I don't have a problem with the art in the AD&D 2e reprints. They were the first D&D books I had, so not much to compare them to either. And the art was color throughout, which I was not used to at that time (all the other game books I had access to had black and white interior art).
Godlike on the other hand had some really shitty art, as did its sequel/spin-off Wild Talents. They were shitty in different ways though. Godlike (a game about superpowered people in WWII) had actual WWII photos with things liike a flying man awkwardly photoshopped in, ruining the composition of the photo. Wild Talents was a general supers game and its art fell into the "all lens flare all the time" school of art. Here's the cover.
I think that alien grey at the bottom may be the only figure who doesn't have their eyes obscured by shades or lens-flare in the entire book.
