Jak & Daxter Box art: USA vs Japan vs Europe!
« on: November 11, 2001, 12:32:06 AM »
After seeing all three versions of the Jak and Daxter box art, I thought it would be interesting to see which one the majority of people think is the best.  Here are the choices:

Europe:  (Sorry about the huge size)


USA: (Taken from Amazon.com.  May not be the official USA artwork)


Japan:



So which one do you think is the best?  The vibrant Pal version?  The similar, but slightly different USA version?  Or the slightly Anime styled Japanese version?

Vote above, and post why you voted that way below.  And tell us why you don\'t like the other choices as much.

(Oh, and before you ask, yes, I am bored.  My thumbs hurt too bad to play CvsSNK2 right now, so all I can do is surf the web. :))

The Japanese version simply because its focus is off the main characters and placed in part are the massive world they live in.  The characters in the game look interesting and animate incredibly smooth, but their large vibrant world interests me moreso and that\'s what has me impressed about it.

off-topic:  Yah, my thumbs hurt too ironfist, but the bad thing about CvsS2 is the box-art.  Man is it hideous.  I want the Japanese version with Chun-Li on the front.  Mmmm... that is nice.

Just so you guys know, I voted for the PAL version.  (for once, my opinion is different than Ryu\'s. :))  The Japanese version is good, and like Ryu said, it shows a lot of what the game will be like.  But the reason I like the PAL version more is because of the overall style of it.  The main focus is on 1.  The two main characters, which is actually a big part in the game (especially Daxter).  They look like they are ready to go kick some butt. :)  And 2.  that big red orb, which also plays a big role in this game.  

The lighting behind the orb has the same effect that the lighting in ICO had.  It makes me think of a big, warm world and a huge adventure.  The Japanese art just doesn\'t give off that same feeling (at least, not to me).  And then through the light it shows a small area of the world.  I don\'t know why I like that, but I do. :)

About CvsSNK2 box art.  I actually like the US version a lot more than the Japanese box art.  I think Chun Li is an overrated Street Fighter character.  The last thing I want is to see her butt every time I reach for the game.  So now there are two things Ryu and I disagree about. :)

I voted USA because I like the glowing orb on that one better than I like the Euro one.

the jap. is the best one because of the atmosphere. You can see a part of the world of jak&daxter and the gameplay.

I think the USA and Europe ones are exaclty the same, just different quality pics. The Japanese one has exaggerated the features of Jak to make him look more manga

not quite, look at the glow around the orbs. And look at the background.

I like the Japanese one also, but it seems like there\'s too much on the cover.  So...I\'d prefer the US version...(my opinion)
