Worst Lip Sync in a Video Game

I just finished replaying The Darkness for the umpteenth time. The game itself is pretty fun, but the lip synchronization is absolutely terrible. It was as if I was watching English Dubbed Anime, only it wasn't Anime, it WAS THE MOTHERFUCKING DARKNESS!

That brings me to my question, in your opinion, what video game has the worst lip sync imaginable? I'm talking ABSOLUTE WORST.

PACMAN!

Not much conversation here but still... most games today do a confortable job of making the lips sync with the voice but one in particular has to go to Clive Barker's Jericho. One of them spoke soooo out of turn with his voice it was actually funny to watch.

Obviously Oblivion and Fallout 3

It isn't a horrible lip sync but I think it relates, it is horrible English voice acting.

I'm really hoping that's fake.

yea i agree the lip sync is kinda annoying

MGS2 has a pretty bad sync, but great voice acting so it kinda balances

It is not that was the real voice over done by the CEO's family.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, my Gods, it's shameful.

It is not. I'm sorry.

There was a good reason my brothers and I changed the language to Japanese. Worst example of the English dubbing was probably this:

"I found you... faker!"
"Faker? I think you're the faker around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You're not even goI'll make you eat those words!ake."

Star Ocean 4 is pretty bad with the lip sync

Shadow the Hedgehog was worse hands down.

Final Fantasy X. I only played snippets, but it felt like an old Godzilla movie.

Hey, I remember that :) ..........now if only I forget about it again..........

Ive seen some pretty bad stuff, but a mate of mine did one for media studies a while back, it was shocking

Mercenaries 2. Fun game, but watching Fiona talk without even opening her mouth was horrific.

Why? Why? WHY? HAVE NONE OF YOU SAID WARCRAFT 3!!!

Once my Kotor game glitched and none of the people moved their mouths. But otherwise nothing too bad.

None of the words Gordon Freeman said matched up with his mouth.
As such a dialog heavy character, you think Valve would do a better job on him
Geez Valve

Any sonic 3-D game.

I personally saw Sonic Adventure DX to be much worse. I mean, it wasn't just lips...it was the whole damn face...and they were always doing squats...

I never found that clip annoying or any proof. In the heat of anger of frustration (especially in an argument), it's quite common for people to speak over each other. =]

...........

Also, Dawn of War II's lip synching is god awful! It's like they're puppets!

Infinite Undiscovery/Star Ocean 4.

You've got a good point there. However, the audio also clips in other scenes where it's inappropriate, and the Japanese voices sync like they should. So it was probably a legitimate issue and not method acting.
