So Crackdown is a game very much made for a Western audience. It's a open world game about super cops. Not the Jackie Chan type either. It has a pretty cool cell shaded art style that makes things looks nice even though this was a relatively early Xbox360 game. Anyways, here is the North American and European cover:

And here is the Japanese cover:

I'll let you pick out the obvious differences. And I don't mean the title.
Dammit Japan, lol.

That Japanese box art looks..outdated..like early 90s anime style..
idk..
Hmm, never knew Crackdown had an alternative boxart cover. It always puzzles me why devs or marketers just can't choose the best boxart and simply use that for every territory. Take Ico for example.

And they say the west ruins everything Japanese. But this is just one example of many on how the opposite is true.
Oh boy... Why is it that everything that comes from the far east looks like old anime? Does the game look the same anyway? I hope so...
Lupin the 3rd? O.o
