| If you had it to do over, you would do it like Jake Gyllenhaal? Fail, Mr. North, fail. |

| Not even his voice acting could save this train wreck of a game. I thought it was terrible. Artistic, but terrible as a game. |

| @6 Yeah a game where you can't die, have no challenge at all, and fight the same 4 bosses over and over again. Awesome! |

| I thought he did a great job at Prince of Persia. I know his voice didn't match the character but I loved how he made the Prince's character funny and cool. |

| Aww, don't say that Nolan! I thought his version of the Prince was awesome. If you think about it, people that speak foreign languages to each other don't think they have an accent, so why should he? The game's set in Persia, they're speaking persian. |

I wasn't too fond of this game either...
I thought it was boring. |

I really enjoyed the game, it could've been a little more challenging though, and it had some annoying bugs and crashed a few times while playing, but god damn it was so beautiful and everything just looked amazing, the story was meh, but I really enjoyed the boss fights, as simple as they were (And repetitive) they just gave you some amazing scenery to look at, like when you're fighting the Alchemist and you're high up on those big balloon things and you can see all the world around you, and it's like oh my god I wish I could stay still and enjoy this view it's so gorgeous!
... They need to make a sequel JUST for the art style and world... it doesn't even need a story, just make it look as amazing as it did the first time around, let me run around and climb stuff, and I'll throw my entire wallet at you!
(Seriously, one of the most graphically impressive games I've ever played just for the art style alone)
... None of that was on-topic though, aside from the game...
I didn't really mind North's voice, although truth be told I'm fed up of hearing him in games anyway, he never puts any accents on, and when he does, it's not very convincing and you still know it's him... |

| I really wanted to like this game but it really suffered from linear gameplay. Whenever you entered a new area, your options were to QTE run either clockwise, or counter-clockwise. The art style was terrific. I could forgive Nolan's accent because of the quality of Nolan's voicework. Loved the three or four bad guys, but the whole thing just felt like it was on rails. Oh, and all the trophy tiles are the same. Boo. |

Good choice 'cuz most of his other roles are top notch. This definitely had, as he said, a disconnect from the game world. It would almost be like giving Drake an Italian accent.
The guy's got range... look at Sigmund from R&C: A Crack in Time or the Penguin from Arkham City. Why make him go with his standard every man role that's used in Uncharted?
Ubisoft: Okay, Mister North. What we have planned is you just using your normal voice... oh and we're not doing a sequel, as we pursue oversaturation of the Assassin's Creed franchise. |

| I loved this game, it was a nice relaxing trip that wasn't too hard. Challenging enough to figure out how to get all the light seeds and navigate the map, but never frustrating. I thought his voice suited a more laid back game, kept it funny and light hearted :-) |

| @11 You do know that Nolan North voiced Dr. Richtofan from CoD Zombies right? So he can do accents and he can do a damn good job of them. |

I thought this game was ok, it got a bit too repetitive and the fact you only fought one enemy at a time made it a little boring.
Yeah, his accent should have been different, but sounds like that choice was out of his hands. |

It's true that a middle-American accent don't suit the Prince too good, I grew up with the agile bastard & I can't get used to the reboot accent lol, and as much as I hate the british accent, I found it quite fitting in the movie, though if they had gone bold and had him speak persian would've been even cooler, but movie-goers in the states don't like subtitles, or so I'm told
That said, a middle-American accent is my favorite flavor of spoken english, it's clean, straight and not being a native english speaker it's the easiest one to understand & imitate, I can't understand what people from any of the British countries are saying half of the time lol, no offence intended, but much of it sounds as gibberish, but in writing I'd give the queens english the highest point, has a romance to it the other versions of engligh don't have...off topic...I'm rambling today... :-P |

"I’m a proud American, but there’s not that much flair to the American accent. There’s not much of a romantic style to an American accent, necessarily."
I'd say it's more like anyone's own accent won't seem romantic or having a lot of flair to her or him, or at least if it's the most common accent around where you live or in the media.
Haven't played that game in English, though, but I thought the Prince character was an annoying idiot anyways in that one and only at least a little likable because that Elika (?) was even worse. |
