Bad box art (possible 56k warning)

Pretty much, what an aweful game.

At least people know what they are getting when looking at the boxart. "This looks like a generic boxart from the 90's; the game is also a generic game from the 90's."

This.

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

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.Zero5000X

That still doesn't explain the fact he why looks like Luke Skywalker. :P

:lol: I just done a quick search on the gamespot search engine to see what "touch dic" scored.

It wasnt reviewed but there were two results. The first was touch dic and right under it was Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball. I really dont know why that is though. :lol:

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

If you ever needed any proof that the seal of quality meant sod all, then this is it. NINTENDO ENDORSES SCAT!!!

I think I win.

I've always been partial to this one. Not only is the look on the hillbilly's face priceless, but why is a banjo playing hillbilly the focus of the cover art for a "Hyper-speed shooutout in space?"

What?

Shh, thanks for pointing out my mistake. I've been to Southport today and it's been really hot, very tired. :P

I've been waiting for another of these threads! I just wish I could've found a better pic of it:

If at first nothing looks terribly wrong with this box art, just give it time.

this one looks soooo stupid

How did nobody at the company who made it notice? "Do you not think it looks like..." "Like what?" "Well the cake mix on her face looks a bit like...you know..." "Urm, no I don't." "Man milk" "There's milk in the cake mix, the kid probably put it in there, what's your point?" "Nevermind..."

HA! I'm pretty sure they noticed. In fact, someone was probably either trying to win a bet or get fired.

Every SCEE game that includes that stupid PSN circle, that looks like a sticker but is actaully printed on the cover, e.g. LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Killzone 2, Singstar etc..

[QUOTE="-CUBE-"] Wait..they thought that at 2010, we'll wear battle suits that shoots sonic waves, and fight robotic armies, while trying to not to be eaten by a mutated giant enemy bird thing that looks like a dragon, all that while at the same time, trying to avoid falling in the lava that have obviously covered the whole world by then? wow, they sure have a great imagination..:roll:

You forgot the robotic armies and giant mutant birds but yeah, its possible..

The overwhelming majority of covers are so lame, that its kind of sad. They mostly consist of a guy standing around trying to look cool with the game title just floating there.

Actually, I just bought a suit that NASA would be proud of. Reflecting sunrays is all the more important when the ozone is in it's current state.

Mark my words, in 2010 we will be experiencing everything you see in that boxart. I bet you a Nintendo Seal of Quality it happens.

Eternal Champions but I don't have time to post it. Will in a few if someone doesn't do it for me.

I always thought the logo depicted Paine riding a horse. It turns out the horse was Yuna.

Just looking at this cover makes you wonder if Square actually made a sequel to FFX, or just slapped on some pictures of girls and called it a sequel.

They didn't even bother putting a background picture. Just gotta let the buyer know that they're buying FF3 and nothing else. I don't even think the logo represents anything from FF3.

There's WAY too much shovelware box art in this thread. C'mon, we KNOW shovelware has bad box art, how about some stuff from HIGH PROFILE games, like this one:

The blandness of this cover is almost scientific in its approach. And no I'm not picking on the 360, and to prove that, here's some cover art that I think is really good:
