This book is full of extravagant concepts which truly show how wonderful the halo universe is. This is a book that is highly detailed in concepts and descriptions. I will be looking through this book time to time for a long while and get lost in artwork.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
