This is probably old news to most people, but I just noticed today that God of War (GH) has artwork on the back side of the cover art. GoW II does as well. My quick search of the forum didn't turn up anything about it.

Are there any other Playstation 2 games that have double-sided cover art like this? Too bad they didn't put these in clear cases, that would be sweet.

Edit: Doh! I just didn't search well enough. Looks like this is being discussed in the 'RPG list for PS2' thread. Mods, feel free to merge, lock, or whatever you like.

In case I decide to compile this all in one place, here is what came up in that thread (in progress):

PS2 games with Dual-Sided covers
BMX XXX
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
God of War (GH)
God of War II (standard version)
Growlanser: Generations (SLUS 20758, 20759)
Inuyasha: Feudal Combat
Jak II
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (SLUS 21221)
Metal Gear Solid II, special edition
Nascar 09, the Best Buy version
Neo Contra
Samurai Western
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 (SLUS 21152)
Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity (SLUS 21132)
Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain

Unconfirmed but suspected:

In Japan, they actually did get some games in clear cases. I can't think of many examples off the top of my head, but I know my Star Ocean 3 has spiffy art on the inside too. That was only for the "limited" first print run, though, which I think is the case with most Japanese clear cases.

I believe okami had a double sided insert as well.

BMX XXX had a double-sided cover on the GameCube version, I assume the PS2 version had double-sided art too; but I could be wrong.

Didn't see Digital Devil Saga 2 already there, so edited the post.

Woah, I never knew God of War had double-sided cover art! Awesome! I've gotta find/switch out some clear cases now!

Cool. This is the main reason I posted this thread. I figured if it was totally unknown to me, there must be someone else. I was testing a PS2 laser w/ God of War earlier today because it is a dual layer DVD disc, and just happened to see the little bit of art behind the spindle holder thingy and wondered what it was.

Can anyone confirm Okami or BMX XXX on PS2 for me? I'd actually be more interested in the list for GameCube myself, but I'll keep this thread just about PS2 for now.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has a dual-sided insert.

Edit: However, my copy of Okami does not.

The original Okami for PS2 didn't have anything on the other side, not sure about the Greatest Hits or original Wii releases. The replacement art that Capcom sent out for the Wii version was doublesided, though. Haven't got BMX XXX to check for PS2 :(

Add Neo Contra (http://www.giantbomb.com/neo-contra/61-8098/neo_contra_by_jim_lee/51-494537/) to the list, btw! That one rocked.

I can confirm that BMX XXX does have a double-sided insert. We found out, when a lady tried to buy the game for her 7 year old son and one of my co-workers revealed it.

wow, checking out BMX XXX for the Gamecube was worth a second glance.

Nascar 09, the Best Buy version, has the original art on the other side.

My copy of special edition Metal Gear Solid II had a double sided cover (as in printed on both sides of the paper), is that what you mean?

Yup, that's what I mean. Thanks, and list updated.
