Even if the game isn't perfect, it's a revolutionary step, a darn bold one to make by both accepting a slower rate of play, and by the voice controls. Personally, I'd love to see more intelligence built into games like any of the Tom Clancy series - interact not only with your team by voice, but FAIL to interact with them if you haven't radios, are out of shouting distance, etc., and perhaps even talk with opponents instead of having only the option of killing them. Hmm, come to think of it, it's a natural integration into something like The Elder Scrolls. Anyway, for all of these games, the object is immersion, and using your voice is a step in the right direction. Wow!
