Ugh, not at all. thats fucking fan art for something newer like GTA4 or 5.
And while tattood girls with purple hair certainly existed in the 80s, Vice City just never showed off their girls like that.

The original Vice City art was also way less detailed than that.

Most of those are VHS covers. Greg Martin did a lot of commission work for Warner Bros. and Disney. He also did a lot of western box art for non-Sonic games.

oh you were talking about the box art... eh, I'd say it has soul, I really liked that 2003 reboot of Astro Boy, and the style is also reflected on the in-game cutscenes and sprites.
The box could be better I guess, but I like the colors and Astro Boy looks cool as hell in it.
>Production values are amazing, contents is very hit or miss.
Animation alone makes it worth watching IMO, it's OVA or even feature film quality at times. I haven't watched it to completion but for the first 10 or so episodes it was interesting and had plot elements that are present in Omega Factor, so that was really cool. I assume the story in the game is actually more interesting than in the anime, since it turns into a huge Tezuka-verse crossover.

Commercial artists usually only got a few pieces of release material to work with, if even that. They weren't being paid to meticulously research the subjects of their art and were expected to make a quick turnaround.
This is why, for example, Western depictions of early Sonic consistently have the buzzsaw mohawk.
