You know... a damaged cardboard box with blood on it actually sounds like a badass cover for this game...

I agree.

I dunno man, I actually dig the U.S. version of the boxart.

They said they didnt want to scare the lil kids walking by it lol.
Idk it looks ok to my just kinda plain, which i think most wii u covers are.

Me too. I think it's more artistic and creative than the majority of other boxart styles. Most of them look generic and predictable. I think some boxart-artists just think within a commercial box and never try new things. That bugs me, as an artist.

Oddly enough, one of the things that bugged me most about the cover.. it seems rather generic and predictable..

That's pretty much what I thought of the US cover. I like the European cover a lot more, that one seems more creative

Agreed.. the European cover had an interesting concept that related to the game itself (even if execution is still a bit off).

[That64Kid]

I like both box arts .-.

[Mushlikeahusky]

I like the EU cover more it would be cool if the blood was like the 3d pop out of the box texture. The U.S. is kind of plain.

Euro box-art breakdown:

(1) Photoshopped "zombie" layer over the "eyeball" layer... Didn't do a good job.
His fuzz hat overlaps the edge at the top of the iris. What the?

(2) The image of the zombie should be bowed along with the con vexed eyeball... It's flat. Oops.

(3) Um... I can see the studio lights in the eyeball too. Very bad.

The idea is more creative than the US box, but poorly executed.

Maybe this is just another placeholder image?

Huh... ...I didn't notice any of that stuff...I still like the EU box art better though

[PixelKnot]

Don't care about the box art. (Though, American >> European)

The game itself is the only thing that matters.

[JakeyFlower]

true that, that is actually ugly

[That64Kid]

I still think both box arts are cool .-.

Uh... You don't notice the GIANT white square shaped glare to the left of the soldier's hat?
That's not just some piece of paper blowing in the wind... it's a soft box flash.

Also, since the surface of an eyeball is convex, any imagery or reflection should bow along with the arch of the eye surface... The image of the soldier isn't doing that.

Kinda hard to not see these.

Like i said. Good idea, bad execution.

I take it back all of it is good art. :-)

Uh...Ummm...I just thought that was some weird glare and I guess I just didn't really pay attention to the box art...and stuff

[ZombiCarolyn]

I'm curious as to whether anyone would actually not buy the game simply because they don't like the boxart. I for one would still get a game regardless, if it looked like a good game in terms of actual... gaming.
