To try and keep this review as short and consumable as possible I'm just going to touch on broader points on both the game and Hero edition!
First, the Game: It's inFAMOUS, the formula is exactly the same and you shouldn't expect anything new of great substance. That said, everything has been refined to the teeth. The visuals are just beautiful, the environments actually feel lively compared to the first one. The mechanics, while still suffering from some stickiness, are much more fluid and will lend to some awesome moments in the heat of battle. Even the story and the way it's presented has been largely overhauled! It may still be a super hero comic book story, but it's so much better that it belongs more in the Batman: Arkham Asylum pool than elsewhere. Though the characters aren't anything special you will certainly grow fond of them in the same way you would any other super hero. Trust me, if you think this game's Good ending will tug at your heart strings then prepare your hankies for the Evil ending. The only minor thing that didn't quite pan out is the User-Generated content. While there was some quality to be had, the general takeaway should be that they're good for farming experience and not much else. Overall, inFAMOUS 2 is everything good about inFAMOUS with very little of the bad left at all. As someone who platinumed the game (something I rarely do) already I cannot recommend it enough.
Second, the Hero Edition: I've got to say that I actually really liked this collector's edition. Unlike most of my big CE purchases I didn't have much buyer's remorse, in large thanks to the content provided. The skins for your character/AMP are cool and give you a nice alternative to your hero's default outfit. The soundtrack is also appreciated, even coming with some of the better tracks from the game. Then there's the statue; big love for this thing! Doesn't feel cheap and is definitely closer to Halo: Reach Noble Statue than something like, say, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Jack-in-Box. Hell, even the free sling sack that comes with it is nifty for carrying smaller items like an iPad plus some games. And for those worrying about a GTA IV duffle bag repeat, don't worry. The quality difference is huge and I doubt this thing will crap out on you like that GTA IV duffle bag did. The only thing I was slightly disappointed by was the comic. I envisioned something along the lines of StarCraft: Wings of Liberty comic add-in, but unfortunately got a little manual sized pamphlet with a teaser of the genuine comic run. While it did pique my interests in the comics, itself wasn't much of anything. Overall, the Hero edition was a solid package and if CE's are your bread and butter then this is for you!
I bought the collector's edition primarily for the backpack it comes with (and also for the great game, of course!), and it definitely did not disappoint! :D
The backpack is great, sturdy, holds more stuff than I'd originally imagined, and just looks really cool. I use it with my motorcycle or when I'm out and about and want to pack light without having to use my normal school backpack. It also impressed my girlfriend on our first date ;)
As for the rest of the stuff, the statue is cool. I have it next to my Uncharted 3 Collector's Edition statue, which is about the same size. The game is fantastic, but I'm sure most people looking up this game already somewhat assumes that. I didn't read the comic book that came with it, but it's a cool extra. The DLC is cool, and the game's soundtrack is really unique and fun to listen to.
BEWARE: If you want the DLC then make sure to BUY NEW! If you buy a used collector's edition, then chances are the previous owner already claimed the DLC, so you won't be able to claim it for yourself. I only wanted the backpack so the DLC didn't matter to me, but if it's a big deal to you then make sure to buy new.
