I watched two reviews on this today and it looks like the game is lacking in content. No voice chat, only 5 multiplayer maps, only two match types, and the single player is about 4 hours long. I didn't have money to spend on this anyway, but the best decision seems to be to wait for the extra content to be released for it that Nintendo says will be free.
There's a valid reason for the lack of voice chat. The matches only last 3 minutes, and that's obviously not long enough to establish proper planning via voice chat, and that the directer opted to go without it due to past experiences with voice chat. You can't blame him, and this will be a kid friendly game, and the last thing their parents would want for them from this game are strangers cursing at them for screwing up in a friendly game. There is a a lack of content, but they will be added. If you had watched the Nintendo Direct earlier this month, they explained near the end that by August, there will be an option for you and your friends to play together, since that has been one of the things that worried people from the start.
I haven't been this hyped for a new game in a while. It looks really cute and fun.
I love the lack of voice chat. Everytime I'm playing a game with voice chat and I see someone with an icon I look for the mute button. And if Splatoon is really a MOBA, than all the better for a lack of voice chat. People who play MOBAs are assholes.
Getting rid of an issue because of a few bad people isn't how to solve it and it takes away from those who could benefit from it most. Just mute the problematic people and keep the ones who are fine or are your friends.
This still means letting the problematic people loose long enough to determine that they are problematic people, which is long enough to ruin the game's kid-friendly status.
However, I do think that voice chat should be an option in Friends-Only matches, once those are implemented.
That does overlook several things I've heard. First, that the hunt for collectables will add several more hours to the campaign (and the amiibo challenges add several more). Second, I haven't seen a single reviewer complain about the lack of maps. They note the lack of maps, yes, but they don't complain about them, saying that the gameplay itself is varied and diverse enough to keep the experience fresh even on the same maps continuously.

I'm not a huge fan of voice chat in games, myself. I've used it a few times myself, mainly with players I've known long enough to get along with (like with the LoTRO game which uses Voice chat for friends), but I think Splatoon will do just fine without it. Besides, if you really want to use voice chat while playing, just set up Skype. It can't be that difficult to do.
So, double posting since no one has posted again so far.
Has anyone got this game yet? I have and I've been having a blast. I got to play with Loco and nico (though not together) on occasions. I really like how the Splatoon community has become, filled with Squidward memes and such. Haha, it's insane.
I've gotten it, but my May semester class has prevented me from playing it yet. Just a few more days...
