The box comes with the game, a dogtag, a t-shirt, the soundtrack, original concept art, and a lenticular motion card.
Nevermind the fact that the shirt is compressed into a damn circle! It's squeezed down into a circular RDF logo package, it's insane. Though, getting the creases out was a pain, but once I did, it's a pretty nice shirt, although it's gigantic.
Out of curiousity, what number dog tag did you get? Mine's 12843.

Heh. Mine is 15339. I hope my shirt will be ok soon. It was cool looking how they packaged it, but yes, it is a pain. For those who don't have the game, my suggestion is that if you can still find the box set and you haven't gotten it, buy it. I think it is well worth it, since it's only about $30. I'm having a lot of fun with the game. I haven't tried the versus yet, but a friend of mine who has the game said it's pretty good. If you can't find the box set, you may still want to look into the game. Especially if you are a fan of Robotech. I don't know how receptive Macross fans will be to it, but I'm a fan of both and I like the game.

Right. This game is a Robotech game, and people who don't like Robotech will not be swayed. This is not a Macross game thinly disguised as Robotech. This production was planned based on the storyline created for the Robotech series, and I can't see it making new fans out of Macross purists who see Robotech as a bastardization of 3 series. For me, it's something I grew up with and I loved as a kid, and still love.
They went a long way for fans of the show, getting back all the original voices, and making a new story that fits within the general plot. It's kind of unique because I can't see a Japanese game ever catering to Robotech fans this much... of course, Japanese games haven't seemed to cater to Macross fans very much either, because most of them sucked. The new one looks cool, though.
Regardless, for people like me who loved Robotech, the game's great, and the collector's box makes it even cooler. It's not the best game I've ever played, but I'd hardly call it dull.

I wouldn't call it a dull game, but it's far from the most fun I've ever had playing a game. The game is nice looking, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the levels are extremely unbalanced.
I could wiz through the first several levels, and then out of nowhere I'm stuck on some damn level forever, because some stupid arena with people in it(or dome?)keeps exploding and then game over.
The difficulty doesn't gradually ramp up over a few levels. The difficulty sky rockets after a few levels. I know I'm not alone, as this was one of the main gripes about the game in several reviews I read. but, I bought the game anyway.
