Special Edition - Assassins Creed 2 (White Edition)

A touch bare-bones for the price tag, this Game exclusive contains only two bonus goodies as an incentive for picking this Special Edition up.

The most prominent bonus is an 8.5 inch statue of Ezio, the title's central character, in a striking pose that makes a nice addition to the collection of anyone who values such items.  As befits the title of the edition, the hood of the figure's garb and a greater part of his shirt is a striking white, which is the only means of distinguishing between this version and that of the Black Special Edition statue.

The in-game content is a single unlockable mission set within the 'Santa Maria Dei Frari' church located within Venice.  Located within is a new Templar lair for exploration, featuring a number of puzzles and enemies to defeat.

Nota Bene: This content has since been released in both the rereleased GotY Edition and as part of the 'Sequnce 13: Bonfire of the Vanities' DLC.

Overall, a lacklustre attempt to create Special Editions with minimal effort and amount of content.  A shame.
