I`ve noticed something about US covers on games. They always change the picture from the original cover when the origin of the game is from JP or EU. For example Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube. In JP the cover had a picture of a forest and the "Resident Evil 4" letters, but in US they had to put the main character on the cover. Same with Final Fantasy games. In JP its only the letters, but in US they had to have a picture of the main characters. Doesnt a game appeal to the US gaming crowd with just letters and the back of the cover? Is it more appealing with a big muscle jock on the cover?

I really doubt this.

The game is called "Biohazard" in Japan
