The North American box art is just about as bright and colourful as they come. It’s packed full of action with ships, explosions, a trench run backdrop vaguely reminiscent of the Death Star, and one of those green-outline maps that you only ever find in spy thrillers. Sure, it couldn’t look less like the actual game, but it does a good job of selling the experience<\/p>\n

Ooooh, the Japanese design goes full Top Gun. This is less about action and more about looking cool (something that’s not so simple with a Virtual Boy headset strapped to your noggin). Be it the muted colour palette of blacks and reds \u2014 a more realistic image of the vibrancy you’ll see in game \u2014 or the badass ship reflection in the central pilot’s visor, this cover oozes cool.<\/p>\n
