End War tried voice recognition and it sucked. It took 10 minutes to setup and afterwards the game just could not pickup tons of commands.
IGN has a glowing review of the Kinect voice function up with one of their comment being "it just works". Clearly using Kinect is giving developers some sort of advantage over using a standard mic. Why would a developer spend a ton of resources trying to get voice commands to function over a microphone and then end up having it be sub par when they could spend less resources and deliver a better experience through kinect?
Some of you need to stop bitching about an optional feature that by all accounts not only works well but actually greatly adds to the immersion of the game.
