Salut les gens, et bienvenue dans une autre édition de Bagarre d'art de boîte!

Dernière fois, we took a look at the fourth entry in Capcom’s Mega Man franchise: Mega Man 4 for the NES. It wasn’t a close one, non plus; loin de là! Un énorme 79% of you preferred the Japanese variant, with the EU version bringing in 15% du vote, and the North American version trailing significantly at 7%.

Cette semaine, we’re going to be looking at a classic FPS for the GameCube: Séparateurs de temps 2. It’s hard to believe that this game is now 20 years old, because in many ways, it still feels as fresh as it did back in 2002. Featuring a story mode and the classic arcade mode, it gained legions of fans and remains one of the most fun experiences you can have with an FPS title to this very day.

Évidemment, this brawl will be a duel between North America and Europe, since Timesplitters 2 was never released in Japan. Enough talking though, let’s get cracking!

Assurez-vous de voter dans le sondage ci-dessous; mais d'abord, vérifions les conceptions d'art de la boîte elles-mêmes.

Amérique du Nord

North America’s box art for Timesplitters 2 features a single character front and centre, pointing a pretty huge gun towards the viewer. There’s a whole bunch of strobe effects coming from the centre and moving outwards, mais sinon, there’s not a whole lot of colour going on here. The logo itself is nice and bold in the centre of the image.

Europe

Europe’s variant is quite different, featuring three separate characters in a composition that resembles comic book art, with panels separating each of the characters. Not only that, but the artwork itself is more stylised; it’s busier and there’s more going on, but it makes for a pleasing image overall. The logo is a bit smaller here and sits lower than the NA variant, but we wouldn’t want it to cover that stunning artwork.

Merci d'avoir voté! Nous vous verrons la prochaine fois pour un autre tour du Box Art Brawl.
