more art please!
I thought this was a really great book, despite the mistake of buying it as purely an art book.
There is a good amount of artwork at the back of the book, mainly pencilled lineart, but it does leave you wanting more. The guide to each Colussus is pretty cool and they feature some nice screen grabs if your interested in studying or drawing the in game interpretations of the creatures. Theres also a lot of cool Vocabularly to learn if your Japanese language student. Not really an artbook, but still very good overall.

not really an art book
this should not be considered an art book...it only has a few pages of the actual conceptual art while the rest is all text and screenshots from the game... granted if i could read japanese i might enjoy it more but if all i wanted were screenshots and a few pages of art then i would have searched on google images for them.... thumbs down on this

No title
This is more of a guidebook than an art book, so I'm only giving it 4 stars here. Very nicely laid out, however, and they've made excellent use of the promotion in-game shots, and I'm sure most of them are new ones taken specially for the book. Details the sequences to kill each of the colossi in the best way, and includes maps of all colossi locations, as well as all save points, fruit and geckos.

The last 30 pages are full of preproduction sketches and drawings, and several pages are dedicated to the colossi that never made it, many of which ended up being built in-game.

If you're a fan, it's still a must-have book. I'm just a little disappointed that there wasn't more preproduction artwork in there.
