Drunk Different Munch's Oddysee Cover in Europe?

I found this on eBay a while back... someone was selling multiple copies of a German version of Munch's Oddysee. However... look at this... the cover is different.



However, two things make me suspicious. I notice however that the "Only on Xbox" sticker is missing from the top and also there is a Rupture Farms logo on it (seeing there is no Rupture Farms in Munch, what use is that).

My thoughts are that this is some kind of mock/pirate cover. Unless of course someone can confirm otherwise.

I also noticed the Rating Pending stamp in the lower left corner. Do they use those ratings outside the US? Also, MO has been rated Teen (T) in the US, so if they use the same ratings, it's wrong.

I saw that too ... but aren't as familliar with the US rating system and didn't know what RP meant (I only know the US ratings of the Xbox games I own). I think "that" design of rating logo only exists in the US... as the Australian ones are different, so the European ones are likely to look different also. Just out of interest, Munch is rated M15+ over here in Australia.

I still stick with my original theory on what the cover is, especially since Xavier posted the French one.

This is a mock cover and has nothing to do with Munch's Oddysee, Oddworld, or Microsoft.
Munch's Oddysee has the same packaging worldwide.

Thanks Alfie!

Just to clear some things up a little more, the "RP" Rating Pending means that the game has not recieved a rating yet, so they made it plausible that it was an old cover, but thanks to Alf, we know that it neverwas and never will be recieving a rating from ESRB.

Drunk Its a Fake!

Alf is right! That one is a fake! (he said it in different words though)

The sucker who did that should get sued! But, how could someone make a cover like that..... I bet'ya if you were to open it, it'll probably have a missing cd- or something like a broken Tomb Raider Disc.

I think that was the original Munch's Oddysee cover until it was replaced with the can cover.

alcar,
why put an enemy in fron of the cover
I think it's not real

the 3 image who compose the coser:
splinterz: in game
Slig: postcard
logo+vykker

where relased on the internet at the same moment
so it's probably a guy who found thos 3 images at the same time and decided to make a cover

if the Vykker wasn't there I would maybe believe it more

hope you understood what I tryed to say
