4 out of 5 stars Very good for real fans   April 9, 2010
Ricardo Reynoso
If you were really into the games you will like this item as it has most if not all of hte characters of every megaman game named just like that (it doesn't have the megaman x characters or other megaman versions)I liked the size of the book but didn't like much the order in which games are presented (by date of realease) since I was only familiar with a couple of game systems and this book has around 8 different platforms in which megaman existed, but is not a big deal either. Most of the illustrations are pretty well done but they tried to keep the original style in which they were done, therefore megaman 1 illustrations are not as good as megaman 6 for instance but still aceptable. The book is a bit expensive at $27 so you really have to like megaman to make it worth. Some illustrations about the scenarios of each boss or snapshots would've been good but it only has a few if any. I rated four stars because it has lot of material at the end that is not very good but when you have that many pages you can expect that..


4 out of 5 stars Awesome book for the fans   March 25, 2010
Ian Dimas De Almeida (Belo Horizonte, Brazil)
This is a complete must for MegaMan fans. Containing every official artwork from the series up to 2007, when this book was originally released (the exception being some of the american covers, but I'm actually glad those were left out, since I really don't feel like looking at the hideous US Megaman 1 and 2 covers ever again :P), also present are comments from some of the staff and tons of sketches and early concepts.

The book format is great, the cover is beautiful, and it's an overall great presentation. The reason I gave it 4 stars though, is because I have zero tolerance for censorship, and unfortunately, Udon decided to use the American/European color scheme for Oilman, even in the sketches. It's very inconsistent though, as there's 2 ilustrations that use his normal color scheme (one of them even being in the cover), but still, it's very sad to see this kind of thing. If you personally don't have a problem with that, consider this a 5 star review, because that's really the only thing I can complain about ;)

5 out of 5 stars Simply perfect   March 12, 2010
Iuri Fiedoruk (Porto Alegre, Brazil)
First, congratulations to the publisher because, not only if bought this masterpiece from Japan, but they also did took the care to keep it intact instead of changing everything like most americans do - if you know japanese terror filmes adaptation to USA, or even games like Rockman->Megaman you know what I mean.

Second, this is a totally must have for anyone who played Megaman games, from 1 to 6 and 9 and 10. Simply do not loose time, buy it, it is worth every single cent. It not only have inedit artwork, but text of the creatosd talking about their work is fun and the most important testimony about Megaman history so far. The sketches of non-used charaters and robot masters make you imagine as you were the Megaman development team, picking one that best fits their ideas, simply wonderful.



5 out of 5 stars A nostalgic look at the Mega Man games that made him a legend   March 9, 2010
Eduardo Rodulfo (Laredo, Texas)
First of all, the availability of this video game art book is somewhat limited. I had wanted to order one since it came out in November 2009, but I waited too long to order it. When I finally tried to order it, it was already sold out or back ordered everywhere. The stores that did have it in stock were selling it way over the cover price. Anyone who is a fan of Mega Man games of today or those from the 90's should really pick up this book. It has about 200 pages of beautiful artwork from the creators / designers and also includes some exclusive never before seen drawings / sketches. Some people that have worked on the games over the years also include some insight into a lot of the sketches. The people who put together this book have paid so much attention to detail, and it clearly shows from start to finish. For example, a little Megaman is printed in the corner of every page. If you flip the pages quickly, you can make him run in motion! It is reasons like this that this one of my favorite books in my collection!
