www.gbase.ch 20 Dec 2007 about Bee Movie Das Game: "It's no exaggeration to say the voice-overs are first class. The voices are great and match the lip movements, and it's a pleasure to watch and listen to the dialogues. (...) + first class voice-overs"

  

GameStar Dec 2007 about Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer: "The interaction with and between companions has once again been resolved in an exemplary manner in Mask of the Betrayer - the brilliant wit of the dialogues and the amount of detail in many conversations will hold even players who normally shirk dialogues spellbound."

 

www.gameswelt.de 04 Dec 2007 about Bee Movie: Das Game: "The lively background music and the amusing dialogues of the German version fit into the game very well and offer no grounds for criticism."

 

www.gameradio.de 20 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "The constant company particularly affects the atmosphere. You will always feel like part of a unit, never like an all-powerful lone fighter. The excellent German synchronisation takes care of the rest."

 

www.playstationfront.de 16 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "The background music, the voice-overs and sound effects can justifiably be called first-class."

  

www.gamezone.de 14 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "The German voice output is flawless, very nearly as perfect as an expensive Hollywood production. If only all publishers made such an effort."
 
www.looki.de 13 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "Where Call of Duty 4 really excels is in its audio-visual presentation, which just so happens to set a new standard. (...) While gamers are forced to content themselves with the German synchronisation, it must be said that this has been achieved with great professionalism, and the battle cries you will hear on the field are very authentic. (...) The sound from your speakers could hardly be better."

  

www.gamaxx.de 10 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "On the other hand, we have no complaints to make about the sound - the music, weapon effects and the German dubbing actors are all top class."

  

www.4players.de 09 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "The German version of CoD 4 is darn good! You can really hear that the actors know their stuff (...) excellent German speech"

 

www.xbox-newz.de 08 Nov 2007 about Call of Duty 4: "But Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare would only be half as good if it wasn't for the continuous radio calls. These have been excellently translated into German and convey the objectives well to the player. Various sound filters make the radio calls seem very real."

    

nintendowiix.net 04 Nov 2007 about Thrillville: Verrückte Achterbahn: "We would also like to take this opportunity to point out that all the texts have been recorded with surprisingly good German speech, which is rare for Nintendo consoles, and a definite bonus."

www.planetds.de 23/01/2007 about Spider-Man: Battle for New York:
"The fights involving civilians, armed villains and the representatives of law and order are the greatest pastime in the game and the pleasant cutscenes as well as the excellent speech provide a good atmosphere for players to enjoy during long nights playing on the DS. (...) A real bonus in "Spider-Man: Battle for New York" is the totally excellent German voice output. It creates a real flair while you're the comfortably playing, and players feel as if they're in a well-made cinema film after just a few minutes. Few games are able to create an individual atmosphere in this way, and the developers have to be credited for this. (...) The speech and story make this game a real experience"

  

PC Games 01/2007 about Neverwinter Nights 2:
"Of course, the story development is mostly pretty much linear and the different dialogue options all lead to the same basic statement, namely that one must choose between a good or an evil action. But the way there is lined with well-polished dialogues and professionally presented. (...) The dialogues, story and characters are great. The (...) texts often had me laughing my head off."

 

www.gamezone.de 20/12/2006 about Tony Hawk Downhill Jam:
"Nonetheless, the playable characters are not only clearly distinguished optically - the dubbing actors are really in character, both in the English and in the German voice output, and again leave a positive impression."

 

www.4players.de 08/12/2006 about Tony Hawk Downhill Jam:
"On the other hand, the speech is superb, without exception: Especially the skaters' comments before each round, which you can view individually in the video menu, are not just funny, but also well-dubbed."

"The dialogues fit in well with the high-quality story."

  

Gamestar 12/06 about Neverwinter Nights 2:

"The dialogues are the highlights of the game. (...) Excellent translation (...) The texts in the game have all been translated professionally. (...) The characters' strengths and weaknesses in Neverwinter Nights 2 are underlined with plenty of wit, charm and patience. The fact that the narrow-minded brute Khelgar has to learn tolerance leads to a lot of smiles ('Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced! By the Nine Hells, I even travel with a back-stabbing tiefling of all things, and you know how her kind are!')."

 

www.gamigo.de 24/11/2006 about Neverwinter Nights 2:

"The German actors have all done their stuff really well, the voice of Tyber Zann is particularly convincing."
 
www.gamezone.de 03/11/2006 about Destroy all Humans! 2 - Make War not Love:
"It is impossible to find fault with the translation, the team even took pains to accurately transport the humor as well. Experts know that it isn't always easy to translate the punch line of a witty phrase from English into German. In this case, we take our hats off to the developers and the responsible parties: The translation work can definitely be classed as a success."

  

www.gamezone.de 25/10/2006 about Stronghold Legends:
"The acoustics, on the other hand, are exemplary and almost make up for the damage to the atmosphere done by the graphics. The German voice-overs, in particular, leave a good impression with their charm. The amusing texts will make you smile from time to time - and they were all recorded by highly professional-sounding, motivated actors."

  

www.krawall.de 24/10/2006 about Stronghold: Legends:
"The speech, on the other hand, is convincing, with a charming, medieval vocabulary."

"Very good German actors were selected for the many dialogues, and the sound effects are exceptional."

 

games.looki.de 19/10/2006 about Gothic 3:

"On the other hand, the sound designers deserve some praise. Where the voice-overs and the backdrop of sound as well as the impressive underlying music are concerned, the developers of Gothic 3 are well ahead of their competitors."

 

www.mega-gaming.de 18/10/2006 about Gothic 3:
"The synchronisation is a point that has been badly treated in many games. The third installment of the Gothic series has again been recorded professionally and is as successful as the soundtrack."

  

www.gamecaptain.de 15/10/2006 about Gothic 3:
"Believable dialogues and derisive comments (along with top voice output) outside of the usual stereotypical fantasy are a huge strength of the game"

"+ very good voice-overs"
 
www.4players.de 12/10/2006 about Gothic 3:
First of all, with regard to music and, at the latest after the first dialogues, also with regard to atmosphere, everything is as we know it: epic, coarse and free - that is what the tradition of the series promises, what the fans expect. (...) Pro: good spoken dialogues, speech: very good

  

www.mega-gaming.de 09/08/2006 about CivCity: Rom:
"The building sim leaves a thoroughly good impression acoustically. The missions are accompanied by pleasant background music that is good to listen to. All the German voices are pleasing to the ears too, publisher Take 2 has even used some known actors."

www.krawall.de 17/02/2006 about Star Wars: Empire at War:
"The synchronisation is also well done. (...) The sound effects and good synchronisation justify top ratings for the sound."

"The synchronisation is also among the best in video gaming history."

 

www.gamesurf.de 02/12/2005 about Shrek Super Slam:
"The acoustics are the trump card of the title. Activision has been able to secure nearly all the original actors for the software adaptation. The annoying Donkey, the squeaky Gingerbread Man, the vain Puss und the awkward Ogre are really good fun. Thus, and also thanks to the great scripts, the cutscenes are a proper comedy show – simply brilliant."

  

Gamestar 12/05 about Ultimate Spider-Man:
"(...) However, the well-chosen actors and the spectacular effects do something for the ears. (...)"

"The background music is okay. There's a lot of very good speech."

www.gamezone.de 30/11/2005 about Call of Duty 2:
"Of course, we must not forget to praise the game's magnificent sound (Dolby Digital), for a large part of the much-lauded atmosphere is solely due to the authentic weapon sounds, the professional acting of the soldiers and the terribly realistic noise of battle."

  

www.gamion.de 29/11/2005 about The Movies:
"The sound is also very well done. The noises and music are fitting and create a real movie atmosphere. However, the actors are a particular highlight: A fictitious radio station whose presenter doesn't really think much of movie-making entertains the player with wisecracks and even satirical comments on daily news items and the development of the film industry."

 

www.justgamers.de 24/11/2005 about Star Wars Battlefront II:
"Thanks to Pro Logic II, the sound is really atmospheric, which of course is also due to the fact that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 has once again been completely translated into German and recorded using highly professional actors. The developers at Pandemic have got it all right."

  

www.gamezone.de 21/11/2005 about Call of Duty 2: Big Red One:
"Of course, the soldiers' realistic movements are solely down to the motion capturing technology, but especially when your comrades are standing in a group nearby and chatting, they're no longer far removed from real actors. This convincing impression is achieved thanks to the excellent localisation. (...) The mood among the young troopers of the "Big Red One" is largely generated only by the excellent sound, which brings it across to the other side of the screen in a believable manner. (...) Fantastic localisation."

www.gamesmania.de 17/11/05 about The Movies:
"Huge praise is due to the entire localisation"

  

www.4players.de 14/11/2005 about The Movies:
"After the first hour, The Movies was a real platinum candidate in my eyes. The harmonious optics, the elaborate design and the finely animated characters make this game a pleasure to watch. The sound along with its atmospheric melodies and other acoustics, including the German voice output, saw to the rest (...) Voice-overs: very good"
 
www.pcaction.de 08/11/2005 about Call of Duty 2:
"Thanks to the sound, the first few minutes of play in Call of Duty 2 are an overwhelming experience. Shouted commands, fearful screams and the witty speech of the allies and enemies around you resound from the speakers more authentically and forcefully than in any other game."

  

www.4players.de 05/11/2005 about Call of Duty 2:
"(...) + good localisation (...) impressively designed, even more impressively accompanied acoustically (...) the sound is once again phenomenal (...) Voice-overs: very good"

 

www.4players.de 27/10/2005 about Ultimate Spider-Man:
"However, the developers have certainly created a lot of humour, especially in the boss sequences. As in the comics, Spidey can't resist offending his enemies – this is a source of constant enjoyment in the German version as well (...) Voice-overs: very good"
 
www.planetds.de 26/10/2005 about Ultimate Spider-Man:
"For a long time, no handheld game's sound has generated as much atmosphere as that of Ultimate Spider-Man. Many a developer should consider following this example. The voice-overs in the game are excellent. Players will hear Spider-Man's witty words and get to know Venom's split personality best by experiencing the story as it is presented here. Our praise goes to the game's presentation and thereby to the developers."

 

TOMMI Jury (German award for children's software 2005) about Madagascar:
"The characters are funny, drawn with care and they come up with a lot of funny lines. Some of us laughed so much we could hardly go on playing."

"We also greatly enjoyed the excellent dubbing and the varied tasks."
 
N-Zone 08/05 about Madagascar:
"The crazy characters alone will make you smile constantly and make for a lot of fun in the numerous cinematic sequences, for the humour of the movie has been brought across well, not least thanks to the good German voice-overs."
 
PlayStation2 - Das offizielle Magazin (the official magazine) 08/05 about Madagascar:
"The German voice-overs are really first class - especially thanks to the professional dubbing actors of the American stars."

 

www.playstationportable.de 15Sep 05 about Spider-Man 2:
"The speech samples of the German voices from the movie are certainly essential to this title. When super villain XY comes up with some sinister and really evil phrase, Spider-Man retorts as usual with a humorous quip."
 
www.playstationportable.de 13Sep 05 about Untold Legends:
"The good German translation is commendable (...)"

"high quality localisation (...) voice-overs: very good"

  

www.gamecaptain.de 16/08/2005 about Charlie und die Schokoladenfabrik (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory):
"The sound is probably the game's strongest point. The voice-over actors in particular (including the German voice of Johnny Depp) act convincingly from start to finish. The background music is based on the movie soundtrack and creates the appropriate atmosphere."

  

www.gamecaptain.de 08/07/2005 about Madagascar:
"The in-game videos are absolutely worth seeing, which is down to the well-translated humour, the comic-like character design and not least the excellent German actors."

  

www.demonews.de 05/07/2005 about Madagascar:
"Acoustically, on the other hand, I really liked Madagascar. The German actors are totally convincing and professional. Marty, for example, has some really funny lines, the dialogue is wacky and well worth hearing. This goes to prove that licence games can sound good if you choose the right voice-over actors. (...) Madagascar may not be brilliant in the optics department, but that weakness is amply made up for by the professional German actors."

  

www.4players.de 03/07/05 about Madagascar:
"And in one respect, at least, the beginning of Madagascar is able to score: the spirit of the movie. It is not, however, captured by the single snippet of film, but mainly thanks to the German voice-over actors."

  

www.pcdaily.de 01/06/05 about Stronghold 2:
"Along with the beautiful graphics, the creators provide successful sound output including contemporary music and the best possible synchronisation. (...) + good synchronisation"

www.xboxfront.de 10/05/05 about Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith:
"(...) a German 'in-game' synchronisation that includes the original dubbing actors from the movies make the game appear as in indisputable high-class title from the point of the player's hearing organ as well."
 
www.br-online.de 04/05/05 about Stronghold 2:
"(...) The story is good, the graphics are varied and the sound is excellent. Well-known voice over actors tell tales of medieval intrigues and decadent noblemen."

"The German synchronisation is among the best we have heard in the past few years."

  

PC Games 04/05 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"Considering the vast amount of text, it is a real blessing that professional actors were engaged for the complex dialogues (...) The translation is also well done (...) "+ hours of very good voice-overs"

 

PC Powerplay May 2005 about Stronghold 2:
"In the sound department, however, everything fits: good, atmospheric music and professional unit speech - that's as it should be."

 

www.4players.de 29/04/2005 about Stronghold 2:
"Stronghold 2 thrilled me acoustically (...) The good news: The narrators' voices and the villagers' comments are so true to life and so distinctive that they could be used for an audio play. When "Philipp Bocksbeutler" grumbles about taxes or "Frederik Bierheber" complains about the monotonous grub, gruffly amusing atmosphere is created. (...) very good German actors; localisation: very good"

   

www.4players.de 19/03/2005 about Mercenaries:
"The game is accompanied by sound effects that will shake your subwoofer as well as professional German voices: All the actors know what they are doing and give the characters a cool profile thanks to their witty comments – the dialogues with navigator Fiona are particularly enjoyable. (...) localisation: very good"

www.gamigo.de 16/03/2005 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"The sound, on the other hand, is once again wonderful. The opening music from the films and the speech alone are fantastic."
 
www.gameradio.de 16/03/05 about Star Wars: Republic Commando:
"The exemplary localisation deserves further praise. The German version lacks none of the wit and quality of the dialogue - and therefore the atmosphere - of the original. I must certainly take my hat off to Lucasarts for this one. They have definitely earned the Sound Award."
 
www.xboxfront.de 13/03/2005 about Star Wars: Republic Commando:
"The actors are once again well chosen and make the German version into a harmonious product. Localisation has always been an important element of a Lucasarts game's atmosphere and the long years of experience have paid off. I personally regard this title as practically perfect as far as acoustics go and I really wouldn't know what to suggest in order to make an Xbox game more atmospherically detailed than this."
 
www.4players.de 12/03/05 about Star Wars: Republic Commando:
"+ very good localisation"

 

Xbox Zone 3/2005 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"This sound experience is rounded off by the excellent voice output. The many dialogues all sound interesting and very varied. The German synchronisation is very good - far better than in the first part. In what can be classed as a mammoth of a project (several thousand voice files had to be re-recorded), the flair of the English version has been expertly transferred to German. (...) Speech: Once more very extensive. Every race speaks differently. Highly suitable (professional) actors were selected."

 

www.gamezone.de 09/03/2005 about Star Wars: Republic Commando:
"Positive: good German localisation"
 
www.gamecaptain.de 07/03/2005 about Mercenaries:
"One thing that we have positively noted is that every single snippet of speech in the game was carefully translated into German. Few publishers make such an effort these days."

  

www.gamesweb.com 04/03/05 about Mercenaries:
"The entirely German speech is very well done."

  

www.gamecaptain.de 22/02/2005 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"Unlike the discreetly outdated optics, the acoustics of the game are again totally captivating. The aliens speaking in their droll languages and the beeping droids really bring the Star Wars world to life. The other voices, which include actors we know well from television, are also worth hearing. The energy that has gone into the localisation of this project is not to be sneered at - it (sadly) isn't every day you come across such a splendid German version of such a huge title."

  

www.gamezone.de 21/02/2005 about Mercenaries:
"The synchronising actors are just as good as the explosion and combat sounds. The allied general, by the way, is none other than Sam Fischer's superior, whose sonorous voice is perfect for this character."

 

www.4players.de 14/02/2005 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"+ well-translated texts, good actors (...) localisation: very good"
   

www.gamezone.de 10/02/2005 about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II:
"Once again, the game's best side proves to be in the acoustics department: All the dialogues were dubbed by professionals, and they are what adds the suitable atmosphere to the game. The German version of the second instalment of the star saga with a difference was translated in its entirety and is brought to life by actors who are in no way inferior to those of the English original. The enormous amount of recorded text (several hours of speech) must have required a small miracle to be performed at the sound studio during the lavish localisation process. It is a pity that the characters are not as well animated as they sound - they lack practically any trace of facial expressions, which sadly hampers slightly the emotions that the actors bring across so well. (...) The fantastic dialogues, all recorded by highly talented professionals, and the atmosphere created by them are powerful arguments (...) excellently spoken dialogues (...) very good German localisation."

 

www.4players.de 06/02/2005 about Lemony Snicket - Rätselhafte Ereignisse:

www.gamecaptain.de 30/01/05 about Lemony Snicket - Rätselhafte Ereignisse:

"Fans and friends of the TV series with the same name in particular will be pleased with the sound, which not only includes many familiar rhythms and effects, but also and especially very good German voice-overs. Not a single sentence creates the impression that the actors don't know what's going on. On the contrary: They seem to be totally involved in the story. Computer freak Marshall Flinkman in particular is fantastically weird."

Knights of the Old Republic is our new reference when it comes to music, sound effects and speech."

The actors' performance is highly believable and they have put acoustic life into even the smallest phrase. (...) a lot of wit, excellent German acting (...) localisation: very good"
