"Nice, but lacked written text to explain concepts behind it"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Nice book, it would be nice if it had MORE intellectual substantial texts to explain concept and idea behind these art work and ‘photography of artist in studios doing the work, both on paper and computers, would have been good to appreciate the skills of imagining, drawing, painting and adopting to computer graphics work. I expected to see a chapter or 2 on the evolution of Wolfenstein's game as concept and genre. It's not GREAT, it is 'good’, only if you just want pictures.

"Amazing Companion to Awesome Game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

208 pages (not 184 pages) of visually stunning artwork showing the extend the game developer went in creating their vision of a richly colorful world of “Wolfenstein: The New Order”. The text is concise and straight to the point from the creators of the game themselves.

It expands on “Collectible Concept Art” found in the game with greater detail in a beautifully presented slightly larger than A4 hardcover book.

Each chapter are in the same chronological order to the levels as found in the game covering: concept art, level environments, character design with profiles as you encounter them in the game, weapons as they become available, enemies and robots you confront to featured vehicles, graphics and props.

Not very many games get their own “Art Of” book and this is easily one of the best I have seen this year. Definitively a collector's item!
