Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond--one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins, and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what IGN called "Emotional ties (that) will continue to set the bar in gaming."
Features
- Immersive Story: From BioShock creators Irrational Games comes an all-new chapter of the BioShock story. The year is 1912 and you're Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton agent with his life on the line. His mission: rescue the mysterious Elizabeth from the sky-city Columbia or never leave it alive. But why is everyone so afraid of a young girl?
- A City in the Sky: The BioShock franchise leaves the depths of the ocean to soar among the clouds in the flying city of Columbia. A technological marvel, it's a beautiful and vibrant world that has a very dark secret--a secret that not only threatens the existence of Columbia but could change Booker forever.
- Sky-Lines: Using his Sky-Hook, Booker is able to dish out severe hands-on punishment and traverse the city's hook points and Sky-Lines, turning them into weaponized roller coasters.
- Tears: Your traveling companion Elizabeth is more than just a pretty face--she has the power to open Tears in time and space. Booker can use these Tears to shape the battlefield and turn the tide in combat by pulling cover, weapons, turrets, and other resources out of thin air.
- Vigors: What would a BioShock game be without a variety of devastating powers surging through your body to be unleashed against all that oppose you? From throwing explosive fireballs and lightning to unleashing a murder of crows upon your victims, Vigors let you tailor your play style for maximum effect.
- New Combat Experience: With deadly weapons in one hand and powerful Vigors in the other, you will fight your way through the floating city of Columbia to freedom. All the while you'll be capturing zeppelins to destroy all onboard, riding Sky-Lines to launch devastating aerial attacks, and opening world-changing Tears to gain the advantage. You've never seen combat like this. Weapons, Tears, Vigors, Sky-Lines--every system in the game can be combined for devastating effect.
- 1999 Mode: The player can unlock a secret version of the game called "1999 Mode" that gives experienced players a taste of the kind of design and balance that hardcore gamers enjoyed back in the 20th century.

What more can be said about the "Ultimate Songbird Edition" that hasn't already been said? Really not much, but I'm here to emphasize once again.
Standing at 9.75" tall with a nearly 12" wingspan, this Songbird statue is a sculpting marvel. It's so incredibly detailed and looks daunting from atop a shelf. It comes with it's own special packaging too, giving you the option to keep it mint & pristine or out to spread it's wings for everyone to see.
The art book is beautifully constructed (dusted and made to look worn to exhibit a sense of age) and contains lots of early artwork prototypes for every character, villain and weapons in the final game. Great coffee table piece that will provide much eye candy.
Also included are in game bonuses that give you that extra edge when starting a new game as well as the official Bioshock Infinite Soundtrack, only available with this set. The digital download is a beautifully curated compilation of music that really exemplifies the world of Columbia.
In addition to the above, you also receive a nice little mini Murder of Crows key chain that could be slightly bigger but still a nice touch. All in all, this is the set for true lovers of Bioshock Infinite & prospective lovers alike.

Songbird Edition only for players who want the Songbird figure

If you have played and enjoyed Bioshock and Bioshock 2, then you will enjoy this one just as much. The game is very much Bioshock, only in a new environment. The environment is just as detailed and interesting as the earlier games. I am very satisfied with the game.
The Songbird edition has everything you get in the Premium edition, which costs $79.96, but it also comes with the Songbird resin figure. That makes the resin figure a bit expensive. Is it worth it? I would say, only if you really like the game series and enjoy having a piece of artwork from the game.
The figure snaps together; the wings are not attached in packaging. Since it is resin, it doesn't literally "snap" together, but fits together with a few tabs and slots on the back. It goes together nicely, without noticeable seams. Putting it together gives the figure a larger wingspan. The piece is delicate. I could see the base breaking apart with kids being too rough with it. It is purely a decorative piece; it is not made for kids to play with. The finish is smooth, and it is nicely painted. Colors blend together well; the paint is not blotchy looking.
The game is great, and I am sure there are some very detailed reviews on the page for the "game only" edition. I am only adding info about the unique figure included in this bundle to help people decide if they want to pay $70 for the resin figure.

Awesome collector's edition and one of the best games I ever played!

After waiting since October,it was finally here! and after collecting many collector's edition's,I gotta say this is the best I have ever purchased!
-----------------------------------------
The packaging-The box is about the size of a xbox/ps3 console box,big box!
------------------------------------------
The figure-After collecting alot of figures and figurines from other games and notice that some of them are either made of cheap plastic,or a good PVC with very small paint job error's,but this figure,takes the cake of being on top my display case!the figure has no error of paint job and is made of really great resin and has good weight on it,he comes with his own red box with really nice artwork around it,it is packaged with those plastic strings holding it(was a pain for me to untwist those things)and the wings has some thin foam paper to keep it safe,the wings are detachable and all u gotta do is attrach both the wings together and fit them on the hole in his back,the wing's are very wide so this makes this figure very big in width and pride.
-----------------------------------------
The murder of crows keychain-Comes in a small red retangular box,It's a nice keychain,it mostly made of plastic,along with the keyring(or some type of cheap metal I think)it did replace my old regular keychain.
-----------------------------------------
The lithograph and downloadable soundtrack-just a lithograph is just a lithograph ad of the devil's kiss spell,it comes in a sealed letter along with a paper for the code for the link to the soundtrack download.I just placed it on my wall next to my AC3 flag.
------------------------------------------
The artbook-it's a good art book, 64 page,blue linen cover and has that dirty look to make it look realistic,showing all the original concepts of the character's and stuff.
--------------------------------------------
the handyman figurine-now for the least,it's a figurine of one of the many enemie's you'll fight,and he's the tough one, it's blue and very very small(less then a inch),he comes in a small box about the size of a diamond ring box,there is gonna be a bioshock boardgame(which he was made for) coming soon so I guess i'll just hold on to him.
-------------------------------------------
And now the game,after putting countless hour's into it,I gotta say,this game was amazing,in graphics,story,and twist's! The job of Booker Dewitt saving a girl from an publicly unknown flying city of Columbia becomes much,MUCH more and with twisted dark secret's that soon be discovered!This game is worth the money and time,I really got hooked into and loved every moment of it.This game is a masterpiece of imagination.

And....
Well..
Its pretty.There's no doubt about it. This however is a review of the box content,not the game!
Firstly,the Songbird.
Its glorious.wing spans the length of my laptop screen,all VERY well painted. Its heavy too,so it isnt cheap plastic. Shame it doesnt light up :(
Secondly,The pretty parts.
The art book is beautiful,there's no way around it. The cover itself is made from tissue,and the logo is directly printed into it,having a nice recess in the thing. It might sound stupid,but just holding it feels nice because of the texture. The murder of crows vial is roughly the size a car key,hung up on a keyring chain so you take it with you all the time :D Its well painted too,has a little sticker with the vial picture on it. Its a small detail but its a nice touch. The figure however...is a trap. Its tiny. If you're into wargaming like Warhammer or general modelling products,it stands up barely to an inch tall,made from blue plastic. Its worth a repaint though,because the figure is nicely detailed,its just too tiny which is a shame.
Thirdly,well the rest speaks for itself. You get extra content,a few posters and it all comes in a nice hefty box so none of it will break during transport.
Recommending it for collectors,its worth the price just for the Songbird alone
