Half the image is lost through oversaturated colors and raised contrast! The German version is also disturbed by those insanely huge rating images but what explains this cheaply pasted fire spot? Don't tell me they intented to emphasize that the game is colorful and gloomy and has lots of burning objects?

Holy crap, that US cover is... terrible. It's so blown out you can't even see anything but Sadwick and Spot. If anyone sees this on shelf and doesn't already know what it is, I highly doubt it will be half as enticing as the UK box. Presentation fail. I know I'll be ordering it from UK if Australia doesn't get it soon enough.
