カスタマーレビュー
他の国からのトップレビュー
For me, this really makes the book feel more like a collection of snapshots rather than any sort of in-depth view into video games or video game art. The interviews with the game developers is a nice touch, but even then, the amount of insight is small - each interview probably consisting of less than two full pages worth of text. While the book is filled with very beautiful glossy pictures of games, quite a few of the pieces are publicity photos. Final Fantasy is probably one of the more well-known franchises in this book, and quite a few of the images in the FF spread are directly from their promotional library. For instance, the giant splash page image of characters riding chocobos is lifted directly from the Final Fantasy XIV image catalog and very easily found online (search: final fantasy xiv chocobo). Out of curiosity, I did a few Google searches on some of the smaller indie titles (Tengami, Child of Light, and Never Alone) and found that most of the art in this book could be found on the first page of image search results. Also worth mentioning was that most of the images Japanese games (specifically the JRPGs) other than Final Fantasy were not actual game art at all, but rather character or concept art. There are several pieces from the Atelier series but zero actual in-game photographs - only concept art.
So to summarize, most of the images in this book are "public" photographs that you can easily find online by doing a simple image search for the relevant titles. The interviews with the creators and developers are a nice touch, but only surface interviews with very little substance - finding an interview with the creator done by a gaming site would probably give you more insight. The book itself is beautifully done. The colors and pictures are very sharp and the paper heavy and glossy. If you wanted a coffee table book about game art, or just a nice compact collection of general game art information, this is a good book to pick up.
If you were hoping for a real "Game Art" book which lots of different images from games that can't be found anywhere else, this is not the book to grab. There have been a couple of books done about video game art and they tend to pale in comparison to title specific or studio specific books. If you were looking for a book on video game art, I'd suggest sticking with the more specific books for now, these shotgun approach titles just aren't up to par yet.
Suggested titles to pick up instead:
UDON's Art of Capcom: Complete Edition
The Art of The Last of Us and/or The Art of Naughty Dog
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
And pretty much anything from a Japanese studio with the words "Works" or "Complete Works" in the title (example: Breath of Fire: Official Complete Works )
