Fuck, PAL got a much better boxart for Okami Wii...

Metroid Prime 3 is my number 26

Actually that was only a special edition sleeve that was available from HMV here in the U.K.  The standard box art was the same as the US, just minus the IGN watermark.  I bought it from HMV just to get that beautiful sleeve.

Usually American localisation of games involved changing the box art, usually for the worse (Ico, Phalanx, most Kirby games, a lot of Final Fantasies).  PAL regions are usually inbetween getting a mixture of Japanese and US box arts.  The link below shows lots of differences in box art:

This is true for almost any JRPG. Lost Odyssey I thought had a much cooler box art for EU, and it's a shame. US boxarts for JRPG's are usually so basic and bland.
