I think you guys are over reacting to Samus' voice. I think it is well placed. First what you have to realize is you are hearing mostly her inner monologue, not necessarily her speak a lot in the videos we have seen. Also, Samus is not Lara Croft - especially at this point Ripley - she is not self affirmed. I think the voice direction works, maybe some of the lines could be better, but i think the same about 95% of hollywood movies and 99.99% of videogames. Show me a videogame with stellar voice work (akin to Toy Story 3) - I'll give you a cookie.

Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Both Mass Effect games

God of War's is good for what it is

For "stellar"? Probably down to just KotOR2 or Mass Effect 2, off the top of my head....

I am one of the few people on these boards that still owns Eternal Darkness, unfortunately I haven't played either Mass Effect. Claiming God of War's voicework is stellar is like saying the guy who played Leonidus should have won an oscar... again its an excellent film, poorly acted. Eternal Darkness voicework is shoddy for quite a few of the characters. Pious comes easily to mind. I was planning to buy Mass Effect 2 shortly since i got by uber PC, SO I shall reserve judgement. I still doubt it to be in the same league as Toy Story 3. But i'll go in with a positive mindset.
