Of course this is all opinion, but audio is a huge factor in whether I keep a game or not. I would MUCH rather hear the humorous callouts in MM as opposed to the hokey, over-the-top female announcer in ToM. She is like a female Doug Henning. Haha.

I do understand that many of these games were programmed to catch someone's attention in an arcade and needed to compete with many other sounds, but in a home environment (to me, at least) games with this type of overly-dramatic announcer (also see WCS) wear out their welcome faster. CV is the exception to the rule for me...I just enjoy the gameplay, and at least there is the 'Ringmaster' voice, as well as the announcer.
