I picked up my Collector's Edition today.
First off, the toy Plasma Cutter it came with is badass. I'll post pics tomorrow; promise.
As far as the game goes, it's just fabulous. It's improved on a lot of aspects; when you buy a new suit, the old one is stored, so you can switch between suits you've bought without paying again.
The gameplay is just as fast and frantic as last time. Probably even more, with the new necromorphs to deal with. Very minor spoiler:

The stalkers are the most terrifying enemy I've ever played against in a videogame. I almost crapped myself when there were five peeking around walls and cover in a hallway. |
The little blue line you follow has been improved, since you can switch from objective, to the closest save point, store, or workbench.
So far, the only problem I have with it is it gets too dark too often. I like being plunged into terrifying darkness, but not for 75% of the game.
I haven't beaten it yet (making myself stick at a pace), but so far, I'd give it a 9.5; only took off points for too much dark.
