They seem to have gone for the Star Warsy look on the ships .. but not a bad mock up.

Yeah, looks good. I just wish it were coming in at $20 rather than $30.

Yeah they did. Japanese logo kicks ass. Why do companies constantly feel the need to change what's already good... Like you said though, at least it's coming here.

Reminds me of Layer Section's art.

I'm not digging the ugly lime green text, but otherwise I think it does the job pretty well. And hey, at least it's not Mobile Light Force 3, heh.

Looks pretty good to me. And no retarded IGN/website comments either. Since I never picked up either the DC or Cube import coupled with the fact this has extra modes and I have a nice Hori pad, I'll definitely be getting this.

that new logo is fucking awful. totally uninspired and generic. much prefer the japanese boxart overall as well. I'd probably be even more upset if I actually liked this game.

Well it could be much worse (mobile light force 2). Nothing wrong with that boxart except for the logo.

Chaos Field US boxart... NOT GOOD, EITHER!

Words fail to describe... the tackiness of that logo. Surprisingly, someone was paid to design that (simultaneously desecrating the kickass jap logo). The ships are... okay I guess. Generic, but then the in-game ships are kinda generic too -- Definitely not bad. It's funny , I thought box art was meant to *attract* potential players :P I love the original CF logo, it looks like a piece of kickass graffiti. One would think that would appeal more to Americans... but then, it is creative, so no, doesn't fit into the American market at all :P

Fixed:

Chaos Field US Boxart.... Very bad

......but Chaos Field was a shit game anyway.

With all seriousness, the artwork itself is fine, but that Starfox font... *shudder* Makes me glad I'm not a Chaos Field fanboy; if i was, then I might be concerned.

nice to see it come to Cube and in NA, but man, uninspired artwork for sure. Loses a lot of it's raw appeal.

better than nothing though. There isn't exactly a Milestone of America, so they probably had not idea what to do :p

Looks like something you'd see on a game like Drome Racers or Thunderslot Groove Riders.

It may not be as good as the Japanese boxart, but it's still no total loss. At least it's no Mobile Light Force 3.

The logo font looks very Nintendo-y and probably should have been colored metallic silver or gold. Hopefully they'll keep the original Japanese logo in the game's title screen.

Anyway it's great to see this arriving here even though I've got the DC version. I'll likely grab it.

You guys are WAAY too picky. Then again Boxart is fairly unimportant to me

It looks just fine to me.

and BTW jsut to confirm the USA GC Chaos Field is REALLY coming out on the 18th of October?? (that is only 8 days from now O_O)

Um.. leave the boxart exactly the same...?

Seriously, seeing the title screen (on the shmups.com review) was incentive enough for me to download the game. It even fooled me into thinking the game would be decent. o__O

Gee... that doesn't look just like every other game you see dishevled amongst the rest of the bargain bin trash - covered in dust and sticky fingerprints. That really dynamic Chaos Field logo the japanese got would never go over well in america - especially since we prefer bland sci-fi fonts and hate graffiti. I mean - go look around any city in the country and you can totally tell that we HATE graffiti style lettering. I really think the bland lettering helps to accentuate the 'Chaos' part of the title.

Oh, wait... No.

Honestly, i think it needs more old men with banjos.

I have to say, I'm no fan of the 'lazy render.'

-And the old logo was too good to not use.

D- Must try harder.

The day has been safed by that nice boxart

. If I ever own the game I will instantly replace the original by a high-resolution print from that one!
