Voice was a little off-putting. Test run of a new mic, perhaps?

Also, I was a little disappointed that there was no mention of the "It's a-me, Mario" line which is said in the game.

From what I've heard and seen so far, its clear that AC 2 is better than the first. I enjoyed the first to a degree but I just can't afford it right now. Even if I could I've still got Dragon Age and Borderlands (can I assume this won't be review?ed) to go.

And the sound quality this week was just... well, a massive change and not for the better.

I think he's using new audio equipment. When I first started listening to it I was thrown off. This is Yahtzee? Or did he bring in another guest reviewer? But no it's him, he's just using better audio equipment...I think...well it's different I know that.

Only other explanation: he's using a friend's computer because he fried his audio card, or he threw his computer out the window out of frustration or something. But it's still him. Or maybe he's just trying something different.

If thats true he should get his old mic back.

Yeah, but not that different. I kept expecting some gag to reveal it was actually someone else.

It sounds to me like he was consciously pitching his voice lower. Perhaps to sound more like one of those Italian tossers he was talking about? Of course he should have remember from the Mario lesson that all Italians are intended to hit the soprano notes with the tone of a dying mouse.

Or it could have just been a practice lesson for voice acting.

yea I noticed his voice was a little different, but he sounded normal towards the end of the video.

Also I wasn't disappointed by the fact the flying machine being used only once because it had some crappy controls. I still have a couple missions to go in the game and hope I do not have to fly the damn thing again.

You've gotta love when idiots are clamoring so hard to "FIRST" the video's comments that the whole site dies for a half-minute! Thanks, fuckwads!

Yahtzee: nice mic! Is that a Heil PR-40? Sounds like either that or some sort of nice condenser mic.

Well, aside from his voice being all weird, good review; had to laugh at the bit with the jurassic park reference.

Yes the voice sounds a bit odd. I would bet on either cold or new mic.

What's up with Yahtzee's voice? New mic? Someone else doing his job? Balls finally drop?

I couldn't concentrate on the video because his voice sounded so different. It was like watching a movie where the audio wasn't synched properly to the video.

I hope that gets fixed soon (or I get use to the new sound). I look forward to my Wednesday rant from Yahtzee.

Ha, I love the Jurassic Park reference :D
"start hunting in packs" - Clever Girl.
Good one, although sounds like you have a throat infection Yahtzee.

Perhaps Yahtzee has one of those weird summer colds that float around the beautiful Australian beaches while those of us in the northern hemisphere are freezing our balls off.

It didn't stop me from enjoying the revelation that Ass Creed 2 is better than Ass Creed 1, Ubisoft is still employing plenty of morons and I'm not the only one who thinks gnocchi is awesome.
