Not necessarily praising the quality but more the sheer number of voice actors required; keep in mind they had to hire voice actors for loads of languages. Just think how much it would have cost to hire top quality voice actors for every single one. Without the budget they were given i imagine we'd only have had one or two spoken languages with everyone else having to put up with text. The way it is a huge proportion of languages are covered so most get to play without subtitles thus further extending its potential audience.

Also, i'd say the voice acting is far from poor, i'd say at least three of the main characters are actually pretty good. Certainly better than the dudes that do the voices for Snake and Otacon in MGS (forget their names). I can think of only two points where poor voice acting has ruined the immersion for me and they were both very minor characters.
