Actually playing the game, however, ends up being an exercise in repetition. So much so, in fact, that we were able to accurately call out when things — like checkpoints and brief cut scenes that introduce larger battles — were going to appear with incredible accuracy.

If you’ve ever tried to carry on a conversation via your PC, Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network while gaming, you know the results can be, shall we say, uneven. And this isn’t a problem that’s limited to the cheap headsets included in console purchases. Even an otherwise good set can skimp on mic quality, or in some cases, not even include one.
