I like it, but they should be emphasizing that it's a shooter. Any popular shooter series (Halo, Gears, Call of Duty) does this. At least the other box art sort of fits that description.

 

Halo 2 LE didn't Bioshock LE didn't.

People who preorder Special editions already know what they are getting.

It's a new series, and there aren't as many Wii shooters out there as PS3 or 360 shooters. I'm just saying that High Voltage/Sega should try as hard as possible to make sure people know it's a shooter.

 

Yes but people who are pre-ordering games know what they are getting.... are you suggesting there are people who will go into a store and ask to pre-order a limited edition of a game they don't even know the genre of?

 

Could be someone walked into the store, saw the offer for a preorder, and was fooled by the boxart. And yes, I do misunderestimate (that was intentional) the average consumer.

That said, I've always wondered why most of the limited edition boxarts are so much worse than the standard ones. Final Fantasy 12 definitely got it right.
