It makes sense with the CO OP thing. Japanese houses are smaller and closer to each other where friends can easily meet and play one another. Plus, Japan is handheld crazy so most likely the lady that lives next to you has one too. In the west, it's not like that. But, the Western boxart is cooler if you ask me.

hate the Japanese box

but the western box is magnificent... best boxart ive seen for a while!

Anon73495161d ago

The western one looks like any generic war game with snake's head stuck on the cover. Most 12 year olds would probably think it looks badass but other than that it looks like a typical FPS cover.

The fact that the majority of N4G enjoys the generic war game box art is no surprise to me, considering N4G.

While the Japanese one is a brilliant Yellow, with a neat design that actually makes it look like a Metal Gear game. Also, the four people on cover really make it feel like the team based, action stealth TPS it actually is.

solo infiltration action ..

sweet words ..

Sunny_D5161d ago

lol, that sure is an innuendo huh? Where's the young Eva in the game?

ThanatosDMC5161d ago

Yeah, i want her to be in the game too with many innuendos like in MGS3... Eva and Big Boss' wrestling match... Naked Snake got pwned!

DeltaZ3R055161d ago

even the boxart mean something damn!, kojima sir your just amazing!

love the two covers! its a win!

Tony P5161d ago

I dunno about "brilliant" because it's actually quite standard.

The packaging is almost never slapped on without consideration for the message it conveys.

Redempteur5161d ago

actually it's simple enough to convey the intended message ..besides we all know the story mind-f*ck is inside the game not on the cover

rezzah5161d ago

Western is very badass, I really like the Japanese Cover cause of the bright yellow, it really stands out.

Kratos Shepherd5161d ago

I love the Western box art but im not too sure about the Japanese one, too kiddish for me.
I really hope MGS:PW is like a MGS5 for the PSP, as Kojima said thats what he wanted it to be.

some really good games on that list. some of my favorites (not on the list) are Metal Slug XX, ultimate Ghosts & Goblins, Gradius Collection, Motorstorm Arctic Edge and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.

Metal Slug XX is surprisingly good.

I get that The Warriors is technically a PS2 game ported over, but damn it's amazing on the PSP

Dark Mirror was the best. Multiplayer and single player was fantastic

The Out of Place Artifact - A Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Retrospective

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Even to fans, the thought that a T-rated game could rank as the greatest is virtually unthinkable; how could the best Metal Gear possibly be a handheld title on a system less powerful than a PlayStation 2? Because it had to be – necessity is the mother of invention. Not only is this a full-fledged Metal Gear, the fresh spin on the gameplay draws from several sources outside of its wheelhouse. Peace Walker somehow manages to be less like its predecessor, Portable Ops, and more akin to Metal Gear Solid V. What boggles the mind is that it would be over five years before The Phantom Pain would release, an entire generation later."
