Africa's layout on the back with (what appears to be) Kijuju written is pretty cool! I also like the 5 in RE.

As "generic" as it is to add the action hero pose on the cover, I think the US box is better for having it over the European one.

i don't really like it that much, it's meh, it doesnt scream EPIC or scary like RE3 or RE4's PAL covers do, they could do a lot better, i saw better fan art.


i wonder what the PAL cover will be like though, they ussually get great covers.

its always the same. The PAL version of RE1, Zero, 4 have all been this minimalistic stance, even Dead Aim had nothing on its front cover!

it looks good though, the use of the african land mass is a nice touch.

typical US cover with the hero plastered on the screen, personally im a fan of more simplistic boxarts.

No. Cover with characters gives some insight on how a game might be if no one has ever seen it before.

The US boxart>EU.

Where is Chris's machete? It is missing...the sheath is there, just no machete. Did he let Jason borrow it?

A minimalist cover can be seen at a first glance in a shelf full of games with colorful covers. They're not looking for beautiful covers, they are creating covers using bussiness strategies, simple as this...

Oh, and I prefer PAL version. That image of the heroes of the game is so typical that says nothing but another action game.
I prefer a simple cover that says: there's no need of showing you something in the cover, just play and you'll get your pants wet of terror
