Do we know this is final? Last we heard from EA was they didn't have the final art yet. This could just be a mock up.

Either way, this looks great - gives me chills to see "the man" as 007 one more time.

This does look pretty great. And it could be the box art. But I know for sure that EA has not released the official Box art yet.

Pity, looks great. Though I wish they'd nix the giant "007" logo, or at least replace it with a much smaller one.

EA probably thinks nobody will associate From Russia With Love with James Bond without that famous logo.

I wonder how wound up Connery neighbours in New York will be when they hear him playing this at 3am in the morning. :)

Looks pretty darn good to me. :)

MI6 posted this same art as "First Cover Art Revealed" in an article a few months back. They also said themselves that the current design "may not be final".

Based on what we've seen with previous covers (NF, EoN and Rogue Agent) I'd say that we are one or two steps away from the final design.

I like the art, cool and classic, but I'm still sad that the game won't be avaiable for PC. Apart from that, the artwork is quite impressive. :)

Thats REALLY sexy box art! If that came in a '27 x '40 poster size I'd frame it and hang it in my flat.

I didn't have much doubt considering EA has been using that same artwork as a poster for just about every event. They did something similar with Everything or Nothing.

I really dig the "old-school" approach; however, I would have also liked to have seen an effort for something original. This is really just a slight revamp of the UK Quad from when the film was released.

I like the box art for the game, and hopefully EON looks at how good this artwork is and decides to do something similar for the Casino Royale posters.

No doubt there will be promotional posters for it in game stores, and no doubt some of them will show up on ebay!

Did everyone notice Mr. Asterix's new banner? EA sent us this key art to use for our FRWL section and stories. Nice. :)
