Stunning !!!

This book clearly shows just how much time, energy, passion & love went into creating the entire world of Halo. The creation of the art work is simply stunning, if you enjoy glorious colour & unbelievable creative spirits, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of this book. Then as a added treat, check out on-line some of the HD trailers which are available, if your able, try to get copies on DVD & watch them on a large screen TV in full HD mode ... check your heart rate before & after ... if you don't have goose bumps & want to run out & buy a Xbox 360 & Halo 2 or 3 ... you may want to check your pulse. 5 stars out of 5 stars ... easy.

The Art of Halo

This has great artwork from the Halo Game Series. Very crisp and detailed - all on glossy print paper.

Very cool for a Halo fan!

Bought it for my son who loves Halo...it was a big hit!

Beautiful Book, Great Buy

Even someone who isn't a dedicated/hardcore fan of the Halo series can appreciate the beautiful art and all the work that went into designing this game. Worth every penny.

Incredible Art

This has to be one of the most fascinating and amazing collections of artwork I've ever seen... and it's from a videogame! The artwork produced by Bungie is nothing if not spectacular. The artistry, imagination, and dedication needed to bring those ideas to life in a game is beyond what one would expect from a game. Halo is truly a work of art in itself. The look into character development and design is something a gamer doesn't always get to see. This will make them appreciate the amazing work that Bungie does even more.
