Using that excellent model of Pierce Brosnan then using a voice that sounds NOTHING like him is so distracting that it ruins the cutscenes!
Even though the animation and modelling is amazing, I'd have rather had the Bond from Agent Under Fire than this.... Even a "sound-alike" would have been better :-(

Very disappointing.

Yeah, I have to agree, the voice is very "fake-British", something you'd expect in a spoof.

This is the first time I've ever wanted Bond to shut-up!

Why go to all the trouble of securing the rights to use Brosnan's face if you're not going to try and make him sound at least like Brosnan? I'm disappointed in EA.

Does the voice try to sound like Brosnan? If it does, perhaps they ought to just give Bond a Connery accent or something else. just kidding

Hey, hold on, guys! The demo we're talking about is about nine or ten weeks old. It's unreal what programmers can do within three months!
Don't expect this to be the final voice! And: who would NOT want to buy Nightfire just because of a bad voice? I mean, Agent Under Fire's voice acting was not overwhelming, too.

LOOK!!!!
This was on Gamespot under PS2 a preview of Nightfire

"As you've probably deduced, James Bond 007: NightFire puts you in the shoes of debonair British secret agent, James Bond. As in GoldenEye 007, NightFire will actually use the likeness of Pierce Brosnan for the game's main character, and even though the famous actor doesn't provide his own voice talent, Bond's dialogue in the game sounds remarkably like Brosnan himself. "

YEAH GO NEW VOICE!!!!

I sure hope that voiceover work was just a place-holder...

The opening "film" scene leading into the credits sounds absolutely perfect - any idea if the opening credit song has vocals?

Keep in mind the voice that sounds remarkably like Brosnan was on the PS2 version and it has a completely different development team working on it.

It's probably the same imitator from the TWINE game. I only hope he does the PC voiceovers too.

I haven't played the demo yet but alot of people have told me that it's pretty laggy and not worth the time.
