Yohein Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I've heart most of LucasArts adventure games acting (I mean the English version, of course). Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Full Throttle, The Dig, Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango... and I think Grim Fandango has the best acting. Monkey Island acting is brilliant too, but especially in Monkey 4 I missed some "liveliness" in certain dialogues (specially after playing the Spanish version). But Grim Fandango looks perfect for me in everything. All the voices are perfectly chosen and do a fantastic job. What do you think? Do you think it's the best acting too or not?

VampireNaomi Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 When I saw the title I thought you were asking who was the best actor in GF and I went "How can we choose?" Then I read what you really were saying. Yeah, I agree. Haven't really seen anything that had such a brilliant and stable cast as GF. There are other games with brilliant voice acting, but they usually include a few lesser actors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuz Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The acting was so polished in Grim. Although the only thing that I thought felt out of place was Hector's cheesey joke near the end. I forget what he says exactly but he says something then "Get it? Leaf?" and then goes on to laugh in a really children's-movie-villian way.

Samnmax221 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Like a few other Lucasarts titles it contains some actuel talent (Tony Plana) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I actually thought that was quite fitting, Shuz; it highlighted quite nicely how unseriously Hector treats death (within death). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 James Kevin Ward — incorrectly credited on IMDB for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohein Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 I agree with Thrik. I liked that phrase Hector says. In fact, I think it fits very well with the acting Hector had, because in some phrases he looked like a "big kid", with those little laughter he was always doing.

Yohein Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Well, he has the control of a whole city (or even more), so I think he's not THAT stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuz Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Ah well, I just liked the shadowy, conniving, scheming Hector of Year 1 more than the jokey, giggling one in Year 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flibbo Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hector made the age old mistake of getting careless as he became more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Yeah. When will villains learn that you should never leave the protagonist to die on his/her own? Always be there and make sure they do kick the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I allways liked the part in Year 1 when Don Copal gets shot, I'll admit that the climax at the Greenhouse was a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuz Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah. When will villains learn that you should never leave the protagonist to die on his/her own? Always be there and make sure they do kick the bucket. From Austin Powers: Dr. Evil: All right guard, begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism. [guard starts dipping mechanism] Dr. Evil: Close the tank! Scott Evil: Wait, aren't you even going to watch them? They could get away! Dr. Evil: No no no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What? Scott Evil: I have a gun, in my room, you give me five seconds, I'll get it, I'll come back down here, BOOM, I'll blow their brains out! Dr. Evil: Scott, you just don't get it, do ya? You don't. Ah, what a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That's exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the previous comment. Such a brilliant movie. I never get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baja Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I thought a great example was when you get locked into Glottis' shed in year one, and Sal is outside talking to you in silhouette. I've always loved that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
