this was a gift from a friend, he was so happy with it he hug and kissed me!
When I first played BIOSHOCK. I fell in love. It is my favorite video game ever hands down. The 2K team payed attention to everything, the lighting the score, the art. Top notch all the way around. So when they finally opened up the Bioshock 2 pre -orders i made mine. The SE edition is necessary for anyone who loves Rapture and the world of Bioshock. They did something similar with Bioshock one's SE and I kick my self for not getting the Upgrade for that title. So I didnt skimp this time when I saw what I was getting. It got here on time and it is amazing. From the moment you open the hard bound case to protect your SE of Bioshock 2. To the stunning score and art book. The posters are nice and will be hanging on my wall before to long. Any true bioshock fan will love this. Recommend purchasing before they disappear. They only made so many just like Bioshock 1.
The game is amazing. No its not as pretty as Uncharted, but then again Bioshock ht the shelves in 2006/2007. You cant overhaul the whole game for 2 with out losing what people loved so much in the first. 2k polished the 2nd installment and it is just as good as one. You will be hooked in rapture again in no time. I am going on 16 hours of play and havent finished yet because i am continuously searching and taking in the environment looking out the portholes to the wold outside.
Great game. Get yours now.
Just got my Special Edition from Amazon this morning. I am reviewing the Special Edition content more than the game. It arrived on the release date ahead of the estimated delivery date. Everything in this special edition is top quality and really stands out. The box is very sturdy and is printed very nicely. Upon opening everything up it all was in perfect condition. This was all put together and handled with care.
I am Rapture and Rapture is Me - Bioshock Score 12" LP
Slick gloss paper sleeve and a protective paper sleeve around the record also. This has the score to the first Bioshock game. My only complaint comes with the LP. I wish there was an mp3 download code for it. Small gripe but not everyone has record players.
Sounds From the LightHouse - Bioshock 2 Score CD
A very nice extension and evolution of the original score. CD come in a flat paper sleeve very similar to the sleeve for the 12" LP
Deco Devolution - Art Book
This was my main desire for getting the special edition. I was not disappointed. This thing is full of very cool stuff. It covers a pretty wide spectrum of art. Character Designs, environment designs, storyboards, Rapture posters and a bunch more. This book rocks. So much better than the little 5 inch books some games have put out.
3 Posters from Rapture
Printed on a very nice quality paper. They all looked great. I just need to flatten them all out from being rolled up and frame them.
Bioshock 2 - The game
To this I wont speak much. Others will review the game content far better than I could. But so far I have enjoyed the sequel.
Considering this is only $30 more than the regular edition, it feels like a steal.
"Its everything you could want, and more. Definitely a must buy for any fan of the franchise."
