Overview of the Collector's Edition of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Assassin's Creed has turned into a Hollywood action movie, and this becomes finally clear after the fresh Brotherhood. Altair had no interest in such side quests as helping girls, flirting, and other amusing things. He chopped down enemies, furrowed his brows, and periodically washed his blade from thick human blood. Replacing the medieval assassin is the Renaissance assassin of Italy - Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The young man is cunning, combative, and quick. Along with these qualities, the main character of the game has also developed various romantic inclinations...

This fact is particularly well expressed in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Ezio barely had the chance to stroll through the family nest when a local acquaintance immediately whisked him off to bed. Following are scenes such that the second part of the series quietly envies. Progress is evident.

But this brief introduction mostly conveys my short emotions from the first half hour of the game. Yes, "Brotherhood" is an excellent action game with all the merits of its predecessors. I will lay out my opinion in a more detailed review of the game itself, but now let's proceed to the analysis of the Russian collector's edition.

Traditionally, I will start my review with a brief story about the collector's editions of Brotherhood released in the West. The Limited Codex Edition of Brotherhood, costing a whopping 3200 hard-earned rubles, has corresponding content: first, it includes the so-called wooden box Renaissance Collector Chest; second, inside it you will find a book bound in leather - Exclusive Codex; third, dedicated fans of the series will be delighted to find cards with character images and a map of Rome; fourth, the publisher has included downloadable content, a soundtrack on a disc, as well as the movie Lineage. Remember, Lineage can also be freely watched on youtube or purchased in Assassin's Creed Director's Cut Edition (original game + movie).


Owners of PlayStation 3 can purchase the **Auditore Edition** for the same price. Essentially, it's the same as the "Codex" edition, but it lacks the wooden box that contained all the contents of the edition. At the same time, it should be noted that a three-dimensional image of Ezio Auditore is applied to the front of the Auditore Edition box.


At 1c-interes, I also recommend paying attention to the gift edition of Brotherhood. The main feature of this DVD box is its stylish case and the presence of a figurine of one of the multiplayer game characters. Order here.

For Americans, by the way, a special collector's version of the new Assassin's Creed was released. In addition to all the usual bonuses (soundtrack, map, DLC for multiplayer), the edition also includes: The Doctor Jack-in-the-Box Collectible or The Harlequin Jack-in-the-Box Collectible. Simply put, this is a box from which, if the plastic key is used as intended, either the Harlequin or the Doctor will jump out in a split second depending on the edition you choose (the doctor for Xbox 360, Harlequin for PS3). Price: up to 100 dollars.


And there is also The Complete Official Guide. A complete guide, walkthroughs, tactics, character descriptions, maps, and much more available for under 25 American dollars.

Finally, let's get to the review of the Russian collector's edition.

"Codex of Altair" bound in leather. It has the structure of a classic block, which can be extremely useful for showing off in front of friends. For example, nothing prevents you from taking this block to classes at the institute.

Serik had no idea he would gather all the assassins at that time.
