Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s look at the box designs themselves.
North America
This is nasty, huh? Perhaps the most recognizable of the three designs, it depicts one of the game’s protagonists, blond Ray Poward, firing at a formidable foe. It’s a cool design, and from Ray’s stance you really get a feel for the size of the gun; almost as if bending under the sheer weight of things.
Europe
Europe is a slightly more carefree affair. The group of robots featured on the cover here look like they came straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon; they definitely lack the attitude shown in the North American design, but regardless it’s a fun, colorful little composition.
Japan
The Japanese version leans more toward an anime aesthetic, featuring various characters from the game against a Blade Runner-inspired backdrop. It’s a cool, dynamic composition that makes good use of the space with some pretty badass poses from our protagonists, but it still lacks some of that signature attitude from the North American version.
Thanks for voting! See you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
