    The artbook is beautiful and the other art piece is well done as well. The game is a Pretty solid open world rpg. Soundtrack on the usb drive is nice if you are into soundtracks. Downside is the wii u cant read it on the usb drive. It would have been better imo if the hardrive was larger and contained the downloadable patches that are optional but really make the game much better. Since the wii u harddrive is pretty small to start that would have been a welcome addition. But overall is a nice piece to put in ones collection.

    This is a game with a huge and beautiful world to explore, though it's easy to get lost in side missions and can be overwhelming at times, it's a worthy addition to the franchise. The artwork book included is stunning.

    Amazing game and Special Edition

    This Special Edition is awesome! Was hard to find. The USB stick is cool as well as the book. My only real issue is the soundtrack DRM. Not everyone has Windows or a computer. Not being able to transfer the tracks to music collection programs like iTunes or Windows Media Player. Instead, you have to start a third party DRM program to even access and play the music. The game itself is one of the best to get a Wii I for. Amazing world and free-roaming. You can easily spend hours on end and still not be far in the main story.

    This is by far the best RPG I have played in a long time. It throws a lot at the player in the first 10 hours, but stick with it. You will figure it out (or look online or buy the guide book) and then the open world gameplay is amazing. I played Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii. If that game was appealing to you, or you liked it buy this game now!! If you like RPGs and own a Wii U, buy this game now!!!

    This is not an easy game to learn. It is massive and there are a lot of systems. But once you get into it, especially once you get your skell it really opens up. The star of this game is the environment. Make no mistake this is not a graphically good game. The textures suck and the character models look like they were made on the gamecube/wii. But the art direction is amazing. You will find yourself trying to get to the highest point on foot just to take in the view.

    I heard this game would be awesome, so I went all in for it. I'm so glad I did. The game is incredible and gives the player so much to do. The special edition is well worth it to get the extras.

    While a slow game from the start and a pretty lackluster story. The game's pace picks up rather quickly and becomes rather enjoyable half way through. Persistence is key to reach that point of the game.

    A little overpriced but still good

    The special edition has an artbook, USB drive with soundtrack, reversible cover for game, and lithograph with a certificate of authenticity. The lithograph is great looking, the cover is nice. But the USB drive does not include all of the songs and has DRM issues, which is lame, but it has some nice heft and looks great. The artbook is nice, but feels a little lower in quality thann you would expect. It's also $10 overpriced, it should be $80 instead to be honest. But it's still ok.

    The bundle is about 11" wide: 8" high: and about 1-1/2" thick. The game is so immersive! Some little missions and side quests can be a bit forced but it's all for the sake of exploration/fun of the huge game. The fact that it will take more than 100 hours to beat this game is very pleasing for people that like to spend their time on great games.

    This is a really great title. It proves that Nintendo can still be competitive in the console market, however, the biggest issue with this game is that it's on the Wii U console. Now, there isn't anything wrong with the Wii U console, it's just, not a lot of people own one. It's a real shame that this title will go unnoticed by the majority because of struggles the Wii U has been faced with over the past few years. I really hope Nintendo knocks their next console out of the park, for their sake, they need it.
