Rayman Pirate-Community

The PAL art of Rayman 3 is still one of my all time favourites

The PAL version looks a better in terms of the front cover, but I think the back cover looks far better in the NTSC version.

Hmm, I don't think I've seen the back cover of the NTSC version, anyone know where to find an image of it?

EDIT:


I'm inclined to agree. That back cover looks far more dynamic and eye catching in comparison to the PAL back cover. That being said, I think they might have messed up with the Hoodmonger's arm, it looks titchy.

A new poll is up!

I'll vote for the PAL cover. The pink on the other covers make them look gay.

A new poll!?

Hmm, this is a bit different, given how they're effectively just variants of the same box-art. I think I'll go for PAL in this case, Rayman looks a bit sinister with his closed smile in the NTSC box-art.

I'm going with PAL. The colour scheme looks very weird on the NTSC one.

Bump.

When will that next poll arrive, Dutch?

Japanese. Give me a candy-covered Fiesta over a dull old medieval world any day, even if there is a big red dragon being tortured!

The main reason I prefer the PAL over the Japanese is that the former clearly looks like it was art drawn for the boxart as opposed to just taking in game sprites and adding them to a very nice background.

Pretty much my reasoning, I think it'd be far more competitive if they had drawn some original artwork for that background. I might prefer the PAL version, but I do think the background is a bit dull.

I think if they editted the sprites better in the Japanese version it could work. As in take out the white highlight thing they seem to have going on with them and give them a hue that makes them blend in with the background more, like how the characters in the PAL art make them reflect the yellow/orange light from the fire.

Voted for the NTSC-U/PAL box art. Like the green background and the dragon getting a beating from the heroes.

Yeah, I love the colours; I'd jump into a pretty world like that, no question. The western box art? I like that it had original artwork, but I find the solid green background so visually boring.

I believe we're due a new poll, no? May I suggest the Crash 3 box-art?
