Not even the goofy-looking cartoon alien (Shade, just the latest in the endless parade of Sonic the Hedgehog supporting characters, and looking straight out of Invader Zim) can stop this early Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/21/sonic-chronicles-screens-charge-up-spin-into-view/) boxart from looking cool. It's about as simple as it can be -- a hand-drawn picture of Sonic, the alien thing, and the logo. But it's proof that in the hands of a good artist, even just a picture of Sonic can be made appealing.
Though both look nice, we're amused by how much the dark, blue- and- purple-dominated artwork contrasts with the color explosion (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/03/24/possible-leaked-screenshots-from-sonic-chronicles/) found in the actual game.
