Whatever the case, I think Brad's right-bad voice talent is better than none at all. Perhaps Square was trying to spare us the pitiful voice acting of the Resident Evil games, or perhaps Square was just cutting corners on the game's budget (because hiring voice talent, even bad voice talent, is expensive).
It threw me to see all of this dialogue going back and forth and yet everything staying quiet. As Brad says, the characters talk to each other like mimes-making lots of gestures but no noise-with subtitles along the bottom. What I didn't expect was the lack of spoken dialogue.
I expected the enemies that attack you before you can even see them. I expected the scene in which we get to watch Aya take a nap and a shower in the monster-infested hotel (how could she possibly sleep when monsters are practically in the next room?). Just about everything else in this game was fully expected. Consequently, all logic is thrown out the window. But as in any other game of this type, you have to keep reminding yourself it's just that-a game. They're not even challenging-they're tedious. Puzzles like that don't make much sense to me. But in Parasite Eve II, Aya has to turn on the power to the lift fuss with the hydraulic controls open an iron gate from the other side go back fuss with the controls again and finally get to the door the car was blocking by going through the unlocked gate (whew). Any reasonably fit human being could easily climb over the car to get to the door (it's a small sedan for crying out loud). Another puzzle that comes to mind is one in which an old car on a hydraulic lift is blocking a door that Aya needs access to.

Instead of breaking the already cracked and ancient front window, or simply taking out her assault rifle and blowing the lock on the door to smithereens, Aya has to find some rope so she can lower herself into a well (which of course is dark as hell and filled with monsters) and use a secret underground passage to get into the store. There's one part in which Aya can't open a locked door to a deserted and wrecked general store out in the desert, but of course she has to get in there. To me, they didn't seem very reasonable at all. I have to disagree with Brad concerning the puzzles that must be solved in Parasite Eve II.
After so many attempts by various developers at this kind of game-without any of the basic design changing-it gets a little tiresome. All the stuff with the magic and mitochondria is all well and good, but the game still looks and plays just like all the other survival horror games. However, I have to question why Squaresoft didn't try to do something else with this game beyond sticking to the standard horror formula. If you have a heavily-armed police force that's trained specifically for reducing monsters to kibbles and bits, why only send the frail-looking chick? Why not send them all? It seems like your chances of success would be much higher, right? I guess if we attempt to answer such a question we wouldn't have a game though, so that point is moot. That's only one of the things about these horror games that I've never understood. Of course all the locations where the monsters like to hide are desolate and spooky, and even though Aya makes several gun-toting friends on location, she ends up doing most of the monster blasting on her own. And just like the STARS team in Resident Evil, MIST not only sends one person at a time into the monster fray, but they also expect her to do it all by herself! Pretty demanding job if you ask me. I must admit that Squaresoft has the formula nailed-the still photographic scenery the awkward control-scheme the zombie-like bad guys-and let's not forget the beautiful heroine who does all her fighting in a leather mini-skirt! The lead character, Aya Brea, is also a member of a special police force that has a "cool" acronym-MIST. This sequel is just what Brad says it is-a Resident Evil clone that tries to keep its feet in both genres. I was a little surprised to see the turn Parasite Eve II takes in regard to the original, which was more of a traditional role-playing game.
