'Halo: The Great Journey - The Art of Building Worlds'

Years ago I got the Art of Halo book that came before this - which i loved. This seemed like a good follow up. It contains almost everything from the previous book and so much more. It's been a while since I've read through it but if memory serves it covers Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and reach. So, basically - the Bungie era. Great annotations, a lot of insight - a nice read. It's so good for reference as well - line drawings, digital paintings - so great. It also features loads of designs for spartan armor - which i think is what most people are interested to see!

My 10 year old son saved up his pocket money for this after seeing it in a shop and spending many hours looking through the artwork. He absolutely loves it, his book is littered with pieces of paper for copying the drawings or using them as inspiration for his own which means he can happily spend hours with this book, a pad of paper and his pencils. For that alone the price is worth it. Although this is probably more about the video game my son was introduced through the Halo Mega Bloks toys, again which spark his imagination in play. It is a pity the video games are rated 15+ really.

a good book for hardened halo fans the pics and info are great.

A really nicely presented book with a lot of art wrok pictures from across the Halo universe of games. Some nice concept designs through to design development and final art from the bungie days to the current 343 artists. Could do with more writing in explaining more about the process but thats just picking faults. A good start for anyone interesting in games design and this book will stay on my reference shelf for some time to come. Highly recommend it.

Had some scuff marks on the back of the book, otherwise great

An absolute must for ALL fans of the series - the book is heavily focused on the trilogy developed by Bungie as opposed to the newer stuff. I wouldn't be wrong in saying that the artstyle and just general presentation of the series at it's best was definitely during this time-frame. Highly recommend checking it out for the sake of another awesome piece to the collection.

I am a big Halo fan and in my opinion this is the best concept art book i have ever read, it contains concept art from all the games and all the pictures are of high quality and to be frank are absolutely stunning. Most photos are usually accompanied by a piece of text describing what the concept art is for and there are also pages dedicated to the transformation from concept art into the finished product in the game. It is a great book to have a look at even if you are not a halo fan.

This book is AWESOME! I got because my boyfriend got me into Halo and I am an artist. This book is great for amazing art and shot and concepts of things in the game! Doesn’t have the crap for halo 5 so yeah I’d defiantly buy it again!

Le compré este libro a mi prometido como regalo de Navidad 🎄, ya que es su videojuego favorito 🎮. Estaba realmente emocionado y feliz cuando vio la portada 📚. El paquete llegó rápido, bien cuidado y en perfectas condiciones. Además, el libro es de gran tamaño y está en inglés, lo que lo hace aún más especial para los fans de Halo. ¡Un regalo ideal para cualquier fanático de la saga! 😊

Also ich habe dieses Buch mit geteilter Meinung gekauft da einige sagten "spar dir das geld so gut ist es nicht" und andere wiederrum "Die zeichnungen sind so Wahnsinn, dass es ein MUSS für jeden Halo Fan ist." Also hab ich es mir letzendlich gekauft. Die Zeichnungen sind wikrlich der absolute Hammer. Es ist detalliert und wenn ich das richtig gesehn habe, dann sind einzelne Teile von Halo 1 wie zum Beispiel die Kammer in der der Master Chief aus der Kryo erwacht ( unteres Bild ist von Halo 1 und das obere Bild sieht aus wie die gezeichnete Version für Halo Combat envolved Anniversary) gezeichnet. Ebenso der schweigende Karthograf ist meines Errachtens nach gezeichnet und nicht gerade schlecht. Dieses Buch fasziniert mich und ich kann sagen, dass es sich jeder Halo Fan holen sollte.

Questo Artbook raccoglie quasi 200 pagine di concept provenienti da ogni capitolo di Halo prodotto da Bungie, da CE a Reach. Un compito non semplice, ma condotto con estrema coscienza e presentando una carrellata di ottimi concept, environments, location, divisi per titolo. Inutile soffermarsi su quanto gli artisti di Bungie siano stati capaci di creare qualcosa di estremamente prezioso e graficamente accattivante nel mondo visivo dello sci-fi, da cui centinaia di artisti si sono ispirati. Per cui, un must per ogni amante della fantascienza e un bel pezzo da collezione.

Delivered right on time, sturdy packaging and nothing wrong with the product.

A high quality book, a must for fans of the franchise.
