I still do the voices and sound effects etc. when I play. I think it's difficult to really accurately review a toy if you don't play with it. That's like trying to review a car without driving it, or review a book without actually reading it etc.
But don't I see stuff on more of a collector's point of view, rather than as a vroom vroom play toy? (no offence by that)
I too like a bit of play value, but I also like posability,(since let's face it; they going to be on my shelf, static, for a long time) and visual qualities.
It's interesting to see what a very young child thinks of most of today's transformers.
I got lots of excitement out of just playing with (non-transformable) metal trucks and pretending they were Constructicons when I was around 5 years old, so it would be interesting to see how that compares to today, with all the better engineering (well, most of the time, anyway) and accuracy put into greater effect.
