The voice acting is mediocre.

Especially Athena and Hermes. The characters are very forgettable too. Anyone else feels that way too?

Athena's voice was horrible. it doesn't help that she always shouts the rage of the spartans skill too. it's still better than Atlas on GOW2 though..

Hermes voice was perfect enough to make us hate him. He's supposed to be a douche and sound like one.

Azarath.Metrion.Zinthos.

Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but Rip Torn was the voice of HephaesTUS-- not sure why it's listed as Hephaes on the main page... and I thought he did a good job; one of the best in the game.

The only voice acting I thought was strait up terrible was the 3 judges. Sooo campy and cartoony sounding. Athena was definitely not good, but she was at least passable in my eyes. Unsurprisingly the best voices were Hercules, Hephestus, and Deadelus.

c'mon. They weren't that bad. All the actors did a decent job as usual. They couldn't help it that they were given crappy video-game one liners. The only voice that I felt was too feeble and was done better in the second game was that of Zeus. When I heard him speak, it almost felt like Kratos was more mighty than he was.

I thought Hermes was mediocre and Pandora a little irritating.Other than that I found the voice-acting to be flawless,especially Zeus and Hades aside from the man himself,Kratos.

I really enjoyed Hermes' voice acting. It really suits him when he is taunting Kratos while being chased. 'Never, ever learn. Never, ever change' I thought those lines were delivered quite well.

Regarding the voice acting, I'd say that most everyone did at least a decent job. But I just think that they should've given the bigger ones like Gaia and Hephaestus more thunder in their voices since they're so big. Cronos's was perfect though. But I suppose when you're like 10,000 feet tall, that's pretty much a must. If there was any grey area with voice acting that I didn't particularly like though it would have to be that of Hercules, ironically voiced by Kevin Sorbo. But it wasn't so much the voice that I didn't like as it was how they did his character.
