A Visual Treat for Metroid Fans Worth Every Cent

This is certainly a beautiful retrospective book that takes me all the way back to the original game for the GameCube in 2002 and does indeed have high-quality stitched binding and a nice canvas cloth-style hardcover, a very solidly built book. The illustrations are nice and clean and the colors are lovely, and the pages are on a nice art paper that is a bit more matte, so there isn't a lot of annoying glare when you're trying to read the pages under a bright light. The concept art covered in the book is expansive and thorough, covering all three games in the original trilogy, as well as "Metroid Prime Remastered". It doesn't feel skimpy and low-effort. Overall, everything a Metroid fan might be waiting for, and a wonderful prelude to Metroid Prime 4 (as of the time of this writing, due to come out December 4th here in the US). If there were any critiques, it would be that the gray used on some of the names of creatures/characters is a bit hard to see because they blend too well with the backgrounds. It would've helped, design-wise, if they'd used a black or white outline on the letters for that reason. One more thing of note I'd like to add is that Piggyback went the extra mile with protecting the book for shipping by putting it inside a stiff mailer; it's always nice to see companies give a bit of a fig so that customers are happy with what they receive. Nicely done, Piggyback! ... show more

Must-Have for Hard-Core Fans
Format: Hardcover
Wish I could give 4 and a Half Stars. This book is an absolutely gorgeous treasure trove of concept art. It feels like no expense was spared and any hard-core Metroid Fan should own a copy. I do wish this book delved much deeper into the development than it does. There are notes from the producer throughout, but I would have loved to hear every last detail about the "stories" each piece of art tells, why some designs were chosen over others, and so on. It's also come to my attention the original concept artists were not credited in this book. Not cool, Nintendo/Retro/Piggyback/Whoever! ... show more

Metroid Masterpiece!
Format: Hardcover
This book is truly one of the best art collections in all of Nintendo's history! Journey behind the scenes of Nintendo's greatest sci-fi fps trilogy in this masterful collection of high resolution concept art spanning the three games and the HD remaster. ( unfortunately Prime Hunters and Prime federation force concept art has been omitted... ) The detailed art accompanied by behind the scenes commentary from the developers offers a rich history lesson behind some of the most influential and greatest games to define a self made genre and generation! ... show more

Wow! When I pre-ordered this book, I just wasn't expecting this level of depth and quality. I'm absolutely blown away by the whole presentation here. This is one finely crafted book...everything from the foil-embossed cover to the high-quality imagery throughout, this book screams class! It's absolutely a must-own for Metroid fans of all ages. This really isn't just an art book, it's more like a show piece. Just so excited to have it in my collection! No complaints at all. Very highly recommended! ... show more

Perfect for the Metroid Prime Fan
Format: Hardcover
Very high quality art book showcasing a lot of the art in all three games from Retro. As I turned through the pages, it made me remember of the adventures I had with the games when I played them long ago. Makes one appreciate the games even more. Truly gives Metroid fans great quality art with some added commentary into the insight of some of the characters, landscape and design process. A great collector's item for the series. Prepares you for the art that will eventually come out of Metroid Prime 4's game when it is released. ... show more

Metroid Book
Format: Hardcover
I don't think I've ever written a review, but as a huge Metroid fan I want to say that this book is a masterpiece. On par with the Hyrule History books. All the artwork and details in this are fantastic. Definitely worth the money. Glad I got it.
