Vanquish (SteelBook Edition)

PlatinumGames in a metal case. That's really all you need to know. The Vanquish SteelBook Edition for Xbox 360 replaces the standard plastic case with a SteelBook, giving one of the generation's most stylish shooters the premium housing it deserves.

SteelBooks from the 360 era occupy a special place in collecting. They were produced in smaller quantities, distributed through specific retailers or regions, and they've held up remarkably well as display pieces. Vanquish's sleek sci-fi aesthetic translates naturally to the metallic finish of a SteelBook, and the result is a case that looks right at home among the best-presented games in any 360 collection.

This is a different beast from the lenticular edition and the figurine-bundled Limited Edition, giving Vanquish collectors three distinct variants to chase on a single console. The SteelBook is the most understated of the three, but sometimes understated is exactly what a shelf needs. Clean lines, metallic sheen, and a game that still plays like nothing else. For SteelBook collectors working through the 360 library, Vanquish is one of those titles where the case quality matches the game quality, and that alignment doesn't happen as often as we'd like.
