I like when they bring in voice actors like this to tie the media together.

I agree, that had a huge impact on me, with the Ghostbusters video game, and combined with the story that purposely integrated things from the first two movies, made it feel like a 3rd movie that completed a trilogy.

I also remember playing Return of The King and The Two Towers on PC and PS2 back in the day and those games also had the actors reprise their roles. I had a lot of fun with those games since they added some parts from the books that were not in the movies.
