After all, it's nice to have the option. I personally can't use voice commands. I mainly play when my baby son is sleeping and I want to be as quiet as possible, so shouting at the TV is not an option. I also play with headphones (Sony MDR-1RNC - best headphones ever, I'm not kidding). But as long as the voice commands are optional, I don't see anything wrong with it. That way, everybody can just choose what they prefer.
What I really hate is if I'm forced to use voice commands. I hate it on the telephone when speaking to a machine at the Telekom Cutomer Service. I hate it in Lost in Blue, when I'm supposed to imitate some animal. I just don't want to do it. So give me the option to ignore it and everything's just fine.
