Much has already been said about how incredibly awesome this game is! The high ratings from the "professional" reviewers are no lie--Bioshock Infinite is everything Ken Levine and his team at Irrational set out to create, and everything us fans have hoped for. From the fantastic setting and incredible story to the fast/furious gunplay and action-packed sequences, Infinite is as good (perhaps even better) than the original Bioshock. The interplay between Booker and Elizabeth is entertaining on many levels--not only is she helpful in battle, but there's also a satisfaction in witnessing her sense of wonder as she explores and enjoys her new-found freedom. While the Vigors are basically the same good old plasmids with new names and Booker oddly seems to "trip" on things laying on the ground in the environment, there is little to be critical of in this incredible masterpiece of video gaming.

As for this particular edition, the PS3 Premium Edition includes:

1) The game (Move Compatible, if you care)

2) The original Bioshock on disc (an odd addition, since most fans would already own it anyway...I gave my original copy to my nephew)

3) 4X6 Lithograph (mine is an advertisement for the Devil's Kiss Vigor, don't know if they are all the same)

4) Murder of Crows Vigor bottle keychain (I particularly liked this item, very cool keychain)

5) Handyman Gameboard Piece (the only disappointing item...very small, blue, cheap plastic thing)

6) The Art of Bioshock Infinite (VERY nice hard-backed mini-art book, beautiful artwork, very impressed with this item)

7) Bioshock Infinite Soundtrack (a code to download the soundtrack from their website)

8) Upgrade Pack Code (Bull Rsh, Extra! Extra! and Betrayer Power Ups)

9) PS3 Theme Code (decorate your PS3 home screen)

For only twenty dollars more than the standard edition, I felt like the Premium Edition was totally worth it. I highly recommend it and I would totally purchase a premium edition from Irrational again in the future.

UPDATE

Finished the game a few days ago, and I still think this game is amazing! The gameplay is very much like the previous Bioshock installments, although the gunplay has a much more intense first-person shooter feel, particularly over the original. These are in no way negative criticsms, however! Where the game truly shines is the engrossing and thought-provoking story, which has sparked smart discussions and debates amongst gamers--how often does that happen?! My other favorite aspect of the game continues to be the relationship between Booker and Elizabeth, which is one of the best-written video game partnerships ever. If you are still holding off picking up Bioshock Infinite, I highly recommend grabbing a copy and start playing!

I have enjoyed the BioShock series, and was interested when Infinite was announced.

A New City in the sky? 1912 American themes? New character interaction? I decided to pre-order the Premium Edition and that's what this review will focus most on, because there are tons of other reviews about how great the game is, and don't get me wrong, it is great. Once you start playing, you'll wish it never ends.

Anyway, here we go.

The box itself is pretty unique. Hard cardboard with folding out arms that has some nice artwork on it. It's covered in a plastic sleeve.

* The game itself (Has a cool reversible cover) and includes the original BioShock for installation (12GB)

* Art Book Very cool. Great quality and the artwork is beautiful. Even has that tarnished look/feel to it

* Lithograph Great little quality poster. It's an advertisement of the "Devil's Kiss" vigor that you use in-game

* Murder of Crows Keychain A great keychain of a resin crow vigor bottle. Based off the vigor in-game.

NOTE: On the BioShock Infinite website it said "comes with a sturdy brass keychain" I actually believed it would have been made of brass or metal, but in reality it is a plastic, brass painted keychain. Just beware it doesn't look the sturdiest.

* Handyman figurine A miniature figurine of the Handyman character in-game. It is very small, it could fit on the tip of my index finger. It is used for the upcoming BioShock Infinite Board Game. So if plan on buying that, then this item may be useful to you.

*In-game gear Perks that are used in-game. You get three, but you'll pick up so many others during the game, you may not use the exclusive ones.

*Voucher for PS3 Dynamic Theme Really cool, features the city with confetti falling and crates riding along the skylines.

*Voucher for Soundtrack Download Great music, although the tracks are all listed like this "BioShockInfinite01-Introduction"

Requires some editing if you plan on using it in iTunes. Add the artist, and some album artwork.

That's all there is. For an extra $20, not bad at all. Quite worth it. Get the game, you will love it and wish there was more.

Overall, very pleased with the purchase. Highly recommended!

The game is incredible, I highly recommend. In the future, I would have preferred buying the Ultimate Songbird edition (entirely for the collectible statue) or the basic version. The included things are mostly cool. I like the artbook and the lithograph. The keychain is too nice to actually use. The statuette looks a little cheap. Despite showing a CD in the image, the soundtrack is downloadable mp3, and doesn't include some of the cover songs (like the Barbershop "God Only Knows") that I was hoping for. Most of the CD is original music that plays during gameplay, which is good, but disappointing.

The premium edition comes packed with memorabilia from this game i made the mistake of not getting the special editions of the first two and regret it and didn't make the same mistake the third time.

This is the best game I have ever played. The game has the best story line out of all the games I have played. It will twist your mind and leave you questioned at the end. It has great graphics and the environment around you is where a lot of this game is at. Observing Columbia is one of the best parts in the game. It's such a beautiful world and all the set pieces make your jaw drop in awe. The sound is incredible and you will wait til you have a moment of silence to enjoy the winds of Columbia. Voice acting is great and weapons sound great as well. Using the vigors is awesome and fun and with the weapon selection it keeps combos interesting. You can even create combos with vigors. I know a lot of people say gameplay is bland and boring. I disagree. I usually find gameplay to be pretty fun anyways as it's not to much of a deal breaker for me. This game is meant to be played more than once. You will understand things better in your second playthrough and the game will make more sense. It really question you throughout your first time playing and there are a lot of wtf moments. Overall, this is an amazing game! Everything is amazing and the story will leave you in questions at the end and you will probably want to play it again.This to me is one one the best games that has ever came out. It's a masterpiece in gaming.
