Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard give voices to 'Iron Man' video game

To catch up the few people who live under a rock, Downey plays Tony "Iron Man" Stark, Howard plays Lt. Colonel James Rhodes (who later becomes War Machine). Toub has a more minor role, playing fellow Afghanistan captive Yin Sen. We wonder if he'll fill in the same role as Bruce "Don't call me Ash" Campbell in the Spider-Man games as a tutorial guide. The Iron Man game is expected to arrive just before the film's May 2 release.

Well that's good. I've played quite a few movie-games, and nothing bugs me more than characters whose voices aren't made by the right people.

Bad voice acting bugs you more than bad gameplay and glitches? ;P

...darn you.
Okay, many things bug me about movie-games, one of those things being weird voices.

I hope the voice acting isn't as bad as the Spidey games.

Looks like a step in the right direction...I'm still skeptical though. You've got Sega and a video game movie. 2 things that generally suck combined? Hopefully 2 negatives make a positive.

SEGA makes good games.
SONIC TEAM makes horrible games.

Odd, the movie (from what I've seen) looks woefully cheesy, while the game is seeming to turn out...pretty good? This is some bizarro world-type shit right here.
PS Robert Downey Jr. is the fucking man.

The movie is supposed to be cheesy. That's the fun of it :)

So they are hoping adding phoned in VOs will convince people over twelve a game based off a movie will be fun (and original).

HE'S A DUDE PLAYING A DUDE DISGUISED AS ANOTHER DUDE!!

Hopefully this game, and the movie, don't disappoint.

If you base a good game on its achievements, I guess you could consider it slightly mediocre...?

Unless they get Ghostface to lay some vocal tracks down, I ain't buying.

For referencing Futurama, Ross gets more Mega Fonzies on his cool-o-meter.
