One minor flaw with GK2 is the English voices/accents of the German characters. Almost all characters speak English with perfect grammar, excellent range and appropriacy of vocabulary and expression...yet most speak with a cliched German accent like something out of a bad WWII movie. As a teacher of English to adults, I can vouch that (virtually) no German speaks like this. They might say "I wisited (instead of visited) my mother at the weekend" , but certainly not "Vat shall I do viz zat?". Maybe the worst perpetrator is Michael who (apart from being wonderfully camp as mentioned ) has a dreadful fake German accent. Shame Jane Jensen didn't get that bit sorted out better.
