Here is what you are looking for when Metal Gear Solid 4 hits your respective areas. Hi-res & realistic for the West. Sketchy & super cool for the East.

Being a super fan of the series, they could have tossed the game in a paper bag & written "NEW METAL GEARS YAI!" in crayon for all I care. Just as long as I get play the game & bask in the 4 hours long cut scenes. When they make sure that both areas I don't live in gets a cooler box cover than I will, it gets me a bit irked. Not to mention that technically Snake should have his Solid Eye attachment showing on the US cover. At least going by every picture & action figure I have of him. Plus the Euro box art just goes along with every other copy of the Metal Gear series. This is just one super fans opinion though. Check out the covers for yourself & tell us what you think.
