It makes sense. Uncharted is supposed to invoke the charms of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Back then, that particular film and many others had these same kinds of posters drawn up.

So I'm crazy for thinking it is one of worst covers I have seen?

Japanese cover + American Text (the Uncharted 2 name/brand/logo whatever) = YES PLIX

Am I the only one that despite the Japanese writings immediately thought "Bollywood"?

I think this will look good to the Japanese people, since the boxart for the last game looked very western this may have put people off, but this should change that!
