May 2004
www.gamezone.de about Alias:
"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."
