The voice cast includes Nolan North and John DiMaggio, with a rocking soundtrack featuring bands such as METZ, Vanity Set, Com Truise, Vektroid and Red Fang. Given the game’sSouth Park-esque approach to comedy and dialogue, a censored option will be included to protect the ears of the sensitive, such as myself.
