The Outlaw's Least Favorite Game Moments: Black Ops' Voice Acting

Ok, I should make a distinction here. Most of the voice acting in CoDBlOps (lols) is pretty good. I mean c'mon, Gary Oldman kicks ass. My main issue is with the guy who plays the main character and protagonist, Alex Mason. His name may seem familiar, a one Sam Worthington; the star of Graphics Porn the Move (Avatar). I won't say much about that movie. I never saw it because I'm not the kind of person that sits through a ridiculously long, unoriginal movie just because it looks pretty. Anywho, from what I hear, the Australian born Worthington didn't have the best American accent. However, the movie takes place in the future so who cares. We don't know how people will sound then. However, Black Ops takes place in the 60's so there is no excuse for an American to not sound American. Thus, an issue arises when he doesn't. Spoilers?? *Shrugs*


Oh wait, we've got the wrong guy. This Mason guy we're looking for is supposed to be an American. Crap. I guess we better let him go then.

I know I probably shouldn't get "angry" over this, but I can't help it. IT'S STUPID! If the guy can't do an American accent, then hire someone else! You have a character that is supposed to be American, SO MAKE SURE HE SOUNDS RIGHT! Ed Harris is an American, and he plays one. It works. I can't speak for how good Oldman's Russian accent is, but he is an amazing actor, and he never lets his actual one slip through. At the very least you could have taken a second take! Eh whatever. Stupid voice is stupid. Oh and I'm not writing a review over the game. Anyone who is going to buy it already has or will.
