AtomDeath Note and Evangelion voice actors voice Kane & Lynch
Despite the Kane & Lynch controversy in North America notable FPS publisher in Japan, Spike, picked up the title and it isn’t getting a slipshod localization. Many Western games contain English voice acting with appropriate subtitles in Japan, but not Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Spike pulled Naoya Uchida who recently did the voice for Soichiro Yagami in Death Note for Kane and Mugihito who voiced Keel in the Evangelion movie “You are Not Alone”.
This news will probably give Kane & Lynch a little extra buzz for the niche, but growing FPS audience in Japan. While the audience is small, Spike isn't giving up pushing the genre. A few months ago they released Bioshock in Japan.

i am inclined to believe that this game will put off quite a few “beautiful babies who are ready to party.” fortunately, it’s not actually an FPS, so it won’t sour anyone on that genre.
btw, i have switched the voice language in Lost Odyssey so many times already. i love listening to it in all those languages. i alternate at times. it really adds to the charm. LO provided me with my first opportunity to listen to italian in a game. i will be forever grateful.

Lol, done the same here. I used up all my 20 saves at various major cutscenes, eg, the Numara soldiers trampling on tenderflora scene, simply priceless. The US version was much better since the Jpn import only had Jpn and Eng. audio to juggle between.
Italian sounds the most foreign to me compared to French and German, while German text was harder to decipher to my surprise, I couldn’t make heads from tails, it was like a completely different game.
My first play through was entirely in Jpn, and I’m on disc 3 on my 2nd play thru in Eng, the other languages are just for fun :) It’s quite amazing how different they sound in all those languages.

I have the Jpn version of Gears of War and it’s pretty cool to listen to it in either the org. Eng. or Jpn depending on the system’s language setting. I wonder if they’re doing a Jpn dub for GTA IV comes this fall.
