If you know me, then you know my unhealthy obsession with collector's editions of video games. And my historic immersion in all things superheroes. So obviously I was going to use my income on the Injustice: Gods Among Us Collector's Edition. Was it worth the $100? Let's find out!
To start with:
Not super cool packaging. It's a big box. No window panels. Just a blown up image of the game's box art. Beyond that? It's a large black box underneath the slide-on wrapping.
Inside that plain black box comes all of these fun things!
The real gem of this edition is the 13" statue of Wonder Woman about to throw down (literally) on Bats.
You have to add two below pieces to the ship (which I read is supposed to be Superman's childhood rocket), and then it forms the crazy battle scene above.
The comic is vastly disappointing in its lack of girth. Was I the only one that initially thought this was supposed to be a collection of the Injustice series? Those promotional pictures seem to give it some thickness. (Heyo...) Instead it's merely the first issue. While that's a nice consolation prize, I really wanted more.
And obviously the actual game is included. The case comes stuffed with a DLC code for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman skins from the New 52 line-up. Also a redeemable digital copy of the DC Animated movie Justice League: Doom. (Which is a pretty damn fun pummel-fest.)
While I'm fine with having bought this edition, what happened to THIS VERSION? (Judging by the age rating on the bottom left, it's a foreign edition.)
That sorta looks WAY cooler. JOEY WANT!
The Verdict:
This set will run you $99.99 and has a limited run. While it didn't meet all of my lofty expectations, it's worth it for fans of DC Comics and their wares. (And for fans of pummeling.)
Nerdd Judgement rendered. I AM DA LAW!
