Summary: 5 Stars
the book couldn't be in better shape. the book is packed well so it wont get bounced all around. im very happy with everythingBook Review: An Amazing Accompaniment to the Megaman Zero Games!
Summary: 4 Stars
After so many moons of waiting and waiting for this book to come out it is finally here! To put into perspective how long I've been waiting for this book to come out I believe that the first pre-order I put with Amazon.com was on February 20th, 2007. That's over a year ago! I can safely say that this book delivers on all fronts and is well worth the wait.
This book is 176 pages of filled with great art and information about the Megaman Zero Series. It provides inside information on the characters of the series as well as how some came about and more information about them that might not necessarily have been included in the games. It even provides great insight into characters that were cut from the final product of said series. Great art, great insight into the series and it's creators, what more could you ask for?
There are actually two things that I could ask for and those come in the forms of errors. On page 169 leading into page 170 there is a sentence that seems to have been cut off. "Since we had left the first game with such an open ending, I think we manage to pull of the..." Pull what off? Pull of the correct way to open the second game? Pull of the best way to start the second game? What is it? As soon as you hit page 170 a new question is asked and the previous sentence is never finished.
The second error comes in on page 153; there is a picture that was reused from page 152. The picture in question fits perfectly in 152 but not in 153 which a different scene is playing out entirely. You're reading scene after scene then you stop abruptly at this scene that doesn't even belong there!
These two errors make me feel a bit disappointed in the book. For a book that was often delayed as this I feel like the book should have no errors in it what-so-ever. Very disappointing indeed.
Still this book makes a great accompaniment to the video game series overall with beautiful artwork and a better insight into the creation and the things that were created in the game. If you love the Megaman Zero series then you'll love this book.
Book Review: Nice work UDON!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed looking over this artbook. Frankly, I like it when UDON translates and releases Japanese material, as opposed to creating their own original content. My favorite aspect was the copious amount of concept art. I always find it intriguing to see how the current designs come about, although in some cases, it just makes me sad because some of the older concepts seem far more interesting than the final product. My only problem with this book is that it seems that UDON may have made a few mistakes when translating some of the bosses' profiles (specifically, on the genders of certain bosses), based on some other translations of press material for the Zero games. Then again, if you're like me, you bought this book more for the artwork, and in that case, this book delivers.Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars
This art book has some beautiful artwork from the Megaman (Rockman) Zero series. It has pictures of many characters including bosses and even the Cyber-Elves. There are a few small sketches, and some screenshots from the games themselves.
This book is pretty good, but it could use some more sketches (like more sketches of the 4 Guardians, etc). However, it is a very nice book with plenty of Zero art. I would recommend to the Megaman Zero fans. (I could never finish the games due to their difficulty, but the artwork is truly beautiful).
Book Review: GREAT ART BOOK
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE this book .... there are a few things that I wish that could have been done differenty.
1 Bind it in hardback with a transparent dust cover.
2 Have full size scans of the mod cards instead of those tiny avatar size pics.
3 Add official English translated scripts from all of the voice drama tracks on the Japanese sound tracks. Translated lyrics to the song that Ciel sings at the end of Zero 4 would have been nice too.
