The Game: Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (Xbox, PS2, PC)
The Star: Henry Rollins as Mace Griffin

We’ll admit it. We’re a little scared of Henry Rollins. The badass Black Flag leader could probably crush our heads with his bare hands and still have enough leftover aggression to shred up a solo that punches today’s poppy punk straight in the gut.

But the professional punker’s questionable voice acting doesn’t live up to his strong stage presence in Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter. Instead, Rollins sounds like a rock ‘n roll robot minus the rock ‘n roll part. It’s true that you can only do so much with lines like “...that’s what I do: hunt, protect, and kill.” But Rollins monotone delivery certainly doesn’t help any.

First?

Yeah, while both the movie and game Spiderman 2 were awesome, Tobey McGuire definitely was not into doing the voice work for the game.

Awsome game nonetheless...

You must be really scared, so scared you cover your eyes everytime he appears. If you peeked between your fingers every once in a while, you might notice he doesn't play guitar.

I remember the good old days when the most you would hear Sparx say was Bzzz, bzzz,bzzzzzz. Also some of these were pretty terrible especially the Aerith one that was also creepy.

i don't think Rollins' voice over was that bad. Although it really is hard to do much with those lines...

and he does scare me, too.

Wow. Some of these audio samples send chills down my spine. Maybe you guys at GR should write an article on the Top 7 Best Voice Actors as well. My earliest memory of really good voice acting was the guy who played Marius from Diablo II. Probably not the best but definitely my fondest. I'd like to hear the gamers' choices as well.
