Worst Box Art! (56k...Seriously? Still?)

Ok, let's have some fun here!

I've seen many "best box art" threads before, so I figured it's about time we had a "worst box art" thread.

Box art can make or break a game for many. Most Wii gamers aren't in the loop like we are, so they might have to base their purchases on what they see on the cover.

So, with that said, let's see your "favorite" worst box art! Forget about the quality of the actual game, we're talking art here.

For bouns points, tell us why you hate it.

Here's one of my favorites:

Why I hate it:

Capcom looked at what all "M" rated game covers have in common: Black, White, and Red. But they forgot the part where it's supposed to look like something.

Are those zombies in the corner? Where are my binoculars?

"Resident Evil" is written twice on the cover...In case I missed it the first time?

And what's with that giant square of red? If I want Jello, I'll head to Safeway. Thanks.

Ok, now post yours!

As much as I love this game, the NA boxart is very underwhelming:(.......................

I have no words. All I can say is "WTF"Haziqonfire

The guy who did the Redneck game box-art is one of my favorite artists! He did Ren&Stimpy. That being said, that box art is ground-breakingly bad.

I like the REA box art.

And that red head chick is HOT!

It's a japanese box art but it's still a WTH moment.

Just by looking at the boxart you can tell it is shovelware

Wait what? Spy missions in the elevator? Or an elevator doing spy missions?

That is very weird. Whats that pink thing in the back?

Great game, horrible box art. The Japanese and European ones are much better.

What did they do to their heads?!? And the sausage...aaaw come on! This is the best worst one. They look like half photo/half drawing.

How do you say "fail" in French?

god, Ubi is a sad, sad dev/publisher sometimes. I actually wanted to vomit after seeing that.

How about this one?

Reminds me of a Goosebumps book somewhat

Shame on Nintendo, they forgot the karts! but left their shadows! :P

...that's the point. Why do you think so many people bought it?

Their "bundled" packages have been very plain since the Wii's debut. Let's take a look;

Every single Box Art for the "Wii" series have been awful imo. Very, very boring, at least to me. I don't understand how they sell so well, when they draw no attention. I think Nintendo knows that "word of mouth" has been very helpful this time around, and they don't have to spend as much on advertising.

I guarantee Wii Sports Resort will be the same "Plain Jane" design as well. It seems to be working for their pocket books.

(The censored word is a word that refers to something that is upscale or in good taste, I hate GS sometimes!)

IGN Watermark Aside I wish Capcom would've used the PS2 boxart.

Why? IGN's logo.

Although I still think nothing beats the IGN watermark.
