Guitar Hero 5 box art revealed (find the guitar!) [update]

It's not like the previous Guitar Hero boxes set the world on fire, but the recently revealed box art for Guitar Hero 5 is ... well it's definitely different. At least the previous boxes had, you know, guitars on them. As one Joystiq blogger put it, the Guitar Hero 5 art looks more suited to an expansion or a DLC voucher than it does to a full release. Still, we suppose we can appreciate the backstage insider appeal it exudes. Besides, it's not like there are many people left that are unfamiliar with the title at this point.

See the full monty after the break.

Update: It looks like there is a guitar on the box. See if you can find it!

It looks like the Criterion Collection-ish covers that NeoGAF was doing a a while ago.

i wonder how they'll stretch this over the full band kit

At least it has Iron Maiden on the front, that's what I've always wanted from GH game sadly it's not plastered all over it, because that would make it GH: Iron Maiden and would make it worth buying.

Eye-catching and different. It doesn't scream "I'M SO FUCKING RADICAL." Doesn't look like it was done by committee.

Toss out the promo list, keep it clean, and that's actually pretty good. I'd love it if they made the guitar-included packaging look like a stickered-up guitar case.
