This is probably the last big (kind of) exclusive we will see on the Wii so I guess they figured they would go out with a real eyepopper for cover art.I actually like it. Probably good from a marketing stand point too ... your eyes will go straight to it when you see it on a wall with a bunch of other Wii games.

I think if I ever was involved in a retail game market/distribution I would insist that the game has a bright yellow with maybe a little bit of black for the cover art ... and the game would have to start with a letter between C and N so that it sits up there next to the maddens and call of duties catching everyone's eye. I wonder if marketing types in the game industry think about this stuff when they make cover art / come up with game titles.

That is darn clever.

I have my moments : )

I have crazier ideas too ... blinking/light up covers, and, best yet, a game case that yells at you and demands that you buy it! It could use one of those motion sensor things that some greeting cards have which would then play a sound. I imagine that would get annoying though.

I suppose one day when we are all chipped we will have those cool personalized advertisements like in Minority Report.
