I think Doubletalk is just fine -- not the very best out there, but for the
price, pretty darned good.
I always do wonder, though, why Doubletalk even bothers to include voice
options like Vader, Robo-Robert, and ricochet-randy (or whatever its
called). Does anyone really use these voices? These always strike me as
throw-away options, or for amusement only.
