you mean how they look like something a child would find appealing?

To be fair, for Ghostbusters, they changed it to look like the actual game.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

don't they all look more like the actual game? Or is the cover art slightly better than actual.

I see you know a lot about marketing to kids... Only the Ghostbusters game could be argued to be appealing to children with more cartoony characters.

 

The difference is that the Wii versions are clear and bright, showing the sky and the field rather than a stylistic background. I won't hazard a guess as to what EA's reasoning was for this.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Yeah, they're more bright and colorful. Kids love that.

For all of those except for Tiger Woods, the game itself had a significantly different graphical style.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Isn't that what I was implying?

I could give you my opinoin but it would be considered trolling.
