Hey fellow game collector's. I pre-order and picked up Batman Arkham City Collector's Edition from Game Stop on Tuesday. The game play is fantastic, it's a good improvement from Batman: Arkham Asylum. During the game you start off as Bruce Wayne, then turn into Batman, then you play a few levels of Catwoman. This is just for starters as I have yet to complete the game, but it will take a while with all the side missions and Riddler Trophies. The map is huge!! A great improvement is you start with some pretty cool items, you can take down more than one enemy at a time now, and you can counter on more than one person. Catwoman is fast moving and quite fun to play as.
Now on to the Unveiling, the Xbox 360 and PS3 both come with a Batman Statue in his crouch or pounce position, the statue is great and very well designed. When you open the box it folds out and you have the city at your hands as it looks (yes there will be pictures posted). On the back side of the opened case is where you find the art book and your instructions, one in English and of course one in Spanish, also it comes with a Batman Arkham City Catalog. But in the back of the art book is the game disc. Then in the front you have this drawer where all the bonus material is. The first item(s) are three code redeems 1. Play As Catwoman Download, 2. Batman: The Dark Knight Rises Skin 3. Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map. Then the next thing is a Beta test for Gotham City Imposters, then there is a Collector's Edition Exclusive for Batman Arkham City The Album. The Final Item and most confusing one at that: Batman Gotham Knights it says on the back of the Game Box its supposed to be Blu-Ray but I think it is a misprint as mine comes with a DVD (ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM FOR XBOX 360 Version LET ME KNOW!) honestly I think it's supposed to be the DVD because Xbox as we know doesn't support Blu-Ray Discs. But I guess there are some other issues. But I emailed the appropriate people to see if this problem will be fixed. Although I think it's kind of unique and cool to have an error.
Also I bought the hardcover Limited Edition Strategy Guide. I have the Batman Cover and there is a Catwoman cover out there. It comes with litographs. This guide is pretty cool.
Now here are the pictures.

Thanks for the post Nick. My wife's been eager to get a copy of this, so at least she'll get to see exactly what it looks like now.

I hate you Shadow ![Wink](http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/Smileys/RFG/wink.gif)

Your welcome Shadow and Thank You. Hope this makes the front page of the site lol. If she's eager hopefully she finds one at a good price. The only way I was able to afford this was pay it off when I had the money. But granted a $100.00 price tag isn't overly bad.
|
Also when I pre-ordered at Game Stop you get three codes one is useless unless you have a UStream Account where you can basically get the digital code for Gotham Knights. But the two other codes are awesome! One is a Power Up Rewards Exclusive - Batman Animated Series Suit to be used in the game and the other is Xbox 360 Exclusive Joker's Carnival Challenge code.
|
We had planned to pick this up at the local midnight release, but after hearing about the Catwoman/Online Pass junk I decided not to grab it. Looks like a pretty sweet special edition set though.
|
I REALLY want this game, probably my most anticipated game of this year, but you need a code for Catwoman? How does that work? Do certain copies come with it?
|
@blcklblskt: The collector's edition comes with the code. Also you can purchase it from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
|
All new copies should come with the code. Its something that is supposed to deter second hand sales of the game.
|
Ooohhh, that's really annoying. I read up about it, and it turns out that it was Warner Bros's decision to put that in. So I will end up buying the game because I like Rock Steady so much, just not full price.
