how does the USA & jap version look like?

 

[123rl]

Very good...apart from the Powerpoint-quality logo and the white light behind it :lol

 

[gogogow]

Not ugly or bad, but something isn't right.
It was better if they used an drawn artwork as boxart, something like Ico's boxart (PAL).

It's alright, it probably looks better in person than on the computer, kinda like the NA box.

 

[Wario64]

why the hell did they put small changes to it? it seems more brigither and the logo more simplified.

I agree, it just like a screenshot from the game. It's nowt awer!

 

[Jerkface]

Very safe and boring isn't it?

I think the game needs box-art that reflects just how different and special it is.

It's OK. I'm more interested in how the package looks, if there's just gonna be one version and so on. If not, will the LE package look different....?

 

[mrklaw]

not bad. But lets face it, they have plenty of time if they want to make any changes :/

A little "meh" compared to the ICO boxart

What they should have done is remove that logo, and have that pictured beautifully handpainted (oil colors please) and leave it at that.

Ico had just that (in Japan and Europe that is) but I don't know if it helped much. The sales were simillar as for the US version, even a bit less I think.

On principle I agree with you though. I'd like to see something like LE version of Ico packaging.

If that doesn't happen, at least for once, the US gets slightly better box art.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

I like.

The actual game i mean. Boxart = meh.

When is the game due out in PAL? Should I play ICO first?

You really don't need to have beaten ICO to thoroughly enjoy SoTC, the game stands on it's own. There are some elements in the game however that ties to ICO, and some in the story, so you'd be losing out on those moments ...

It's out on my birthday, february 23rd

I'll do the good deed...

US:

Japan:

Sorry about the small size for the Japanese one, but this is my first time posting box art, so I didn't know where to look

 

[CarlosX360]

I think the boxarts are trying to be different between all the countries...As a matter of fact, all the boxarts look like they were taken from a different screen....
