  10. Voices! by Second_Infinity · · Score: 4, Informative

    Nothing bugs me quite like a video game based on a tvshow/movie that uses the same characters but different voices.

    "The talented voice cast includes: Seth MacFarlane (as Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin and more), Alex Borstein (as Lois Griffin), Seth Green (as Chris Griffin), and Mila Kunis (as Meg Griffin)."

    According to that statement it appears they will use the regular people for the voices! Excellent.

    Maybe the voices will be more believable than in Simspsons: Hit and Run. Heck, maybe it'll be a better game overall... but I doubt it. Games made after TV/Movies are usually fun for a while, but not for extended amounts of time (for me, anyway).

    Hey now! I'm a fan of the classic Simpsons arcade game! You know, the one with up to 4 players that wasted an incredible amount of quarters?
