Charting the glorious decade that spans Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo: Reach, Halo: The Great Journey is a lavish and spectacular review of ten years of groundbreaking game art brought together in one place as never before. 

Halo: The Great Journey is the ultimate gallery of the Halo universe - from characters to weapons and much more; with sketches and concept art by acclaimed artists such as Ashley Wood, the detailed interiors and sweeping landscapes of Alex Chu, and Frank Capezzuto's breathtaking spacescapes. 

In addition there is art from Halo: Legends - the anime DVD - book covers, comic pages, marketing images and more; plus an introduction from "the face of Halo," Frank O'Connor. 

A celebration of visual splendor - from the Spartans themselves to the breathtaking vistas of dawn breaking on an alien world - Halo: The Great Journey is dramatic, grandiose and utterly awesome.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Totally breath-taking." - io9

"This is a book that deserves huge recognition. Not only is the subject matter one of the most important gaming franchises to ever hit our machines, it also has life, colour and soul bouncing from every page combined with words from people that have lived and breathed Halo. It’s a book that could grace any shelf or coffee table and become a talking point. In fact it’s worth buying a coffee table just for this book." - This Is Xbox

"Halo: The Art of Building Worlds is simply magnificent in production and content. Even this reviewer, who is not a fan of the series, cannot help but be blown away by the sheer beauty of this book." - Square Go

"A compelling visual tour of this extraordinary universe." - School Library Journal

"Simply put, this book is a must have for every Halo fan." - The Daily Blam

"...a breathtaking window into the creation of one of gaming’s most imaginative universes. With a near perfect blend of expansive art pieces, rich backstory, and entertaining anecdotes, the book is a worthy tribute to Microsoft’s juggernaut franchise." - Piki Geek

"If you're any kind of Halo fan, it's an absolute treat and an essential must have." - CVG

"A glorious celebration of Halo." - Xboxer 360

"...the kind of art book that you can get lost in..." - SciFi Mafia

"A brilliantly compiled graphic history." - Gamer Wok

My sister loves the series and is an inspiring digital artist. She loves the book with all the background of the areas and characters.
I noticed little details like there are images and text that are glossed but not the whole page. The inside covers are background art, there is even a nice looking engraving in the cover under the dust jacket.

I am a halo fan, and I’ve never been to much into collecting the art books but seeing as this was on sale , I gave it a try and I am not disappointed . Some of the pictures make me remember when I first played the game all that time ago and all of the pics are detailed and cool.

9/10 this book doesn’t really waste a page I feel like. I’m so happy they didn’t cram any 343 stuff in this book and let bungie’s legacy shine all the way on every page with a pretty good informative analysis of each thing in the pages. must have book for any above average halo fan. They didn’t go into to much detail at all about noble team they didn’t even show carter or really any images of the interior buildings of the installations or guilty spark concepts. But still a really solid book worth the money just would of made it perfect with that for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good buy, but check packaging for damage first!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

4 stars:

It's a Halo coffee table art book. Lovely to flip through and the high gloss pages are really nice. The only reason why I'm docking this a star is that they spent all that effort on the pages themselves, and couldn't do a similar, high-gloss for the art sleeve it comes in. The art sleeve has a matte texture and is quite thick, but it will attract dust and is difficult to wipe clean should liquid droplets get on it.

As in my title, please, please please check the packaging for damage. My box came with damage on the corners. Thankfully, this did not really impact the book itself, a minor curl of the free corners occurred, but it is purely cosmetic with no separation of the cover layers. This is not an Amazon or seller issue, this is purely the carrier issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't express how much I like it.
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2013

I'm one of the biggest Halo fans I know. I've been a fan since I was 10, back when Halo: Combat Evolved first released. It's been one hell of a journey. I don't collect many things, and though my most expensive hobby is definitely my love for cars, Halo might be second on that list. So, when I found this product on amazon, it didn't take much time for me to add it to my cart, along with a few other Halo books/art books.

And I was so glad I did. I can't really go into detail about it. If you're reading this, it is likely you're a big Halo fan, and the only question in your mind is "is this worth $25?"

To me, the answer is unabashedly yes. But I'm an admitted Halo-fanboy. I love the art, the music, the characters, the story, the gameplay, the canon, the history. This book is just another cherry on the lovely Halo cake. And I love cherries!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2020

Years ago I got the Art of Halo book that came before this - which i loved. This seemed like a good follow up. It contains almost everything from the previous book and so much more. It's been a while since I've read through it but if memory serves it covers Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and reach. So, basically - the Bungie era. Great annotations, a lot of insight - a nice read.
It's so good for reference as well - line drawings, digital paintings - so great.
It also features loads of designs for spartan armor - which i think is what most people are interested to see!

Una lectura interesante para quienes sean muy fans de la saga, aunque me hubiera gustado que tuviera más artworks descartados y cosas por el estilo, que ofreciese una visión más analítica de cómo se llegó a la estética final. Es más un libro para deleitarse con el arte que ya conocemos, con grandes y coloridos artworks a dos páginas.

Les vrais fans y trouveront une mine d'informations et de une palette incroyable d'illustration à couper le souffle. Comme toujours dans ce type de bouquin, il est difficile à transporter partout et à lire aisément sans support (table, lit, canapé...) adéquat. Mais dès son ouverture, on se replonge avec bonheur dans un univers riche et incroyablement addictif.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un Ottimo Compendium
Reviewed in Italy on May 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
Questo Artbook raccoglie quasi 200 pagine di concept provenienti da ogni capitolo di Halo prodotto da Bungie, da CE a Reach.
Un compito non semplice, ma condotto con estrema coscienza e presentando una carrellata di ottimi concept, environments, location, divisi per titolo. Inutile soffermarsi su quanto gli artisti di Bungie siano stati capaci di creare qualcosa di estremamente prezioso e graficamente accattivante nel mondo visivo dello sci-fi, da cui centinaia di artisti si sono ispirati.
Per cui, un must per ogni amante della fantascienza e un bel pezzo da collezione.
