This is a really cool feature. Unfortunately, this play sometimes right in the middle of a battle. In general it give a lot of insight into the development of the game. However sometimes it is way too short and sometime they speak to quick and unclear. Is there some way of repeating the comments?

The battle part  I can help you with due to the fact that in another thread someone told me how.  Click the ESC key which brings up the menu and pauses the game but the commentary will continue.

 

Can't help with the repeating the comentary but maybe some one else will.
