Damn... that is pretty horrible. Why don't they just pay us to make the box art?

Not bad, but could be better.

I'm not too crazy about this box art.
I think a slightly different approach would be better. They should have a shot of Samus facing straight ahead (sort of like the MP1 box art) and then split it down the middle. On the left side you would have Samus w/ the Luminare in the background and on the right side you would have Dark Samus w/ the Ing in the background. Then place the logo about where it is now. I'd be perfect for this game.

I know, that pic was just ASKING to be used as the boxart, but NOA had a mind fart again
.There's nothing wrong with it as is, but it's not as good as it could be.
There's just something about prerendered art that I don't like on boxarts. I couldn't tell you why.
The only boxart that I thought looked pretty cool with the 3D-rendered art was Donkey Kong Country. It really worked on that game, because that's partially what the game was about.
For games like Metroid Prime 2, I feel like drawn art, like that of the Metal Gear Solid games, would look most appropriate.

That box looks great, if somone on the forum made it you would be all over it
It's pretty lame. Samus isn't in as strong a pose as on the first game's cover. That was a better piece of boxart. It announced the long-awaited return of Metroid with a bold render of Samus standing tall (looking distinctly 3D, a selling point for the series).
On Echoes' cover, Samus looks like she's taking a dump.
At least get Dark Samus on there, an enemy, a cool background, something. THe half dark, half light motif is not that provocative or striking to the average shopper who isn't familiar with the game's premise.

Ok, so you want plain white boxes with just black lettering? I like to have a nice looking box in my collection. Its not a huge deal, but I like a good all around package. Good game and good art. And it is art, not everyone is going to like anything they put out, we all have different tastes.
And I don't really think not liking this is whining, I just don't like it. End of story, no big deal.
