"And this beatifull boxart was unaware what doom and flop were wating it the moment it went out"

It's also ALL RED!

Indeed it is an awesome cover.

I'm just a couple of hours into the game and I'm loving it so far.

Reminds me of the Trilogy boxart. My friend told me that the red part is actually a slip cover covering the real case (the only part of which you can see is her face).

That's cool.  Prefer the NA one.   Also a couple hours in an loving it so far.   And I'm not even a Metroid fan.

so pretty...

Wow... damn it why can't the NA one be so pretty?

I actually don't like it at all, too bland

It actually looks as a great book cover, right?

I don't know what's the criteria for game covers and localization, but sometimes one gets to feel it could have been better done.

By instance, look at this:

How in the world does that cover have anything to do with Uncharted 2 aesthetics, how twisted are japanese people supposed to be that this is the means to sell them this game, I just don't know.
