As Giana’s Return will feature a storyline, should we add a SPOKEN storyline? This feature would of course blow up the game a lot, but is nothing which would be impossible. As the title says, it’s just an odd thought – depending on the amount of people who like this idea, we might set the according direction.

I think a vocal narrated storyline would make the game kinda lame in the sense that it would feel more like a fan game. Vocals never really work well in 2D games anyway. Look at how Nintendo butchered their Mario/Zelda ports to the Gameboy Advance with vocals. :P

Err I just mean, it would be more fitting and official sounding if the storyline was just written text that we can read to ourselves. ;)

A spoken storyline would not improve the game at all in my opinion.

The above comment was submitted with FireFox, which oddly gave me problems with an other comment a few minutes ago (see my email, Kojote).
Seems to work now :-)

That can only work if you find a professional voice actor for the voice recording. Preferably in his/her 60s or older.
