The only title available for rental with the Dreamcast at Hollywood
Video is Sonic Adventure Limited Edition. SA:LE is for all intents and
purposes Sonic Adventure Japanese but with English text and voice
acting. None of the promised camera changes, glitches, or collision
fixes have been implemented into SA:LE, a fact that's sure to leave more
than a few American DC renters frustrated.
The translated text and voice in SA:LE is the typical videogame
variety - not too good, but not completely horrid. I suppose the text is
decent enough, but the actual voice acting is completely off and about
as well done as a low-grade Saturday morning cartoon. I for one had
hoped Sonic would receive better treatment, but alas it was not to be.
