Press quotes from 2001:
December 2001
Gamespot.de about Oni:
"The music is adapted to the plot, the German voice-over actors are handpicked ..."
December 2001
www.rpgdot.com about Gothic:
"... eagerly unpacked the CD and installed the game ... and I was really confident with the quality of the English actors - as good as in the German version. While gameplay hasn't changed at all of course, the actors sound professional and the game will for sure leave its mark worldwide now. A big kudos to Piranha Bytes, both for the game itself and for the great English localization!"
December 2001
Gamezone.com about Gothic:
"The score and voices of Gothic are obviously the results of an extraordinary amount of attention. Voice acting must have been determined by nothing less than auditions - I can't recall a game with such animated and varied voice acting."
December 2001
justadventure.com about Gothic:
"I was impressed with the quality of the dialog. When a game is translated into English, the conversations are often stilted and unnatural. This is not the case with the Gothic preview, and Piranha Bytes is to be commended for the smooth transition between languages"
December 2001
Gamestar about Stronghold:
"Fun without a language barrier - Flawless localisation - German castellans may sigh with relief: The translation is so excellent, they will get just as much enjoyment out of Stronghold as their English colleagues."
December 2001
Computer Bild Spiele about Stronghold:
"Voice talents/commentaries and texts/subtitles of the German version: First-rate"
November 2001
Multimedia-Reporter about Stronghold:
"A lot has been done for eager listeners. The musical backdrop is practically perfect, the voice-overs and sounds are excellent - regarding the VOs, that is also true for the texts."
October 2001
Gamesweb.com about Stronghold:
"(...) Our praise goes to the dubbing actors, who did a great job bringing the dry humour of the British actors to the German version. Sir Longarm and Lord Woolsack in particular are great fun, and I had to stop myself from laughing whenever they began to argue."
August 2001
Gamespot.de about Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force:
"Of course, some of the characters still appear slightly wooden in their movements, but the German synchronisation makes up for this with the original voices from the series (...) The technical talk that the series is so well known for is combined with the Voyager crew's typical characteristics: Tuvok comes across as a typical cool Vulcan, while Paris is effusively amusing. The game lacks neither allusions to Neelix's cooking nor the typical conversions in the ship's corridors."
June 2001
PC Action about Z2: Steel Soldiers:
"The voice-overs are a true acoustic highlight: As with the predecessor, the robots' comments liven up an otherwise stressful game."
January 2001
Gamestar about Giants: Citizen Kabuto:
"The game was translated in its entirety, the voice output is a success with regard to both the voices and the level of language."
