I think it looks better than Europe version, well what do you think?

Personally I'm hyped for this game, everybody says this is not a game, just interactive movie. A thing they says to MGS 4, they said it was more a movie than a game, but I enjoyed it very much, so I think I'm gonna like Heavy Rain.

Many cows forget this game because everybody hyped for God of War III, but I still believe Heavy Rain will score 9.0 here

Agreed. I like that they are pushing the character-driven experience for this version, but there is something so eerie and elegant about the Europe version

Hmmm don't like the people in it. Was the Euro one the boxart with the newspaper background? That was beast.

Eh, it's not bad. But the characters didn't really need to be there. The lone origami was simple and effective.

Definitely one of my favorite box arts of the generation. Looks great. :) The "newspaper background" from before was really distracting.

I won't only smell the box for the new box smell , I will also lick the cover ! It's alright , but I think they should have put the father front and center. They still could have showedyou know whaton the side or backgroud.

more like game focuses on story, and therefore it naturally focuses on characters as well. in such case, just having one simple object that symbolizes the most significant event in the story is just cooler

I would much rather have simple sybolic covers. If I may I will use the GI examples of different cover art.

Minus the RE4 Euro box art with its red color, I hardly see how any of those express symbolism. :?

People, trust me: If we got the Euro box art over here, people would probably just complain about that all the same. Gamers are some of the internet's most fantastic whiners.

MGS4 is not an interactive movie...it just have a long cutscene.

What's with people getting all artsy in here? The point of a boxart is to sell the game to people who've never heard of the game. Chances are if you already were going to buy the game, you wouldn't just reconsider because the boxart is completely Fugly. I'll go ahead and make the best game ever and sell it in a blank white box, and see how many people notice it.

This boxart isn't the most clever or artistic, but it makes the game look more interesting than an origami simulation in the rain.

If she was in the background with the rest it'd look better imo. The origami swan would be better as the focus.

I think you're nuts. Floating heads staring into the great beyond doesn't make anything better. I like the obviousness of the decision making process behind the female character popping out though.


That's better. Also features the developer logo on the front for great justice.
