Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Rayman Advance

Eh...Honestly neither.

They're both awful, but I think the green background is better.

Both aren't great but I voted for Europe as I think the blue fits better.

It always annoyed me how much they didn't care to actually use the Rayman design from the game the box art is actually for.

Rayman Advance is a port of Rayman 1, but this 3D model is definitely the Rayman 2 design.
And literally the exact same situation occurs with Rayman DS, which is a port of Rayman 2, but uses the Rayman 3 design on the cover.
It really just gives the impression that Ubisoft doesn't care about the games themselves, rather just the marketing of them.

and stupid me is still waiting for Rayman 4(not the Rayman 4 that become Rayman Raving Rabbids), but the true Rayman 4, where is my next 3D Rayman huh Ubisoft

They're not what I would consider "great", but the blue one has some effort put into it, as opposed to that random green vortex that looks like someone playing with a new painting software for half an hour

This week, I got to give my vote, to the European box art.

Box Art Brawls Current Total:

Europe: 70

Japan: 69

North America: 80

Australia and New Zealand: 1

Why’d they make Rayman look like an evil dictator over the Antitoons on the EU box art?

I wasn’t sure if he was wielding them like a minion Lord or about to kill one.

Ray Man emerges from a vortex of Mountain Dew on the North American one.

Both are kinda meh, but I went with Europe just because of the little blue guys

They're both awful, but the NA art is slightly superior.

North America, as it has energy, a sense of excitement and movement, and directional force coming off the cover to the viewer. The green is also more exciting.

I'll vote Europe, sure Rayman there looks a little out of character but it means that he won't tolerate these things.

The American cover is just too cool. I love that green background.

@HatesCheese

I agree, can't really decide what to vote

I think the NA cover just doesn't succeed in what it's trying to do. The concept is for the cover to be a moment of action and energy. For me, it doesn't do that and is visually messy. Why? I think Rayman's lack of actual limbs makes a dynamic pose like that just not work. I get no sense of motion from his hands and feet(or gloves and shoes) just hanging in midair. They feel haphazardly placed, even though it's true to the character. The Euro cover is okay, but the concept simply works far better to me.

They're both bad. Why is the background so basic? It should be in the beautiful, detailed, colorful art style of the games.

@Giancarlothomaz Man, I'd buy a 3D Rayman 4 day one. Just imagine how pretty it could look on modern hardware. Rayman 2 is one of my favorites.

Again, why? Do they think Americans are more into green and Europeans more into blue? I honestly don't get it.

That said, NA. Green is prettier.

Neither are great but I've actually gone for the NA one. Because the artwork aint all that, the less of it, the better. So the more minimalist style appeals to me, lol

I would say Europe got the better of the two covers.

Neither of them are anything to write home about. NA is slightly better, I guess.

Like a lot of the comments have said, neither one of them are great but to me the Europe cover is better. Seeing that Rayman Advance is a port of Rayman, the little blue guys on the Europe cover actually appear in game and more suiting the game. While the US cover just reminds me of Rayman 2.

Went with Europe because of the font for "Advance." Yep, that is pretty much it heheh.

I had the North American variant when I was a kid, but I actually prefer the European variant box art. It looks so much cooler. Wish my copy has that box art.

I'll say Europe, if only for having a bit more to what's there on the box, as opposed to just having Rayman running away from some green vortex thingy that isn't even shown in the game.

I like NA’s flashy dynamism more.

Wow, both of those are terrible. I remember seeing these when I was younger and being totally disinterested. Rayman is such a boring character design and stupid name.

I don't like either of them. They're both dull and basic.

This poll would've been more interesting with the Rayman 10th anniversary GBA box.

Rayman, THPS 2 and Castlvania were my launch titles I bought alongside the GBA system.

They’re both not great but I’m gonna go Europe on this one since it shows Rayman and I’m guessing the enemies he’s gonna face. Like a cover of Mario and a bunch of GOOMBAS.
