Great Artwork for a great game
Assassin's Creed limited Edition Artwork has a lot of production design into the riveting game by Ubisoft. You will be drawn into the production as these programmers and artist re-create the Holy Land of 1191. Actual city layouts are identical to the time period, masses of people move in and out and great care was taken in the design of their clothings, their look and their manners. All of this described in great detail in the pages of this book. One of the best how-it-was-made guides.

Pretty Good...
I haven't played Assassin's Creed, nor do I have a platform that supports it - I just wanted to mention that up front. I'm a fan and collector of conceptual art books, and after having seen the trailers and commercials for this game, I decided to go ahead and get this book. It's a nice book, certainly, chock-full of illustrations that helped in the conceptualization of the game, everything from the minutiae of the main character's costume, to various images of knights, peasants, etc. It's nicely produced, printed of good paper, and has a sturdy hardcover binding. I suppose why this book gets 3 stars is because there's nothing here that is especially eye-popping or earth-shattering here: while the art is well done, it's fairly ordinary and I wish there were more interesting designs, etc. Additionally, the commentary text seems to have been hurriedly edited, as I noted some typos, etc. I'd recommend this book for conceptual art collectors and, probably, diehard fans of the game.

Un gran libro, para un gran juego!
Cuando adquiri la edición de coleccionistas de Assassins Creed lo hice por el libro de arte que pense venia con el juego. Realmente venia tan solo un previo lo cual me decepciono bastante (aunque por el comic y la figurilla todavia vale la pena). Habia quedado con la curiosidad de ver todo ese trabajo detras del juego asi que decidi buscar el verdadero libro de Arte. Quede sorprendido por el nivel de detalle y buen trabajo que hicieron con el libro. Esta divido por secciones, tocando en cada segmento a personajes (principales y secundarios), escenarios, etc. Esta tan bien hecho que me parecio corto, queria mas, aun cuando son alrededor de 150 paginas dedicadas al arte de este juego. Si estudias ilustración, arte, amas los video juegos, este libro no puede faltar en tu coleccion. El juego no es perfecto, pero si es bastante bueno y entretenido. Si embargo todavia se queda corto tratando de reflejar todo el trabajo y estetica que los chicos de Ubi realizaron para llegar hasta ahi. En mi blog, camburpinton.tv le dedique un par de post a este excelente libro.
