1up is is full of themselves.
This is the best boxart of all the Prime games. it tells so much without overwhelming you. Samus back-to-back with Corrupted Samus and Dark Samus looming in the background. Too much Samus? Possibly, but what Metroid doesn't have Samus on the box cover?
If they wanted a box to bitch about they should have went after Fusion. Seriously, the NA box art is just Samus crouching in front of a bland background with enemy art pasted behind her and shadowed. The JP box was so much better.
For reference:
