English voice dubbing is perfect! be proud!

No comparison to other languages...

I think I'd prefer the Japanese now. Makes the story seem less... cheesy? I mean did you know the President of the USA gave Naked Snake (WTF) the name "Big Boss" after his victory over The Boss? I don't think even GW Bush would do something that cheesy.

Does anyone else feel like the whole saga is sort of suffering from the Lost In Translation syndrome? Or is it just me?

original japanese voice or nothing for me.

I'll wait to see if european release has japanese voice and if not I will import japanese game

Nothing lost in translation at all, since the names are the same in the Japanese version as well.

it's always like that. another obvious example: Final Fantasy X, XII, Kingdom Hearts series (except Disney character - which still better in English)

the only japanese voice that sounds better is raiden. his is 200% better in japanese.

regarding snake....ummmm....david hayter has the best voice in the world, yeah, better than timberlake, so i don't get where you guys can possibly say the japanese snake sounds better.
