    The North American box art always looks like a snowboarding game at first glance. Maybe the Limited Edition is my personal fave just because it keeps things mysterious.

    @lazesummerstone: Man, now I'll never be able to unsee Drake snowboarding. Which isn't a bad thing, really.

    I prefer the NA one, this is Drake's story not the others. It's straight to the point, harrowing, risky, dangerous...which is exactly what the 2 game is trying to highlight.

    The JP doesn't feel like a Uncharted 2 cover, it might have been more appropriate for the first game but not this one.

    I like the AU one fine, but it falls under the same first game cover category as the JP one.

    The Japanese box art reminds me of the cover of Indiana Jones movies that just so happened to make out with Valkyria Chronicles.

    US boxart is the only one that catches your attention. And thats the whole point when its grouped up with a bunch of other games on a shelf. That JP art is terrible. EU is boring.

    For the next Uncharted box art, they need to do something that resembles and Indiana Jones Movie poster.

    The limited edition is the best. The Japanese box isn't my style, and the US standard edition is pretty boring.

    I like the middle one. Although i like the artwork of the one on the left and it doesn't have the stupid banner on the top. The right one looks not that bad but not that good.

    I quite like the JP cover. It's reminiscent of the old action movie posters from the 60's and 70's.

    It's the same cover on the regular edition for EU and NA. The one on the left is the Limited Collector's edition which looks the same in the US version as well (if product images shown on G4tv are an indication). Have no clue about the logos though.

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: Har har. You speak as if even the Final Fantasy covers are superior, when it's clear that the simple and efficient EU/JP covers are much nicer. I do prefer this game's cover over the JP one, but games like Ico really failed at cover design in the US. Very odd fetish with having the character(s) on the covers. Not rarely are the EU covers more tasteful.

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: I think the Japanese boxart is a little cleaner looking, more refined, a little classier maybe.

    Then again maybe I'm in the minority? Developers seem to know that the US wants all box art to be DANGEROUS THING AT DRAMATIC ANGLE ACTION TIME!
