Are any of these games subtitled with an english option or do any of them retain their US voice overs?


Resident Evil series [box set]
Eternal Darkness
Metroid Prime



Thanks,
Ray

I have no idea as I do not town any of those games in their import version but I can tell you this. There are no voice samples whatsoever in Metroid Prime, and while there is a LOT of text to read, it is not mandatory. You could go through most of the game without having to read anything. And some clues you get along the way by reading text are common sense anyway. With a translation faq somewhere you should be able to beat the game without many language difficulties.

I'm tempted to get the japanese Twin Snakes myself actually. For the better art box and the extra disc, but if it doesn't have an english option, I'm fucked. :( haha.

problem is
It's a very immersive game and the plot is very nice
playing it with jap options will ruin the experience IMO
and who's speaking is the one always buy japanese
but adventures and RPG need to be understood 100%

btw
I just got the news MGS:TS wont have any jap voices
cause they re-made all the dialogues only in english
at least this:D

OoC: Seeing as Eternal Darkness is a Canadian title, why bother importing it? Did they "improve" something between the American and Japanese releases?

Really, it's based on Lovecraft's work. Why would you want that in a language other than English? English is never more fun than Lovecraft.

Again, Silicon Knights. In fact, all threee games were made by American (continent) based studios. Seems silly to get the Japanese versions of Retro and Silicon Knights games...
