It's just... you know. The way i see american culture, *sigh* well.... Americans are not ass people. There is little to none ass in your representation of the female body. So it makes sense that the cheeky cover had to go.
Because i don't really believe that a game like this could be hurt by a risqué cover. It's just presenting the character the way she is.

What I can't seem to figure out is how South Peak can publish such a perveted game when NinjaTown and Bing Bang Mini is on the shelves right now... What kind of reputation are they trying to get??!!!
@Cough:
As an American, it has nothing to do with ass. Our Puritanical hypocrisy is the problem. For whatever reason (and I think that we all know really what it is) we've been conditioned to think that blood, guts, violence, shredded body parts, spurting veins ... hey, they're all a-OK.
But dare to show a nipple and -- holy fucking jumping Jesus!! -- all hell breaks loose!! Suddenly we're depraved perverts who need to have censored Internet access and fines from the FCC!
It's pathetic. How absolutely ridiculous that the human body in its natural state is considered to be obscene, but tearing that same body to shreds in a violent blood bath is acceptable.
I love my country, but - damn! - a lot of people here have some really fucked up ideas on what is and is not obscene.

John B and I are in total agreement on this. American media is in a sad and sorry state of hypocrisy. British media isn't much better, though it lacks the puritanical bent.
I actually disagree with John B and Jim S somewhat. While its true actual nudity is kept out of the American media while violence is quite acceptable, if you look at the average TV program (be it Fox, MTV, VH1, ABC, you name it) there is PLENTY of sex to be had. Promiscuity has become a pretty big American media theme.
For example, just go to the mall during the summer. Count how many teen girls there are running around, half clothed and readily cock teasing the average slob. Its all they know from their music/movies/TV/magazines and other media influences with pop starlets making sex videos. These are the things that raise kids now, not actual parenting, and adults that have the backbone to say "no."
Wearing thongs when your 13 is hip. Shirts that proudly display 'slut' or something of that type are pretty regular. Low cut jeans, tight tops, etc etc. Its supposedly acceptable behavior these days to watch 'Sex in the City' when your 16 and grow up to be a shallow whore with a false sense of entitlement.
There really is no modesty anymore. Which is why the change to the cover of this game is even more ridiculous!
