This is really a joke of a special edition...

But I'd have to go with the Doctor. The harlequin just looks so damn stupid.

Doctor. The harley is too much like a regular ole jack in the box. The doctor has that nice charming assassins creed feel to it.

What's hard to understand about 2 single player maps? The game does have a single player campaign.

@Hoops Lmao I know , I caught that too . Single player maps sound awesome , who better to play with than yourself , right ? I don't know if I'm interested in this game enough to justify 100 bucks , but that's a nice set they got here .

My bad, thought you were "what?"-ing about single player in this game in general. Who doesn't find running around a map with lots of other NPCs and no other players to assassinate interesting?

Wait, looking at the bundle, it looks like the '2 exclusive single player maps' are actual paper maps? Misleading.

No word on them giving this side of the pond's collector's box both extra characters?

Classic Ubi in the west-- no truly complete edition. We'll eventually get access to everything as DLC, but not separately. They'll just release a single DLC bundle including all bonus content in one purchase. I'm not sure if buying the CE is worth that BS again.

@ hoops , the map of rome is paper . @ EncodedNybble , I'm sure they would have said single player missions if the meant that , single player maps is obviously a typo for multiplayer maps .

@MBP

I wouldn't say it was an obvious typo, because maybe the typo could have been for single player missions? ;) But yeah they probably meant MP maps as the map names sound like map names not mission names.

@MBP Not a typo.

• Two Exclusive In-Game Single Player Maps: Extend your game as the legendary Master Assassin, Ezio, and explore the undiscovered depths of Rome.

Straight from Ubi.

An extra $40 for two added single-player maps, not worth it (the other s*** doesn't interest me at all).

Then buy the regular game and pay for the DLC that will include those maps (probably).

A jack in the box? Really? I'm much happier with the Ezio figurine that came with AC2's Collectors Edition.

I disagree. This is much cooler than a GI Joe. It's a conversation piece, like the Pip boy clock (quality aside).

It's also pretty dark. I love it.

But it's not a "GI JOE" it's a statue.

I don't know about y'all, but all I want from my Collector's Editions is a soundtrack and a concept art hardcover book. I don't need shit gathering dust in my house.

Oh, and this is a useless special edition. And I ALWAYS buy special editions. Such as MW2, Halo Reach, AC2, Batman: AA, God of War 3, and GTA4. So, yeah, if I say it's bad, trust me, it's bad.

I don't like exclusive in-game content for special buyers. It's like a deleted scene from a movie, only for people who pay twice the ticket price.

The game should be complete, as a work of art and as a concept, for all players, in my opinion. I know a lot of people disagree with that.

I think swag like this box make a better pre-order or special edition. Exclusive special stuff that doesn't affect anything in the actual game.

I've yet to see a 100 bucks CE justify itself and I find this to be no different. Is the jack in the box even that, like is there a spring to it?

The worst collector editions are the ones that come with toys...I'd much rather have a truly exclusive in-game item that gives me an edge or at least some added joy that won't be available for purchase 3 weeks later...but I'm sure I'm the only one...

I'm assuming the single player maps will eventually be DLC and the soundtrack I can probably find somewhere, so I think I'll just get the regular version. The other stuff will keep my attention for probably just that week.

I'm gonna wait to know more about AC3 I guess. Somehow, this game doesn't really excite me. Must be the recycled environs, or the whole multiplayer thing... I loved my AC being a strong single player game.
