The US box art for upcoming PS3 art gameHeavy Rainhas been revealed, and it continues that fabled North American tradition of having really crap packaging. Rather than the less-is-more approach of the European box,Heavy Rain‘s US counterpart has a bunch of characters plastered all over it. Looks tacky if you ask me.
Just as an FYI for American publishers, you don’thaveto fill your packages with a ton of visual information out of fear that people will be bored. Sometimes there’s more to be gained from having a classy bit of box art, rather than a patchwork mess of randomly collected characters. Must we really have a repeat of theICOfiasco for every Sony game?
In any case,Heavy Rainwill release for the PS3 on February 23. Hopefully the game is better than the box.
