Assassin's II gets £69 Collector's Edition

With figurine, soundtrack, book and in-game bonus quests
Details on Assassin's Creed II's Collector's Edition have emerged, via UK e-tailer Play.com.

The £69 'Black Edition' is set to include a rare Ezio figurine, "Conspiracy Book", soundtrack, behind-the-scenes videos and three in-game bonus quests.

Not bad as far as collector's editions go, and definitely better than Modern Warfare 2's $79 poster pack.

Sounds good. I can't resist, I would buy this just for the extra quests.

Whats wrong with you people!!
Assasins creed 1 was shit and this will be too
showing you some good videos like they did before, the creaters are treating you like muppets again.

im still recovering from buying the limited edition set for the first AWFUL AWFUL game.

Its the only game i only played for an hour before turning of in complete disgust :evil:


i think most people felt the same way - im sure this game will flop hard
:wink:

The first game was fantastic, and i'm very much looking forward to finishing this.
Posted by dark_gamer
I don't know where you've got that idea from because apart from a few minor setbacks a lot of people have enjoyed it as far as I can tell, and it sold loads.

Add the fact that the sequel looks even better and the developers have said they've addressed a lot of the issues players had with the first one this is sure to be an absolutetly amazing game.

And this limited edition is pretty damn good especially considering we usually only get a making of DVD and a steel case most of the time :wink:

For that dosh I'd want a real assasin packaged with it.

didn't Jesper Kyd do the music for the hitman games
Posted by mqblank
Yes, I'm sure Ubisoft are making a sound financial decision making a sequel to a game that was apparantly hated so much! If you'd have played the game for more than an alleged hour (I bet 20mins) you might have discovered that it had a fantastic living world and some excellent missions. Yes it had some repetitive missions and some daft AI but on the whole an excellent game!

69 squid? Don't these people know, there's a recession on!?

Yep. He's a Danish composer who also carried out a lot of work on the demoscene during a 10 year span referred to as "The Party". I didn't play the first two "Hitman" games yet I thoroughly enjoyed "Hitman: Blood Money".

As for AC2. Hm. It looks gorgeous as expected, yet after the massive amounts of complaints ranging from the technical to boredom (which is somewhat subjective,) I'm unsure as to whether I want this game or not. Guess that means no pre-order and certainly no spending of 69.00 quid on the CE, tempting as it is.

this site explains the price like its ok to pay such money for a game and a few bits and peices! get real cvg! this site gets worse every week.

If you don't like it, then exercise your ultimate right as a consumer:

Do not buy it.
Posted by The_KFD_Case
Sold for...erh...nothing!

70 squid? no ta. I have to buy food.
Posted by hautecouture
actually the game was not critically acclaimed. only the poorly written kiddy mags gave it a good rating

and the only reason they are going ahead with the sequel is because of the above average sales

games(TM) 4/10
Play UK 58%

and edge (the industry bible) gave it a bad review also
