Game with cutscenes so bad they are good

[Vectorman0]

I'm looking for all games with cutscenes that are so terrible they end up being immensely entertaining and hopefully hilarious. Some people might not "get it," but I think most the forum is with me on this and knows what I am talking about. Games from any generation are appreciated, but older games with bad cutscenes are probably more plentiful and worse in production quality.(read: better in this case) There was a recent thread on this subject, but focused on such titles with good gameplay. I really don't mind terribly gameplay if the cutscenes make up for it.

I'll start it off:

Last Alert - Turbografx CD
Minnesota Fats Pool Legend - Saturn
Robinson's Requiem - 3DO

The Zelda CD-i ones, especially The Faces of Evil.

I mean, Link can't wait to eat some dodongos, MAH BOII.

Maximum Chase on Xbox

[-_-Nintendo-_-]

Megaman 8 for the PS1 has some pretty bad cut scenes.

[Trevelyan]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis with the voice-over soundtrack.

[Dangerboy]

Off-World Interceptor

THe cinematics were so poorly acted the developer recognized it themselves, and at the last second turned it into an MST3K parody - i.e. two guys sit there in front of the cinemas ripping it apart while you watch.

I always think of Prince of Persia for the Sega CD when I think of bad cut scenes.

The graphics were decent but the voice overs were hysterical.

Good games with cheesy FMV:

The voice acting and dialog for Castlevania: SotN wins hands down.

Great thread! Animal Soccer World is pretty amazing:

So is Shinobi X for Saturn:

There's gotta be more 90s-era FMV stuff out there...any ideas?

I remember Kingdom: The Far Reaches for 3do had some pretty funny voice acting to it. I liked playing the game back in the day, but some of the stuff they'd say just made me laugh.

See, whenever I think of this, I can't seem to get:

"Do you think that love can bloom...even on a battlefield?"

(then, in rip-off-of-Snake-Plissken-voice)
"I believe love can bloom anytime; anywhere."

out of my head.

Metal Wolf Chaos for the Xbox (jpn release). The president of the US fighting the vice president in a mech?? Doesn't get much cheesier than this and it makes the game, which is fun on it's own anyway.

[Push Upstairs]

The voice acting and dialog for Castlevania: SotN wins hands down.

To which I reply:

"WHAT IS A MAN?"

[omnedon]

Wonder Dog for the SEGACD.

Puns like Dog-tor Kibble (Doctor Kibble)


Good God. The day I plugged that in (when it was a full priced new release) I was beginning to question the wisdom of my $400 SEGACD add-on.

Sewer shark and ground zero texas, Both on Sega CD.

"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIGHT!!!" - from Devil May Cry. What should have been the most heartfelt scene in the game hilariously phails when Dante's voice crackles like mine in a moment of faltering puberty. Here be it for thou (at 1:17): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obPYsLZwhxE

On the subject of action games that kick ass albeit have cheesy VA-ing... "I swear my victory to this feather!" - from Rygar: The Legendary Adventure. Sadly, I can't find the video for this one, but it occurs after you beat Typhon. Frickin' hilarious, though.

And now, for a slight curiosity: No More Heroes. The acting in the game now totally kicks ass, IMO. But before they got in professionals for the actual game, the trailer... I'm almost certain Suda 51 made Travis sound laughable on purpose. Plus, Sylvia with a Southern accent? Just doesn't suit her. Let's watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGtgqw3IsVI

Alright, think that's all for now. As DefaultGen said, you just can't beat Resident Evil for total horrendousness. Then again, this was back when voice acting in games was given very little regard. What a long way we've come since then, eh?

The Wand of Gamelon for CD-i.
"Oh Boy, I'm so hungry, I could eat an Octorok."

The voice acting and dialog for Castlevania: SotN wins hands down.

Castle Shikigami 2 is up there. Audio Atrocities has a webpage with various sound clips from this game (exhibit A/clip 1 and clip 9 are especially cheesy...)
