"Alldreamsfalldown's box is not a sports game"

Neither were half of the examples you gave.

[Destined Reality]

Both are pretty good boxes. I think that Box #1 has better colors and is very neatly organized. So its got my vote.

[yummybrains]

ADFD: Is box is great but i like bright colours i know that plain colours are the style of chocobo but i like bright colours
Good job though

Vengeance: i love his box the style is awesome (as i said before) COLOURS!!!
and looks so official (not that ADFD's dosent)

my vote goes to VENGEANCE

[Ayron]

omg, stupid server.
ok, repost:

Adfd's box is really nice, full of effects and clean.
Great and intelligent use of art and effects, kudos for that.


Vengeance's box is really clean, but the back feels a bit lacking compared to the front.

Thus concluding the fact my vote goes to alldreamsfalldown

[Vengeance]

mine sucks. i know.

Now shut up!! You not checking your genre is not my fault!!

[xIAMHUNTERx]

ADFD's box contains a really cool idea in it, along with a fantastic design. Since my dad's in the racing industry, I tend to view it as a sport, unlike certain other demographics... I'm going with ADFD.

[alldreamsfalldown]

You not checking your vague examples' genre is not my fault. Please be more specific with game examples in the future.

In the same post that I gave those vague examples I said Check IGN if you want to know what genre your game is. Had you done that, you would have seen that it was listed as Racing, not any type of Sport.

[alldreamsfalldown]

Here's that post:

"Yes. Anything from Tony Hawk to Fight Night to Bass Fishing and 1080 snowboarding will count as a sports game. If you are wondering if your game is a sports game, check IGN. I go by whatever genre they have listed for the game."

I looked up the 4 examples to the letter. 2 were not classed as sports and you clearly said "will count as a sports game "so that's what's I did.

Well, Dreams, maybe when you do a contest you will be able to list your ideas for rounds so impeccably clear that anyone with half a brain will be able to understand them. I assumed that everyone would realize that by sport game I meant that it must be under the genre Sport. Apparently I was wrong in assuming that. And the examples I gave, I just gave the links. I was not aware that different games of the same franchises would have different genres listed.

[alldreamsfalldown]

"I assumed that everyone would realize that by sport game I meant that it must be under the genre Sport."

Yes and racing is a sport.

Koopa I know it's not your fault that IGN have inconsistancies in their genre catagories. I followed your rules and I apolagise for the mistake that occured. I just think it's unfair that i'm being punished for something that really isn't either of our faults.

[IceFox]

Vengeance's is just a gradient with renders. ADFD looks like he did some work with his and I like his better. It's got a nice clean and warm design. It is also very unique and just flat out awesome.

I vote for ADFD.

the game i'm using is listed under "extreme sports" on ign.is that ok?

[KoopaDasher]

Yes. That works.

[shadysaiyan]

I would consider a racing game a sport.....

anyway -

Vengence - that box looks very good, but i couldnt really see it as being an official one, because the logo is kinda lost and shouldnt be covered up at all, bowser is over the temp (not really sure if that happens on wii games), and the gradient doesnt help. the back is alright, but wa-luigi is over temp and the font choice is generic.

ADFD - you box looks good, but is a little blurry on the front and i think its missing an esrb logo.

So, I vote for AllDreamFallDown, for better style.

on another note, some may know that i think mario is a whore for all the spin-offs games he has and i was just reading somethign today that said...sonice has a tennis game coming out (even though its not necassarly his game), but isnt that how mario started his spin offs? (not including mario kart)

Sonic's already had a spinoff. It's called Sonic Shuffle and it was apparently an abomination.

[alldreamsfalldown]

It's missing an ERSB logo because it is a UK box.
Thanks for the vote :)

P.s. I thought Mario Golf was the first.

[Moogle]

Alldreamsfallldown has a beautiful style to his and it looks gorgeous overall. Defintly my vote goes to him.

[Ratchetcomand]

I vote for Alldream because the box looks very official and the back is great. I like the colors as well.

Don't worry Vengeance, i like your as well ;).

[shadysaiyan]

ADFD, i ment pegi, but w/e any way i wouldnt be suprised if sega announced Sonic Kart or Sonice Circuit (made up) in the future. also i searched for that sonice shuffle and yeah it got bad reviews and it looked just like mario party >_>

[Ervo]

I'll vote for ADFD. Chocobo's kick assand the box is neatly organized and original. Vengeance's box is also cool but i prefer ADFD's box more :)

[ELCrazy]

I vote for Vengeance. I find his more colorful and lively, not to mention beautiful, while ADFD's one is too dull.

[KoopaDasher]

After realizing what I now know, I vote for Vengeance. His is the perfect feel for the game, whereas ADFD's box is almost the exact opposite of the game he made it for. Chocobo Racing is a kart racer, not unlike Crash Racing, with nearly the same art style, but ADFD has made it into a normal FF-style box, with an unofficial logo, and art that is not from the game. Yes, it looks good, but given the game that it was made for, I think that Vengeance's box gets the feel of the game more.

[thecodemaster]

I'm going to vote for Vengeance. I think his box shows the colour and life that you'd expect from actually playing a cartoon sports game like this.

[alldreamsfalldown]

I count 4 -7.

Using the original game art was not specified in the rules.

[frenchboy1]

I vote for vEngeance, his box is cooler and nicer. alldreamsfalldown's looks plain and the text doesn't fit to me.

[E_G]

It's true that ADFD's box isn't true to the original game, but I wish the original game had that style. They're both great but Vengeance's box is missing a caption and I prefer the fonts on ADFD's box. This is a close call but I'd say ADFD's box is better.

I vote for Alldreamsfalldown.

[alldreamsfalldown]

I don't usually like to bump threads but KoopaDasher is doing a great job at the effinciency of this competition, so let's help out and keep the votes coming :)

[KoopaDasher]

Yeah people.....I guess you could say they are tied in a way, each only needing two votes to win. Who's going to take the title?

[MugglesMan111]

im going to vote for alldreamsfalldown because his box is blended well, and looks full. Vengeances box is well made for the front but the back seems a bit bland. so my vote goes to ADFD

[Roboross]

I vote for ADFD because of his placement on the back and the simplicity of the cover.
I don't like how Vengeance used a gradient tool.

[Vengeance]

good job Alldreams, yeah my box was kinda crappy... :rolleyes:

[alldreamsfalldown]

Yours is good. It got more faves than mine :)
