Title: The Hidden Theft Ships to Retail
Post by: SkyWarp on September 26, 2008, 07:05:36 PM
The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft, shipped to retail stores today.  This puts the game on schedule to be in stores across the United States sometime within the next week or two.

Meanwhile, we have a short "behind the scenes" video with the two voice actors for the Hardy Boys, Jesse McCartney and Cody Linley.

So Cody Linley wouldn't mind playing Joe Hardy. Hmm.

I never thought I would say this, but after see his behaviour in that video (jokingly acting as Joe) I really think he might be able to work as a UBs Joe.

I keeps stoping for me. I can just get to the "What I really like about my character" part and then it cuts off and starts over again.

Okay you've heard the voices of the Hardy Boys, now how about their Mom? The link below is a collection of sound clips of Leighally Baker, who will voice Laura in The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft.

I thought some of you might be interested.

BTW, SkyWarp, do you know if it's shiping to stores in Canada?

I was actually able to access bouth of them! :D The voices look, ..er sound, great for them all. It appears that the HBs's look in the game is based off the actors.

Laura Hardy sounds, um, really commercial-ish? I can't describe it.

I feel like I've heard her voice on a TV show or something. But since she's done a lot of voice-overs, it's probably that recognizable.

I hope it sounds a little more natural in the game, though.

she sort of sounds like Nancy Drew from the Nancy Drew games.

Also, you have to remember that those were commercials so that's probably why it sounds "commercialish".

So no word about the game in Canadian stores, CJ?

Yes, I've seen that, what I am wondering is, will the game be in Canadian stores?

It would totaly beat The Hardy Men.

Totally. I would like a Hardy Boys movie with younger people.

Not the McCartney dude! I don't think he could fit as Frank at all. At least Linley has some kind of a chance (I didn't think he did at first, but projecting personality/characteristics does a lot).

But I would have to see the auditions...

I could dress up as Barney the douche bag dinosaur and dance around on a trampoline for two hours, and that would still be better then the Hardy Men.
