So far the only thing that's been seen as box art for the game has been the early working logo on either a black or red gunbarrel background. GameStop.com has this for their xbox version cover image, and it's also on other online retailers' sites as the Prima Games guide book cover art. It's been my experience that the guide books never really show any cover art online until it's been finalized, so it's likely that this will be what we'll get. I personally like it. It's clean and simple and the logo works well.

Yeah, I like it. Personally hate the P99, but it's much better than the anonymous Bond of AUF et cetera. Can't wait 'til Christmas!

I love it. But I think it would be more fitting that Brosnan's face be digitized more, since that's how he's going to appear in the game. And the whole 007 Nightfire logo coud be shrinked a little. Other than that, it would be great.

Completely agree. While Pierce's face would undoubtedly be a strong selling point, a digitized Pierce IMHO would attract a persons eye just a bit more. "What's the digital Pierce all about?"

It's a great cover but I still feel 'nightfire' should have an upper case 'n'.
The red works well with the title. Way better than AUF.

That's the best Brosnan virtual likenesss yet!
Way, way better than the GoldenEye, TND and TWINE attempts. Oh, and let us not forget that god awful one in 007 Racing - the man should have sued!

that box you showed us, I'm not convinced, It looks like something some kid tried to put together with Coral Photo, in fact, I could probubly do that, but I don't have coral photo

i was in st louis last weekend and i went to this big mall there......saw a lot of bond stuff there......ive seen it all before but not till i went into the video game store. in the gamecube section there was a 007 nightfire box and it had a big sticker on it saying "coming soon" the box was black with the nightfire logo that weve seen before and if i remember correctly bond was behind it in the gunbarrel. its not the same as the one above.

I've seen that box in stores too and it's simply a demo box that has a gunbarrel image ripped from 007.com and the discarded logo. I've also seen one that consisted of a distorted pixelated screenshot and "BOND 007 NIGHTFIRE" written on the bottom. Retailers use these simply as sort of a way to preview upcoming games, especially around this time of year when the releases that will be competing for $$$ this Christmas are starting to be released.

EBgames and GameStop have different images for the games themselves, but the Prima games guide remains consistent on both sites. If this is just temporary art, it's most likely official temporary art and not created for display like most other ones.

You've seen the box in stores? You really should try and get your hands on it Paul! That could become a collectors piece.

I doubt it. There's at least 5 of them at every location (for reasons I don't know) and EVERY video game store has them. It's sort of weird, but it's been common practice for the last few years at least.

You know I offered the clerk 20 bucks for it and he said I could pay 20 bucks for the box and 50 bucks to him. i whipped out my cash and he said "oh i didnt know you were taking me seriosly derrrrrrr er derrder"
ididnt take him seriously but it was worth a shot.

Anyway, I like the cover. It would have been really awesopme though, if his face was half real/half digitilized.

That PS2 box looks more like a teaser poster. Maybe that why they did that? OR they did it to not confuse people as to what console it goes with.
