    Not much to say here, I mean, the logo never seemed like there was any work put into it, but now this? Joystiq also points out that there isn't even a guitar on the cover, and that it seems a lot like a voucher to download the game online.

    EDIT: Upon inpection, there's a bit of a guitar in the top right corner. My mistake, Box Art = WIN

    Besides the logo, the box art looks pretty cool.

    Lame box art. Oh well, I don't expect much from box art.

    Also, "85 Songs By 83 Artists"??? There's been 84 artists confirmed for this game, what gives?

    I like it. Minimalist approaches to box are are far more visually appealing than your standard "Try to get as much crap on the box as possible".

    Is that really the front of the box? It looks like a magazine add.

    If they removed the '85 songs by 83 artists' bit it would look pretty good.

    I don't think that will be the game's final box art.

    That's definitely not your conventional box art. Almost all of the previous GH box arts have been pretty bad, displaying the ugly character models, so I actually prefer this change.

    Meh, I've seen far better box arts.
    Maybe if they made a guitar more prominent in the picture and removed the whole "85 Songs by 83 Artists" it would look pretty cool.

    It's interesting they're putting music lists on the front.

    I don't think the cover looks bad but I prefer Rock Band over Guitar Hero.

    Looks dumb with a 5 instead of a V.
    Infact the name is dumb, maybe they should done a 'call of duty on it' and just changed the brand to world tour making this one "World Tour 2".

    Lazy cover, but then again these games are not being bought for their covers I guess.  Just the name and the songs included are enough I'm sure.

    Guitar Hero hasn't been good since Harmonix made it, and I'm not being in any way snobbish because i've played a good amount of GH3 and some world tour. Harmonix just makes them better... somehow.

    The box art is pretty good. It's a shame they slapped that "85 songs by 83 artists" across the front.
