Gross.

5/10

Will surely scare away any uninformed gamers.

This is why most box art for games is bland and uninspiring. Companies somehow feel that predictable, boring artwork is the best way to communicate with the impulse shopper.

Maybe (Bioshock etc), but I feel like with this there is definitely room to convey the chaos, vibrancy of it in a more appealing fashion. Its nothing to do with the style of the game/thus this image and everything to do with design but maybe I'm just too picky. That corporate blue paint is really off putting, should have replaced it with turquise or something.

No even Nintendo gamers. Nintendo art has a lot more polish and form to it, if I just saw this game for the firs time I wouldn't associate it with Nintendo at all. I would presume it was a lessor western 3rd party team like Marveous or  THQ

It's certainly eye catching, but it makes it look far too much like a "kiddy" game. Teens/adult who don't already know about the game aren't likely to buy it by looking at that :/


Do people actually buy games based on Box Arts? o_O

Does it look any more or less kiddie than the Treasure Tracker box art? At least it indicates what the game is about, and the characters' expressions say way more than anything related to Mario.

9/10, would buy, and in fact I am.

The box art should feature the stereotypical "chin down, eyes up" stance from a male character holding a real gun. That wouldn't represent the game, but sales!!!

It's funny you say that, because i was actually thinking that they'd have been best parodying those types cover :p Having one of the squid people doing that gruff/serious military pose in the middle, but with the comical paint warfare going on in the background.

dont like it too much


Me neither. In fact, looks like, a cheap game. It does not make me feel it will be a good game while watching, and we know that the campaign looks awesome.
