Q1. do you think box art is a major deal to the game being successful.
in response to briana no, i think the box art should show a good representation of the game.
Do you think the video game's box art is a good representation of most video games? Or do you think you shouldn't judge a book by its cover?
In response to Daniel, I do think the box art can help you to identify the video game and give you some idea as to what kind of game it is.
The box art for a video game is one of the most important features. It is the first thing that costumers see when deciding if they want to purchase a product or not.
In response to Caleb, I think the box art plays one of the biggest roles in sales.
I think this specific box art does a good job of incorporating the important components that should be featured. It is inviting and makes people want to play the game.

In response to Caleb, I think whether or not the box art is seen as misleading depends on the person. For some, the art may be more significant than for others.
Do you think that box art can draw in video game players that wouldnt previously play a game in that genre or had never heard of the game before?
In response to R'mani, first person shooter video games such as Call of Duty and Assasins Creed have misleading box art because they generally have very detailed, realistic covers when the game itself is not as high quality.
