That accent is a total mess. The french one is pretty poor too. How hard is it to actually hire a voice actor from the country you are trying to portray?

I read an interview with Ken Levine a while back about Bioshock. He said they weren't going to hire the guy who voiced Atlas at first because they didn't think he sounded Irish enough.

That's the thing about the Irish accent. To foreigner's the Irish don't sound Irish. That's why they have to have caricature accents so people know they're Irish.

I was watching the E3 footage and I get the same impression. It seemed very GTA like in arcade quality. But that may not be a bad thing. It could turn out to be a hell of a lot of fun.
