content auto translated from {from}

Good day.

As promised, the collector's edition of the game was released on June 11. Was it worth the wait? What quality of execution can we expect? Leave all those questions aside - I present to you a review of the collector's edition of the game "Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands."

----------------------------------------------------------

So, what was promised:

• DVD disc with the game

• Bonus DVD with soundtrack, wallpapers, screensaver, trailers, and artwork

• Game manual brochure

• Key to access the Arena and exclusive skin

• Three 3D postcards, measuring 13x17

• Unique collectible functional hourglass styled after the game

Let's go through the materials step by step

Collector's box

A rather colorful box; the back provides detailed information about its contents. It doesn’t show signs of wear, unlike another collector's edition of the game published by Akella.

Hourglass

I must admit, the main item of the collector's edition is executed truly at a high level. Many debated that the game’s style isn’t present in them. Personally, I find it hard to imagine how this "style" should look - there is sand, the Prince is there. Yes, it's hard to admit at first, but one of these characters is the Prince. The second, or rather the second character, is a woman, possibly Queen Razia (about her, you can learn from the brochure). The base of the hourglass is made of metal.

3D postcards

Currently, "3D" can be found everywhere; it's not surprising that this innovation has reached art postcards as well. They are done quite beautifully. However, in many descriptions of the collector's edition, we see 4 postcards. Here, there are only 3.

Box with DVD materials.

Inside the box are discs with the game and bonus materials, which are represented by wallpapers, soundtracks, and other stuff. Perhaps, we are more interested in the still unknown Arena and the exclusive skin. What they represent, I will talk about in the upcoming review of the game Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

Conclusion

I purchased the collector's edition for 1999 rubles (that’s, damn, not two bucks). Is it worth the money? I think yes - the exclusive hourglass will look great on your desktop, and the art postcards can be placed on a shelf next to the game box. Stay tuned - soon I will tell you about the game itself. Also, I recommend the review of the movie "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" if you haven’t read it yet.
