Hell no. The IM voice actor has a midwestern accent. The computer of course is British.

Quoted from Winball_Pizard:This is headed in the right direction. Music sounds great! » YouTube video
Am I the only one who hears "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
The flow, rules and dots look great in this video. In theory, couldn't you could use Pinball Browser to completely replace ALL of the audio with music and actor's speech from the show? That's very tempting. It would be hard to match the duration for the callouts, though.
Quoted from DutchTommy:i dissagree on the must having actor voices statement! i mean ac/dc didnt had any voices of the musicians themselves doin callouts or Pirates of the Caribbean.. still they are top games in my book!
People don't go to AC/DC shows to hear them talk, and the voice actor for POTC was at least TRYING to sound like Jack Sparrow.
Quoted from MikeS:I'm glad it's basically an unbranded zombie bashing game. Could you imagine if it had missions that closely followed the TV show.
- Hit drop targets and try to convince Beth not to commit suicide.
- Hit alternating ramp shots 30 times to contemplate whether to kill zombie family members in barn.
- Conceal the pregnancy mode followed by "Who's the daddy" reveal shot and Shane vs. Rick battle.
- Hit combos to perform surgery on Carl
It's easy to pick plot lines that don't work in a pin; it takes a little more thought to identify the ones that really do:
- Escape from Atlanta
- Defend the Farm
- Prison Battle (vs. the Governor)
- WHERE'S CARL??
Quoted from paul_8788:Understand your frustration, but we know nothing about the licensing restrictions from AMC. Maybe they weren't allowed to use any voices from the show. Maybe getting actors from the show to do custom voice work was not allowed either by AMC or by some exhorbitant cost. Dunno. Some intellectual properties are more locked down than others. It isn't like Stern never uses voice actors from the properties when they can.
I have a hunch that you're right - this is probably on AMC, not Stern.
Quoted from deeznuts:People that didn't buy should zip it.
You can shut down non-buyers easily. Start a "Members Only" thread, and drain the rest of TWD threads so you don't have to hear any criticism. Or you could start a whole 'nother forum like they did for WOZ.
Quoted from Solder_Splash:Ah I get it. It's even funnier now.
Here's a great video about Andrew Lincoln developing Rick's accent:
Quoted from Jvspin:From all the posts I've read, seems to me the people expressing their disappointment are the ones that were really excited because they are Walking Dead fans.
Also seems like the people who were more interested in a generic zombie pin aren't so bothered by the lack of character voices, or prefer it as it makes the game "timeless".
Makes sense to me.
Best summary I've read yet. I think someone did the math on TWD fans vs. generic zombie fans, and decided that the TWD audience was smaller, or not worth the additional cost for licensing the audio. Sucks for us TWD fans, but I'm happy for the Joe-Bob Zombie fans. The irony is that I never would have started watching TWD if Stern hadn't released the pin.
Quoted from zucot:Name one iconic line from TWD show. (CARL! doesnt count.)
None of the speech in Stern's LOTR was "iconic" when that game came out; putting it in the pin is what MADE it iconic.
OK, iconic speech from TWD:
Rick: There's us and the dead. We survive this by pulling together, not apart.
Rick: How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why?
The Governor: You kill, or you die.
Rick: We all can change; we're not too far gone. Governor: Liar!
Shane: I don't think you can keep them safe.
Hershel: You walk outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. Nowadays you breath and you risk your life. You don’t have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you’re risking it for.
Bob: End of the world don't mean shit when you got a tank.
Maggie: You see 11 condoms, I see 11 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.
Bob: Everybody makes it until they don't.
Hershel: I'll control my people, you control yours.
Daryl: You lost your hand because you're a simple minded piece of shit.
Rick: You don't know what it's like out there. You may think you do but you don't.
Merle: Damn, you're cold as ice, officer friendly

Quoted from Atomicboy:I just think the magnet/bash toy two ramps combo is so old.
Something like the Baywatch layout re-themed for TWD would have been awesome. No bash toy, just lots of diverters and kickout holes. And make a ramp to go "over the fence" to get into the prison, like the lifeguard stand in Baywatch.
