I agree that call outs are another aspect that immerses the player into the game and when they are not good there is a bit of disconnect. That doesn't mean the game can't still be good, it just takes away from the experience though. The metallica call outs are just plain bad. I was thinking of getting a premium down the road but after hearing the whole sound package I don't think I will. This is a machine that needs epic sound to be successful Imo.
