I've been annoyed by not being able to hear the voices in the cutscenes properly since the game came out and now i figured out what's wrong.
You'll notice some cutscenes are from the game engine (textures look lower res, jaggies present) while other cutscenes are prerendered video files from gameplay (You can tell cause there's compression artifacts during these ones)
The prerendered scenes have really low audio volume, when i took a closer look (or listen) i noticed during the prerendered cutscenes the audio was only coming through my front speakers, i put one of my rear speakers right up to my ear and it was completely silent. That explains why it's so hard to hear the speech audio during these scenes.
Now when theres a in game cutscene or just normal gameplay, the sound is clearly coming from all 5 channels, and is much clearer.
To make my point more valid, i also have a ps3 and downloaded the ps3 stranglehold demo, in that demo, even during the prerendered cutscenes the voices were coming out of all 5 channels.
This makes me angry since i invested 70$ into the collector's edition on 360 and now i have a gimped version of the game.
Considering i just got ripped off once by midway i really don't feel like giving them more money for the ps3 version either.
It's just a no win situation. Thanks a lot midway.

Sounds pretty disappointing. This was one next generation game I wanted to get whenever I finally buy a new console.

I'd rather give birth to a chair than see an MK vs. DC crossover game.

Yeah I noticed this as well. I don't know how game reviews missed this. I returned a bug ridden PC version for this one. This is the worst possible way to support a game in any format. NO response or patches. I am staying away from Midway from now on.
