American boxart is and always will be a joke, there is exceptions, but the rule stands.

Perfect Dark was known as Red and Black in Japan. Also because it looks cool.

>>4030869
it's the JP and AUS box art, in the booklet, featured in the credits and viewable in game(as a billboard in the opening mission).

i've also seen it as an official poster.

It's interesting how Bangai-O (the robot itself) got re-designed for each game.
The original is probably my favorite design (although the other designs are also pretty rad) and this cover is probably my favorite.
Japanese DC cover is pretty awesome too.
