I like it and am also glad to see a krogan standing with Shepard even if it is not Wrex. I thought the first cover was really good and I think this one is also very good.

I liked the first game's box art more. It's all good though because the game itself will probably be amazing.

Well I didn't like the first one, so I'll reserve what anyone says. The same thing happened with me a Gears of War though. Didn't like the first one, but liked the second. I'll keep judgement

Being serious now I dont like it. The first boxart made you feel the game was epic and that something big was on the horizon. This one just looks like a generic space marine running with some friends. You dont get the epic feel. I know the game wont be that way,but we are talking about the boxart here.

What about women!?!?!? On the ME forums almost every women there was agreeing that it was sexist that Bioware doesnt go out of their way to specifically make female sheppard trailers and cover art. They need to learn more about marketing.

It is just plastic though. When I bought my copy, all I had was a white case with "Mass Effect (X360) Gamestop" .

Maybe thats why I didn't like the game lol

When I bought mine they only had 1 used copy in my entire town.(odd right?) and part of the boxart is scratched out. It urks me everytime I look at it. O.0

I totally agree with you. ME2 is still my most anticipated game but, compared to the first one, this just seems like they took the easy way out and focused on the combat. The first one, you knew something big was going to happen through the course of the game. Maybe it will change closer to release date

I like it. It sort of remids me of the old Star Wars posters in a way. I mean just the artstyle and the way the characters are represented. It is actually pretty slick. Aside from that, this will be me when I finally get to play it.

I guess since they proved that ME 1 was awesome they felt they could half ass the box art. Since people know that a great game is in here.

It just seems someh and doesint match up to the first boxart. Like i said the first one made it seem like you were apart of something big while this one just seems like they droped a random space soilder with 2 pals to shoot stuff.

Its not a huge deal but...Look at the first game's cover art. Shepard was dead centre and all around him had new alien species we had never seen before, planets in the background, spaceships flying around him, the geth army right on the tails of the heros and to top it all off, Saren looking ominous as possible right overtop the title of the game. This one just has three characters running and gunning with a planet in the background. Kind of a step backwords

See what I am saying, guys?

This is the kind of look I think they were shooting for....only more modern of course. Just the styling itself is what I mean. Very slick indeed, if you ask me.

That's looks god-awful compared to the first imo (the star wars cover-type). Hopefully the LE cover looks better

I_Cant_Wait.

But let's be honest, the box for the first one was pretty.... average at best, nothing worth noting imo. If this truly is the official boxart of ME2 then it falls into the same rating, average at best.

Other than that Mass Effect is my most favorite RPG of all time.

The boxart makes me think they are on a dangerous mission fighting a huge threat because there is a destroyed city.
