"Audio is simply bizarre. Dialogue is poorly recited, with obtrusive, diverse accents reminiscent of Monty Python skits popping up all over the place. The lead has a habit of repeating catchphrases like "Don't be afraid of the barking dog, be afraid of the silent dog!"
The accents are all very good. In some other review, they go on and on about the accents not sounding russian.
Well, guess what? The game is not set in Russia. Most of the characters are not Russian. Most of the people in the actual soviet union of old, in fact, were not Russian.
The main character does not have a thick Moscovite accent and speak in a harsh monotone, but more of a more traditional Russian accent. The stuff he says is also rather varied and makes sense for the tone at hand. Overall the dialog he has and the voice acting is very likeable.
The German accents are a little nazi-ized at times, but if you have been to Germany or know Germans the accents don't seem NEARLY as over the top as say, ANY OTHER game set around WWII ever made.
As for saying the thor's hammer people are nazi's it's just stupid - they, too, come from a variety of countries. If you even played this game, I have no idea how you could reach such stupid conclusions.
Basically, these people are just fucking idiots.
The biggest complaint I have is it's not obvious at tiems what to do -like, you know what you need to do, but not how. It can be annoying. Everything else, I like. The combat is even more realistic than the other games, too, and you can get stuffed in 5 seconds trying to 'rambo' your way through but at the same time you don't end up sneaking for 9 hours either so it's a good balance of realism and playbility.
I still wish it had as much polish to the GUI as jagged alliance, but you get used to the quirks.
