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.
Lern 2 haet rite

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.
