So we've already had a thread about good box art so I figured we'd talk about some particularly awful or laughablebox art. There's plenty to choose from. Lets take a look...

Pick almost any game at random from this generation and you'll find terrible box art.

That Prince of Persia cover is laughable. Did they not think that the prince of a middle-eastern nation would look middle-eastern?

Yeah, I don't know about you, but I hated the North American box art for MGS4.

Yeah, I can't seem to get my head around this. Even in oldmovies such as tthe Thief of Baghdad, they managed to make most of the cast look middle eastern.

Most of those are not bad box covers...Just bad games Sonic, TNA, 50 cent and even the Pony and Baby game are not bad box art for the type of game they are.

Hehe dont you know all heroes are blond and caucasian, well at least in the 1980 s. ( Irony on the internet can be hard to detect, so yeah I am just kidding )

Btw I love the thread because I am a box art fan/collector. Ps . yes that includes the games :)

Well if its persia (what is Iran now), then there are a few blond, blue eyed people... although rare they are found.

You guys do realize that in the past a lot of middle-eastern rulers were light skinned because they didn't go out in the sun too often. I don't know why his hair is blonde but his skin color makes sense if he is a Prince. Also, the Persian Empire was made up of people from every race.

The American MGS4 boxart is horrible. Boring closeup of a CG Snake. None of that darn complex hand-drawn artwork for us americans, no sir, that's just too elaborate to look at. :cry:
