Thread: The Best Looking R&C Box Art Cover Ever

In your opinion, which are the best looking game covers have you seen from the Ratchet and Clank franchise so far? Whether it is the North American, U.K. or even the Japanese box covers from this series, mention or even post pictures of your favourite ones at the meantime. Please make sure you post the official box covers rather than ones that were fan-made.

In all honesty, I think Tools of Destruction has the best looking art cover from all the other games… from the U.S. versions.



I just really love the set up of Ratchet's back with Clank on it faced in front while Ratchet is looking at the background. Also the amount of detail and the scenery just looks incredible, especially the robot pirate's reflection on Clank's eyes.


I also like the U.K. box cover version of Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal a bit more just because of the perspective and lighting of the overall image. The U.S. version may stand out better with the colour and simplicity, but the U.K. box art of R&C3 appeals to me more. Can't find a really good quality image of the cover, but here the image that was used in the U.K. version.

And just for kicks, I kinda like the Japanese box cover for Going Commando. Seeing Ratchet and Clank in a well drawn Anime look makes the design so lively despite Ratchet's big bushy eyebrows.

for the American R&C:ToD why are there pirates on Metropolis?
And what is Ratchet doing with that Infecto-bomb thingy… I can't rmember the name of the gun… Haven't played that game in ages I have that cover for my game… But when i first got it i wanted to use the gun on the front… Three playthroughs later i realsised it is the Infector upgraded, shooting a strem of goo (that it can't do )

My favourate??? That be a hard one? The first game was kind of… Boring, the second was really cool though (my favourate colour (well one of them) at the back. And ratchet holding my favourate weapon! ). The third was really cool too! I liked the explision! Ratchet Galdiator was cool. It had Ratchet in the middle with the screens at the top with Clank on one side and Vox & Ace on the other looking in either Clank's direction or at the big 'Ratchet Gladiator' in the middle. And ToD was cool… But they put a bit too much into it Nah that one is probably one of the best! ACiT was really funny. Clank and Ratchet serious and side by side! Clank Levtating ratchet ready to throw his wrench! And booth ready to destroy anyone who gets in their way!.. Oh and Nefarious in the back looking like he needs Lawrence REAL bad!

All cool

1.ToD
2.R&C3
3.ACiT
4.R&C2
5.RG
6.R&C1

no QFB cuse… TBH i just can't rmember?

Well the European/Australian version had a box cover for Q4B I believe, which looked more like this.



The North American version didn't had a box cover for the game just because the game can only be purchased at the PSN.

I really like that quest for booty one and the japanese one for going commando one you showed also I like the American version box cover for a crack in time,the one that shows half of ratchet and half of clank^^

I like the American cover for Going Commando the best.

Yes now i remember! Thats the one! (really outta get that again… It's a shame them Americans get no disck? But oh well… They get haps of other cool stuff, so it… Well actually i don't think it does add up!.. Anyway… That one is a really good one… And as for the ones i can't just turn around and look at (american & Japenese) the Japanese ones don't really um? Look the best to me? But that is just my opinion. I know many of you like them though. And americans like there covers… close up TOD it is giving a close look at just clank really (at the pirate in his eyes ) and ACiT has R&C's faces… Very close, but that one is pretty cool

I do agree The North American cover of A Crack in Time is pretty neat, but I get this feeling that the kind of design concept use in the cover has been done before.

Didn't Jak 2 and Jak 3 used something like this in one of their official artworks?

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time


The only differences between ACIT's cover and the Jak official images are the following:

1. Jak has one character for this half concept, while R&C provided two characters.

2. The design used in ACIT became the official cover, while the designs in Jak 2 were just art designs for the game.

3. ACIT has a more vibrant appeal while Jak2/3 has a dark simple approach.
