The Starcraft 2 Collector’s Edition — Review
If you choose to buy Starcraft 2, however, you may want to decide beforehand which edition of the game you will buy.
Starcraft 2 currently comes in both a standard and a collector’s edition. The collector’s edition generally costs about $60 more than the standard edition. Is it worth it? Let’s take a look.
The Starcraft II Collector’s Edition itself is very impressive, and includes:
- The full version of the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty game on DVD-ROM.
- A full-color, 176-page art book. Here you’ll get to see glossy pictures of all of the characters, technology and environments that you will experience in the game.
- You’ll also receive a limited edition prequel comic book to the upcoming Starcraft comic series, too.
- There’s also a behind-the-scenes DVD that will take you inside the development of Starcraft 2.
- For your listening pleasure, there’s a soundtrack CD with the full 14-track from the game included.
- There’s also a 2GB USB flash drive that is a visual replica of hero Jim Raynor’s dog tags. In the flash drive you will find both the original Starcraft game, as well as the Brood War expansion.
- World of Warcraft players will be happy to know that they’ll get an in-game Thor pet that can be used by all WoW characters on the buyer’s Battle.net account.
- Finally, there’s other Battle.net content included as well, such as special profile pictures, decals that you can use on your in-game units, and two guest passes for your friends to play Starcraft and World of Warcraft.

Customer’s Reviews…
I played the beta, pre-ordered the game, and have been playing it non-stop since release.
In short, this is my game of 2010, and probably the best game I’ve played in the last few years.
The single player campaign is well-crafted, with every single map introducing a new unit type and very unique objectives. It’s slick, polished, compelling, and offers tons of replay value with a nice set of mission-specific achievements.
The multiplayer is deep, addictive, and nuanced, and includes an excellent league system that makes every match you play relevant and exciting.
I have had absolutely zero technical problems, and the game looks great and runs great across the board.
This is one of about four games I’ve ever played that I would give a perfect rating. I’m looking forward to the second game in the trilogy and I’m certain I’ll still be playing the multiplayer when it’s finally released.
