the voice actors who do those characters didn't give permission for their voices to be used in the game. The few actors chose not to contribute, as well as the fact that some of the characters such as Hank Scorpio and Fat Tony are voiced by guest actors like Mel Brooks, etc and would have to be paid for their time and voice.

Too bad all characters can't be voiced. Not hearing Milhouse disappoints me very much :(

i would love to see a list of all the non-voiced characters and why. fat tony and sideshow are more obvious than some others, but it would be nice to have a complete list...

Non voiced characters, or whoever does their voices must be of hitler relation.

Hank Scorpio is voiced by Albert BrooksFat Tony is Joe Mantegna

All they did for the characters with voices was take audio clips from the show. So it's not like they would have to pay the actors to go back in and record everything. And although I don't know ANY of the details on their contracts, wouldn't you think it's FOX that owns the at least the "likeness" if not the rights to the recordings? I'm sure they could find SOMEONE who sounds like Milhouse that can say a few lines.

Although, as I learned in college while taking a contracts course: Not much else matters except what's in the contract.

They still require their permission to use their voices in all promotional and commercial things.

This is what I was thinking too. I would guess FOX owns the rights to the already recorded voice tracks from whatever episodes the celebrities have appeared in. So, they should be able to use these for TSTO. But there's probably some legal issues FOX doesn't want to potentially deal with and decided against using the voice tracks.
