VROOOOM. Splat.,
NOTE: I do not play the games. I only comment on how I view the sets themselves.
Alright, the UNSC Mongoose is one of the best simple sets out there. You get some sort of turret, which is well enough, but you also get the Mongoose itself. The Mongoose has decent clutch to the pieces, and the sniper rifle that you get is just plain awesome – and a rarer weapon too. All in all, highly recommended.

|Brilliant!,
Excellent value! I got many of these for 10 dollars, the actual retail price, and could not be more pleased.
5 stars for the set, and 5 stars for the value!
My highest recommendation.

|Great Gift,
Bought this for my nephew for Christmas and he loved them. It kept him busy for hours plus even my other nephew who is 14 years old really liked playing with them. They both enjoyed putting them together and taking them back apart and putting them together again. My sister-in-law said it was one of their favorite gifts for Christmas.

|Incredible Art,
This has to be one of the most fascinating and amazing collections of artwork I’ve ever seen… and it’s from a videogame! The artwork produced by Bungie is nothing if not spectacular. The artistry, imagination, and dedication needed to bring those ideas to life in a game is beyond what one would expect from a game. Halo is truly a work of art in itself. The look into character development and design is something a gamer doesn’t always get to see. This will make them appreciate the amazing work that Bungie does even more.

|A pretty good art book,
Packed with plenty of eye candy for the reader to look over and interesting writings about the development of the game. I was pleased to find a decent amount of conceptual sketches and beautiful environmental renderings.
As far as the down side of the book, a good portion of the art is cut outs of in game 3D characters and weapons, which is fine in it’s own right, but what really caught my eye is the amount of stretching and poor quality anti-alias 2d images all over the place. I wouldn’t mind them so much if this was a general HALO book, but seeing that this is the ART of HALO Book, it leaves something to be said about the editors.
That aside, i am really pleased with this book. I wish it were somewhat thicker but for it’s size it really does provided plenty of good stuff to look over and read about.
4 out of 5 from me.

|Better to google for the images,
My advice is for the buyer to look over the actual book before purchasing.
I had expected the book to be filled with awesome illustrations previously exclusive to Bungie employees, but most I had already found through Google. I was disappointed that they fill a good portion with space-filler character templates. The quality of some pictures printed don’t match up to the quality of the same images uploaded onto the net by the company.
The writers could of placed some effort in detailing how Bungie created the virtual world, considering how its part of the title… Its not as well written as other reviewers would lead you to believe. I’m not hating, the art work is GREAT. It’s just not worth the money as it’s currently priced (That’s why I gave a rating of three).
I bought this as a gift for a Halo addict, who loved it. A must have for devoted fans, but never buy it for yourself.
