Worst Box Art You've Ever Seen

[-Drifter-]

So, yeah, what's the worst box art you've ever seen?

Just to get this out of the way fast, here's the infamous Megaman box art:

Surprisingly enough, Megaman's EU box art is actually quite adequate. Megaman's face is still a little weird, but overall it looks like a proper game cover, instead of a child's drawing.

The games are wonderful, the box art is not.

Box art has never been Valve's strong point, really. Half-Life's cover wasn't exactly a priceless masterpiece, it was just Gordon Freeman standing there with a blanc look on his face.

No, that can't be the official box art, can it?

Oh no....

I never could wrap my head around this thing:

I'M THE CREEPY-ASS JUGGERNAUT, *****!

What's your problem with it?
I mean I wouldn't call it stellar but there are far worse out there.

Spoiler: Such aaaaaaaaaas...

Spoiler: Especially so in comparison to its much easier-on-the-eye PAL sister:

I dunno, it just doesn't look right to me. There's just something strange about it, but I can't really point one major thing out.

Still, it looks great compared to that NTSC RE4. I actually sorta like the PAL version.

Well, you bring up an interesting point with Resident Evil 4, since Atlas doesn't look like he's wearing mascara. But at least Resident Evil 4 box art clearly shows what's happening in the game, for lack of looking artistic. Shoot shit and kill zombies. The two robots aren't related to the main story, are they?(Not trying to sound smug, I'm actually wondering)

I dunno, you've got the back of the box for that. The front really should purely make you want to buy the game.

I thought the robots were the main characters though?

Well, it could've been me, but I thought the main character was supposed to be Chell/you again, with the co-op being an add-on.

And, well, the front doesn't do that for either game, but it's probably more likely to catch attention if there's a guy shooting zombies than?well, robots. And Portal 2 is one of those box art cases that are just bad enough to be considered horrible, but not bad enough that they go full circle and become good/generate interest, like Phalanx.

I am honestly choking with laughter.

Thank you man, that was awesome.

In the interest of posting something no one has put here so far, Treasure of the Rudras. Not the worst, but bad.

where did you get that idea? have you plaed the first game?

I think "a" robot is an important charahcter...but thease are the co-op robots I dont know why they featured them...its kida disconcerting

I don't believe it either. I mean Portal 1 had a epic box art. A very simple one, but epic none the less.
