In today's issue of Regional Boxart Comparisons:
Silent Hill 2
For #Playstation 2
The two covers have very different styles here.
The U.S almost comes off as a slasher like Saw while the EU is a little more subtle and mystic, with most of the box simply all black
Which do you prefer?
U.S < > EU

I think there are just enough blank and abstract elements for it to work with the face close-up.
The EU one while still fine is maybe a little too artistic minimalistic
The cover looks borderline naked without it.
I don't know if that was also the case in the U.S
Here is the Japanese Xbox cover
Giving off more of a feeling of a typical Japanese horror movie
But it's interesting that their choice leaned towards giving the puzzle aspect a lot of attention

Session 9 has the same look as the SH2 box and even deals with some of the same themes. It’s a very creepy (and very good) movie.
Oh, but just to be clear, I wasn't trying to say that they were inspired by Saw.
Just that the cover reminded me a bit of that style
