Book Reviews of Mastering Unreal Technology, Volume II: Advanced Level Design Concepts with Unreal Engine 3

Book Review: I am a game developer and this book is a must have
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a game developer, I needed this book in my learning process, it covers a lot of things that are "not covered" in other tutorials!
The book requires the basic understanding of unreal engine 3 and its editor, so it takes you in detail, explaining many of the advanced features of unreal engine 3, I learned a lot from this book, I was especialy happy with parts about working with UI interfaces,faceFX , cinematics and postprocessing, etc!

Overall I must say I "love" the book, and the price was low for such a gem,
I think this book is a must have for all Unreal Engine game designers!
I cant wait for the release of Volume 3, which will cover unreal script,I am sure it will be a great succes and will teach me a lot!
Tnx for this great book!!!
