That smiling character with the hammer makes me think of Pac-Man wearing some kind of body armor. The goofiness of that character seems completely out of place in what looks from this cover like a shooting game, so much so that it's distracting from the other details. But even spending awhile trying to take it all in, I don't see much of a story here beyond a battle involving some yellow smiling creature, which doesn't have any apparent significance in this context.

I'm not that impressed with the artwork either. The blur effect used to create the appearance of motion, such as for the bullet cartridge in the air and the swinging hammer, doesn't look quite right, the coloring is drab in some places while needlessly bright in others, and the tone of the picture is disjointed as I already mentioned. So while it's technically decent artwork for the most part, it has some problems that kept the Aesthetic score just below average.

None of that is to say this is really a bad cover, but it's not a particularly effective one either.
