Worst Use of Celebrity Voice Acting

Games are big-budget affairs these days, and they attract some high-priced talent. Unfortunately, fame doesn't automatically equate to quality, and the following five finalists are proof positive of this. These are the games that make the worst use of celebrity voice acting:

Even the most hackneyed and amateurish voice actors currently working today could have done something significantly more impressive with Charlie's Angels than the insanely halfhearted effort put forth by Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore.

Developer: Team Ninja

Developer: Warthog
