Mass Effect 2 cover shows people of action |

EA and BioWare have released the official box art for their upcoming second game in the Mass Effect trilogy. It’s still over six months until the game’s release so it’s a bit odd that finalized artwork is already being sent out — we don’t usually see them until just a month or two before launch — but, like BioWare has advertised on the occasions they’ve talked about the game, the cover art seems to reflect the much darker tone that Mass Effect 2 is going for. The mean looks, drawn guns and war-torn backdrop shows these guys, none of whom clearly believe in wearing helmets in a battle situation (it would mess up her do!), are there to take names.

easily the worst box art for a AAA-title since Halo 3.

It does look a bit dated. Six months down the line I’m willing to bet it looks much different.

TERRIBLE. The first one had much better box art. And it makes the game look like some kind of crappy halo, gears of war clone.

That’s the best box art I’ve seen for this kind of game in a while. Reminds me of old sci-fi paperbacks and the first Star Wars posters. Only complaint I have is that Shepard doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of it. I get the feeling it might have looked more cohesive at some point, and some idiot though Shepard didn’t look badass enough. So he looks all serious and grim like he came in off an action movie poster.
