This is true for any language, not just Japanese. I know that there are some great dubs out there (the Metal Gear series, for example, or virtually every Disney animated film to date) but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
I think it depends on the setting of the game- If it's a Japanese high school with Japanese characters, then obviously having a Japanese voice is much better.

But if it's like Metal Gear with a western setting despite being a Japanese game, then not having the Japanese voice wouldn't affect it much.

Fair enough.
