Sonic Unleashed… Box art?

Never trust a box folks.

Yesterday, MKSkillz sent us a link to Play.com showing off what might be the Sonic Unleashed Box art.  While we always appreciate the heads up — we don’t always post about leads if there doesn’t seem to be enough substance behind them.

I think we might need to take a step back here.  While this certainly looks compelling, I’m going to suggest that this might not be the official art for the game.  It could be.  But folks are jumping to conclusions it seems.

If you want my honest opinion, the “Box Art” in question looks like it could be a Photoshop mock-up.  I know it’s on Amazon, so it must be official, right!? Well, not so much, as Amazon allows users to upload their own product images, and it’s not rare to see placeholders for upcoming games in online stores like this.

So in short, I don’t mean to be raining on this parade, but I do think we should take one tiny step back and wait for the official word from SEGA before making any final judgment calls here.

    @KC Cross: And Sonic is recognised as cobalt blue. I regard his colour as being closer to denim, though.

    @KC Cross: Oh? How much do you really know?

    POP QUIZ! No Internet research for this one! Hints in brackets!

    1. Who currently plays Sonic, Amy and Shadow in the Japanese games?

    2. What’s the name of the American actress who played Amy from 1999 to 2004?

    3. Exactly what breed of hedgehog are Sonic and Shadow? (If you know your Gamecube ads…)

    4. What was Tails’ alternate species when he was being created? (It was dropped at the time because it resembled another game character.)

    5. Which playable characters in Sonic Adventure do NOT tackle Chaos 6 on the Egg Carrier?

    6. How many of the games were made completely by Sonic Team Japan?

    7. What’s Blaze’s royal title? (Her title is often mistranslated.)

    8. What colour’s the Chaos Emerald that Rouge displays to show her worth in SA2?

    9. What was Eggman’s first prototype design?

    10. What are the three specific emotions that power Darkspine Sonic’s abilities? (These are emotions represented by three World Rings!)

    This might be the box art but you know remember how many they had predicted for SSBB , but then again the real story was supposed to be Dr.Eggman Splitting the world apart by creating that monster.
