Well, if you read any of Underlord's post in the "main" Walking Dead thread he's got a friend who played a version with them in there (or at least Rick I believe) and apparently Stern has heard everyone's dislike of the current voice work and may be working to reinstate that code in an update.

I just hope that update is what ships with the LE's and perhaps is the reason they're slightly delayed?

I was really excited preordered. Then a bit let down when I heard the voice work, but as the LE's are about to ship I've found myself excited again to get it. Even if I have to drop another G to get all the cool extra toys.

Seems like most people who like the theme and or The Walking Dead are very pleased so far and well naturally there are some who just aren't going to like it no matter what. I'm most likely in the camp that will like it in spite of any flaws it may have, because I love the theme and the art so much.
