Good news for fans of the Japanese hit action adventure game, ``God of War'' _ a sequel is on the way. But what's more exciting is that the new Japanese game will feature characters dubbed with Korean voice actors.
What will it be like to experience the main character Kratos, who is always suffering with anger and agony, speaking in Korean?
``It was not an easy task to understand Kratos before,'' Choi Suk-pil, who play Kratos in the sequel, said. ``He is like a man of anger who kept me shouting.''
Choi, or rather his voice, has starred in many animations and films. Though he has lost his voice only once in his career of over 10 years, his recent role as Kratos has tested his vocal chords to the limit, he said.
The original game won many awards, including ``Game of the Year'' honors in 2005 from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences _ the award is given for games that exhibit superb gameplay, advanced graphics and well composed musical score. Its highly anticipated sequel was released in early March in many countries, but it has been delayed from reaching Korean fans until now.
