Critical Miss: They Brought Him to the Castle to Die...

why is he holding what appears to be a PGS1 sniper rifle? Yorda looks bored to tears

Did you mean PSG-1? That is not even close to a PSG-1. I don't know what it's trying to be, but I'll say it's pretty badly drawn.

Not good. Needs more pants bulge.

Also, really, the US cover art wasnt THAT bad. yall just hate it because the minimalist cover is so much better in comparison.

It's cool seeing the american versions of videogames getting fucked once in a while. The rest of the world usually gets the shitty end of the stick regarding in-game bonuses, release dates, special editions and pricing.

I remember wondering why I had seen 2 covers! Jesus that was a while back too

I'm just busy being scared of what'll become of the boxart here in Europe.. somehow I'm really worried ^^; It could still go horribly wrong for us this time around.

I remember seeing the U.S. box cover for ICO when I was younger. Never really gave it a second look. Boy oh boy did I miss out on a great game back then.

In all honesty though, I don't think either cover art would have made a difference in the game's sales here in America. Sure, the Japanese cover was much better, but it's minimalism approach probably wouldn't have caught very many people's eyes.
