Easiest way to alter required validation message site wide

Question

I would like to replace validation message for all model properties that have [Required] attribute from the default "The XY field is required." to "*". I want to do that site wide in one place without having to add a custom message to Required attributes or passing additional parameter to ValidationMessageFor() Html helper.

Any ideas?
