Ico for the PS2 is a great game but has one of the worst NTSC U/C box arts I've ever seen.  The Japanese one is way better.  I've already downloaded that one and plan to use it but I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to or has any plans to take the NTSC J boxa rt and translate it similar to what was done with the Final Fantasy III NTSC J box?

I could just try taking the front and side of the NTSC J box and combining it with the back of the NTSC U/C box like was done for FFIII but I have no experience making these covers.  What would be the best way to do it in photoshop?

Well,

 This game has plenty of covers, yes the NTSC/J, the NTSC/U-C, and also have you check the Europe ones? There are many of them...
 So I think, since this game has so many covers already, I dont think it worths make a custom of it, even it that is taking best part of each to make a custom mixed of original parts...

 Thats my opinion, but stills check the Europe covers for this game, u may get pleased.

Exactly.  Would've preferred the spine from the Japanese cover but that's about what I wanted.

Thanks again.

Yeah, that might look better. Let me try that...

My above post and the download link have been updated with the new (Japanese) spine. The retail PAL cover is almost the same as the Japanese one. I don't know why they chose that stupid Jake Lloyd-looking guy on the American cover.
