Lux Pain for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

This could've been a decent game if not for the ATROCIOUS localization. There are two major problems with it.

1) You're forced to listen to the english dub. Be prepared to cringe often because nearly every line in the game is voiced.

2) The spoken dialogue doesn't match the text on-screen. EVER. I've never seen anything like this in a videogame--maybe on a DVD, but never a videogame.

I don't know who to blame--Ignition or Nintendo--but let me just say most people who are interested in these sorts of quirky Japanese titles do NOT appreciate being forced to listen to an english dub, especially when it doesn't even match the on-screen text.

That being said, feel free to rent the game if you think you can overlook the localization issue. As someone who (somewhat) understands and appreciates the Japanese language, and HATES dubs no matter what the language, I personally could not.

The game has many typos, the voice acting is low, and sometime the text can move very slow. At some point in the game it would confuse me a little when they called a female character a "he" or "him". Other than that the story was great and intense I do recommend this to anime fans who want a short interesting simple and easy game. The artwork is fantastic! The Music was great and intense! And despite the negatives it was worth playing and kept me entertained.
