Yay for shitty photoshopping and amateurish compositions resulting in generic boxart!
You'd think that when you do a game of that scale, you'd have the budget to put the best movie poster designers to do the packaging. Unfortunately not everyone in games business work that professionally. Instead, they view boxart as a low-priority task that can be assigned to any summertrainee willing to do it.
Hell, Microsoft hired the same guy who did Indiana Jones and Basic Instinct logos to do the logo for Halo.
That said, I agree that Capcom Europe boxart is waaaaaay better. And there is a reason for that. They are using a sklled UK based design studio (whose name I have forgot) to do all their art and packagings. You can really tell the difference - it doesn't look like generic crap.
