www.justgamers.de about Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike:
|
|
"The sound department has always been one of Factor 5's strengths, as they have proved yet again. Convincing VO, crystal clear sound effects and a good mix of well-known melodies from the Star Wars trilogy and new compositions create a suitable atmosphere."
|

4players.de about True Crime: Streets of LA:
|
|
"In this context, we must address the German localisation. The decision to keep the game in the English original and only to add German subtitles has been realised very well."

4players.de about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC Version)
|
|
"On your way you will be constantly influenced by your comrades, as they will comment on your actions, provoke you, argue amongst each other or simply make stupid jokes - not only including the appropriate mimics and gestures, but also completely in German. 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"

rpgamer.com about Gothic 2:
|
|
"Exposition is not heavy-handed at all, and the translation from German is marvelous. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that this game was written in English."

December 2003
4players.de about Secret Weapons Over Normandy:
|
|
"An acoustic delight. (...) But best of all is the very good German voice output, with the constant radio transmissions that create a tremendous atmosphere; the musical soundtrack is especially fantastic, and despite pompous dramatics is kept discreetly in the background. (...) Great localisation: very good."
|

www.4players.de about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC Version)
|
|
"Games of the Year 2003, Best Voice Output PC: BioWare has set a stunningly high standard for future role-playing games."

ghome.de about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC Version)
|
|
"If an RPG is to be really good, it needs good dialogue and, preferably, voice output. This is exactly where Knights of the Old Republic excels. The texts have been written and thought out perfectly. (...) The respective voice-overs have been adapted very well. The choice of voices takes some getting used to at first, but once you get to know the characters, you will realise that their voices match them perfectly. (...) Knights of the Old Republic is our new reference when it comes to music, sound effects and speech."

VGA about Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy:
|
|
"Outstanding German dialogue (Luke Skywalker's original German voice)."
|
|
October 2003
Gamestar about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"Optically, the peg leg varnish of the slightly sterile-seeming Tropico 2 has begun to peel off a little. However, witty VO and rousing Calypso rhythms still create a real holiday atmosphere."
|
|
October 2003
NEWSFLASH about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"The VO is also very good: Drama veteran Wolfgang Völz, the voice of Käpt'n Blaubär, provides a lot of wit."
|
|
October 2003
Gamestar about Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy:
|
|
"Activision has earned extra praise for the German version. In Germany, Jedi Knight 3 is released uncensored, neatly translated and along with the original German voices of the series' heroes."
|
|
October 2003
BRAVO Screenfun about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"... Great missions, an atmospheric presentation and Käpt'n Blaubär's voice make this otherwise dry economic game interesting."
|
|
19.09.2003
4players.de about Gothic 2: Die Nacht des Raben:
|
|
"The usual professional German voice-overs will again delight players, as they fit the characters ideally. Pirates, for example, use a dialect that makes them sound just like someone from Hamburg or the German coast ought to."
|
|
July 2003
PC Action about Star Trek: Elite Force 2:
|
|
"German synchronisation: exemplary. The sound proved particularly good. For one thing, the German VO sounds excellent and includes the original voices from the series (...)"
|
|
July 2003
VGA about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"... Support is given not only by a log containing a mine of information and statistics, but also by an assistant called Smitty, who offers really useful advice in Käpt'n Blaubär's original voice.

4players.de about Star Trek: Elite Force 2:
|
|
"Acoustically, Elite Force 2 is full of power: Of course, the highlight is the speech, which not only includes the original German voices of Picard and Tuvok, but also keeps players involved with wit and interesting dialogue. There are conversations everywhere - students at Starfleet Academy discuss lessons with their teachers, crewmen on board the Enterprise chat about the return of the starship Voyager ... Particular praise is earned by a dialogue you will overhear quite by chance on a Klingon base: If you eavesdrop on a certain group of people, you will hear a famous and hilariously corrupted Star Wars dialogue. Also, you can address practically any of the people you meet. They will either answer you with a "Sorry, I don't have the time", or else start chatting to you."

treknews.de about Star Trek: Elite Force 2:
|
|
"The whole thing was well-synchronised by the original VO actors from the television series."
|

Avault about Blitzkrieg
|
|
"You'll hear many vocal order acknowledgements, and they're great. We're always grateful for soldiers able to speak their own languages, so the concomitant lack of comedy-accented English is another victory of sincerity and common sense for Blitzkrieg. A few neat surprises, like incidental shouts and curses, rounded out the speech nicely."

Demonews.de about Sherlock Holmes: Das Geheimnis der Mumie
|
|
"The German voice output is excellent thanks to the good choice of actors."
|
|
June 2003
www.spielmaschine.de about Star Trek: Elite Force 2:
|
|
"Let's come to the voice-overs. The game was translated in its entirety, including the speech output. The characters were flawlessly synchronised by the original German voice actors. Not only is the grammar without fault, but each character's lip movements match the spoken language very well."
|
|
09.05.2003
www.4players.de about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"Käpt'n Blaubär's talking. Assistant Smitty's voice - though rarely heard and not always helpful - is beyond all praise, as it is the voice of the esteemed Wolfgang Völz, the famous Käpt'n Blaubär. Since the game was translated flawlessly, players can also read his advice. There are very few sounds in the game, e.g. when a construction has been completed.Localisation rating: excellent"

May 2003
Bayern 3 Online about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"Personal assistant "Smitty" makes sure trainee pirates don't forget anything. Actor Wolfgang Völz is ideally cast for the part - after all, he is also the voice of Käpt'n Blaubär and knows all about sailors' yarns ...
"

May 2003
Gamestar about Tropico 2 - Pirate Cove:
|
|
"The definite highlight is pirate instructor Smitty, dubbed by actor Wolfgang Völz. In the cocky manner typical of Käpt'n Blaubär, he gives out useful hints on how to improve the settlement."

Computer Bild Spiele about American Conquest:
