Probably because the interest is different in those countries, and it changes to fit more common opinions, and maybe increase the sales of that game.

Yeah, just adding onto what Luke said, a small difference you'll find in every boxart for different regions is the little rating in the corner, as the ESRB only rates North American games. :P

I have seen quite a few videogames though that have the same boxart (barring the rating) in every region, just with the logo and writing on it in a different language.
