All it needs is a dragon and it might as well be the cover for an Alisia Dragon sequel hehe. Shes wearing about enough armour to be Alisia anyhow.

What do i care, my shepherd was female and if i could she'd wear swimwear for the entire game as long as my armour stats remained decent. Tensile skin ftw.

agree with Wido, the game will be awesome and I cannot wait to play it, but I do hope the UK boxart will be a little bit better looking, this looks like it was drawn up in the 80's with macho bulls**t at the forefront of the designers mind!

Mass Effect is brilliant. So I don't care what Mass Effect 2 box art is going to look like. I know I'm getting the game, because I want to know more about this Shepard lark!

LMAO, yeah forgot about the older people. So many times when I was younger I ended up with a *****model because the front looked good.

Thats very true i think adults/parents will buy a game not by the price but the appearance of the box art. If it seems friendly then it obviously has approval and most likely is a crap game, fortunetly Little Big Planet has the friendly vibe yet it isnt a crap game quite the opposite infact.

Whereas, GTA4 isn't the most welcoming for a concerned parent, what with the name being Grand Theft Auto and images of gangsters and a possible prostitute oh yea and the big red BBFC 18 rating.

On the other hand the box art can contribute to a sale if it looks amazing and portraits the game on the front cover...like GTA4 for instance!

For me the box art for Mass Efect 2 looks too generic and therefore the gameplay could be a 2nd hand job in the sense that the gameplay is the exact same as the first, not saying it is but thats what i'm feeling from just the box art.

+ the huge moon or planet thats extremely close to them in the background (maybe too close) gives it a star warsy feel and i dont really like to see other games trying to be something its not...like Dark Sector with its all too familiar running.
