So initial thoughts on the CE
If you compare what $100 gets you across the gaming verse this is a huge disappointment.

The packaging is strictly for holding the contents during shipping, and does not add to the value or overall presentation in any way.

The mask. Looks cool (most importantly), but feels like a $5 throw away Halloween decoration. So cheap feeling. To think that this was at least $20 or $30 of the CE pricing is shocking. Still looks cool on the shelf though, but chinsy.

The Art Book. Its not a book. Its a booklet. About the size of a small postcard. High quality though, but small and brief. Feels like being promised tall dark and handsome, and then getting Seth Green. Still awesome, just not at all what you are expecting. Hope they release a real book later.

That's it for physical items. There is a sound track download that i THINK I would really like, but the code does not work, so I will have to wait an see how that turns out.

All the remaining items are digital codes for downloadable content.

In a market place where Blizzard, Halo, GoW collectors are available for the price point this offering is shameful.

With all that said the game is awesome. AWESOME! If you liked the first, you will love this. If you never tried the first wtf is wrong with you! :) I made it to level five before I could not keep my eyes open anymore last night. Very cool came.
 
My Argul's Tomb code has 16 digits instead of the usual 12 which, of course, I cannot enter. Has anyone else encountered this?

I'm finding that most CE are a waste of money. :lecture
 
I've been really surprised by how much I'm loving this game. The first one was ok to me. Nothing special. This one has been fantastic so far and I cant put it down.

Agreed. Just finished the Tears of the Mountain quest and loving the game so far.
 
Finished the game last night. Had a great time with it. Not perfect, but a lot of fun.

8/10

I never played through the first, so I'm going to try it again.
 
Anyone else having problems with this game freezing like crazy? The past couple of nights after playing for an hour or so it's froze up on me, and just now I tried 3 times and it froze up after about 5 seconds each time! It'll take me the whole way through the title screen and into the gameplay, and then freezes! Every other game works fine, that I've tried.

If you really wanted to you could sell it all because they are going for a good amount right now. I collect the collector's editions and I was very impressed with this one

I believe you have to go on the THQ website to register it then get your real code. Just a guess.
 
Yep my copy has frozen about 6 times and sound cuts out too and only comes back after going back to the 360 dashboard. Great game but buggy as hell.

Yah, it's a buggy mess. My friend still I hasn't finished it because it keeps crashing in the same spot at the end. Mine crashed about 6 times too. Too bad. Its an awesome game otherwise.

I don't think the DLC is available yet. Hang on to those codes guys.
How's this compared to the first one?

I personally like 2 way more than 1.
 
Love it but I have had the sound cutting out and game freezing issues as well. Still awesome though and much longer then original.
