This book offers a solid foundation for the planning stages and a good overview of the implementation stages of level design. Good for those who are looking for general strategies for level creation and wanting to get up to speed on terminology/workflow for this type of work. It's all fairly theoretical with only one chapter on actual nuts and bolts level design, where you make a single room in the Unreal editor. If you're wanting something covering more specifics for a given level editor (like 'how do you create water?' or 'how do you make displacements') you should probably look for something more in a technical bible or a video tutorial series for the tool in question.

Meh... <<< As defined by the Simpsons. Good thing it's out of print!

a few more words to meet the requirement like the fact that it's behind in the times and doesn't properly convey modern game design let alone level design in the best way possible not that everything is outdated but a good majority of it is and no I won't use punctuation because I don't care about this portion I shouldn't be required to give a full indepth review of an outdated book that doesn't bother to give me decent information screw you amazon!

I am very pleased with my purchase, I purchased the book as used like new, the book was in excellent condition, it came with a cd that hadn't been opened, so like new was really new, I bought new books from my sons college that werent't in as good condition. I definitely plan on buying my sons books for his college classes from amazon, and I will be looking to buy from woody's books through amazon, prices are better, and the quality is great!
