Koei Tecmo has revealed the European box art for Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, and it bears more than a passing resemblance to Grand Theft Auto. Dynasty Warriors cover art usually just has a picture of one character and tends not to inspire much interest, so this is quite a departure.
The considerably more busy "panel" style art definitely looks like something out from Rockstar's library. I somehow doubt that Strikeforce will sell as many copies as Grand Theft Auto IV, but it couldn't hurt to try a new approach, right?
Strikeforce is out today for Xbox 360 and PS3, and features online play. That's pretty rad!
Koei Europe “Borrows” Grand Theft Auto Cover Art For Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce [Siliconera]
[Update: I originally stated that the cover art was North American. It is the European box. Strikeforce's NA cover features a solo DW character]

Man, I still haven't even played the demo of this yet...
You get to actually pursue Lu Bu in this game!

It's hilarious that the PS3 version doesn't look anything like that. As for the game, I love it!
