Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is back with its new collectors edition - The Ultimate Sith Edition. Essentially, this is the collector's edition that didn't come out last year, coupled with all of the available downloadable content and one brand new exclusive level. For the retail price you'll get the original game, a collector's card, the Jedi Academy, Tatooine and Hoth levels, all of the downloadable skins and a nice tin case to hold it all in. In terms of what you acctually get; the collector's tin is really just the metal case that a lot of other special editions come in, which, while cool and nice, isn't anything new. The collector's card is just a thick piece of paper/card with some nice artwork on it and is hardly worth collecting. In fact, there's a paper leaflet that shows what all of the cards look like, and that's probably enough for almost everyone.

I'd like to just point out that most of this content is also available for the original release of The Force Unleashed. The Jedi Academy level has been out for some time, as have been the downloadable skins. The new Tatooine level will be available as a download as well, leaving Hoth as the only exclusive gameplay element. So while this is also being targeted at existing fans of the game, its ideal customer is someone who didn't pick up the game in the first place and wants everything in one shot.

The game is exactly the same as The Force Unleashed which has already been reviewed so I have just given a brief outline of what you get 'Extra' in the special edition. In terms of the additional content, what you're getting here is an extension of the base game, something that simply adds more content to the experience but doesn't actually change anything. What's sort of nice is that each of the three additional levels are standalone options, so you don't need to play through the game in order to get to them. The downside to this is that none of your powers or anything carry over, nor does anything that you earn carry back into the main game. However, that largely doesn't matter as you start almost fully powered-up for each of these levels anyway.
