the voice of Wallace in the films. The music is also brilliant and so are the sound effects like the bun gun and the other array of weird and wonderful gadgets." gamespot
• "The voice-acting and dialogue is spot-on, faithful to the films, and gorgeously Northern." vgpub
• "The voice acting, sound effects and soundtrack are all top shelf." cheatcc

• "Top-shelf dialogue and voice acting further brings the loveable universe to life." bonusstage

• "The voice acting is great" cv-games.com
• "Excellent voice acting that helps to make the plot all the more compelling" vgpub.com
• "Each character also comes with the kind of quality voice acting that allows the story to develop in an interesting and measured way, never resorting to the kind of fingernails-down-blackboards cringe that most games always seem to default to." eurogamer

Broken Sword 3 - The Sleeping Dragon (THQ/Revolution)

• "Incredible voice acting dominates this game..." pc.ign

• "...The voice acting is top notch."psillustrated
• "...the voice acting is quite superb." thetartan
  "The voice acting is great; its good to see that Sony has taken care in this department, because honestly some game developers forget about it and it is an integral part of games today, especially one of this calibre." psx2central
• "....what's most entertaining is the broad scope of voice acting backed up with good dialogue. Often times the game's non-playable characters dialogue is hilarious, and even when it's not occasionally hilarious, it's very funny, providing plenty of character and personality to every character on screen. Even Rynn's dialogue is good, showing her character to be sensible at times, emotional at others, and just plain kick-butt at others. She is so much more of a character and a personality than Lara Croft..." ps2.ign

TimeSplitters 2 (Eidos/Free Radical Design)

• "great characters and quality voice acting" gamerankings
• "Script and acting are actually impressive as well; Magnus Tide is a character you will grow to like, as are many of the NPCs. The way in which you chat to people as you play, finding them and getting information really leads you into the cut-scenes which develop the plot and you'll find yourself eager to see, and hear, the next event." gamerankings

Conflict: Desert Storm (SCI/Pivotal)

• "The sound effects and voice-overs are professionally done, which is a big plus." actiontrip
• "...from the voices of your soldiers you are commanding to the voices of the enemy to the sounds of the guns, tanks, aircraft all sounds very authentic. The tone of voices also change, when your in peacetime they are as cool as a cucumber, but during a firefight there going to scream at the top of there lungs, almost rupturing your eardrum (Ok, I was exaggerating, but you get the point.) The sound compliments the game play very well." videogamereview

Wipeout Fusion (Sony)

• "The female computer voice of you're ship's on-board systems announce various warnings and system's status. A booming PA announcer voice announces finishing positions and eliminations. The culmination of all these sounds creates an auditory experience second to none." impactsites2000

X Beyond the Frontier (THQ)

• "...Voice acting in the game industry is either very bad, mediocre, or very good. The voice acting in X falls into the very good category."avault

Fuzion Frenzy (Blitz)

• "The voice acting is also really good in this game, your characters reply to victorys, loses, etc, and the game also features the best announcer in the world. This guy announces the games, and announces the victor of the games (and always in a different tone of voice). I challenge anyone not to laugh when he screams "FUZION FRENZY" as if his head is going to explode."angelfire
• "...This game is so fun, and the amazing attention they do to voice over specific sounds is amazing. " gamefaqs

Edge of Chaos

• "...Good graphics and voice acting." gamespy
