Bonus Features

I know when I'm standing in a store and looking at a game, I have to ask myself if the bonus features are worth the extra $10. Let's take a look at the bonus features here and ask the same question.

First of all, aside from a cooler box, you get 10 collectible cards. We aren't talking baseball cards either; we're talking almost as big as the box they come in. These feature some really cool artwork of different vehicles in game. The back of the cards feature a bit about each vehicle, along with technical specs, for those of you who like that kind of thing.

Not only that, but you get a bonus disc with several videos, IM icons, ringtones, and concept art. The videos are E3 trailers, and a bit about the game from those who were responsible for it. To me, the Concept Art is the best part of all of this. It gives players a chance to see the different stages of the game's artistic development, from early sketches to final models. This game I think includes enough to be worth the extra $10, rather than just labeling it collector's edition and sticking it in a new box; they actually added some sustenance to the package worth buying.
