Editorial Reviews

Review

"The design of this expansion is intricately explored in the book as well. With just enough reading to deliver the insight you need to understand the what went into the game, the rest of the book is saturated with beautiful pictures to take you through the journey." - Don’t Forget A Towel

"Jaw-dropping." - Midroad Movie

"Not only is it a beautiful look behind the scenes, it’s also a nice breakdown and walkthrough of different techniques and elements that were mixed into the movie-inspired madness." - Midroad Movie

"Filled to the brim with slick character art, concept renderings of weapons and vehicles, ominous sketches and incredibly detailed re-creations from iconic scenes from the classic film" -  Hey Poor Player

"The concept art does a fine job of showing the changes in design the team went through." - Destructoid

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Companion to the Game
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is the perfect book to accompany the game. If you don't have the game yet or are just a fan of the series, it's still a nice companion piece.

    For starters, this is a huge coffee table book. It's thick and beautifully bound, and has a nice slipcase.

    It details some of the hard work Creative Assembly have put in to ensure Alien: Isolation was nothing short of a genuine Alien experience.

    The book is broken down into chapters, each detailing different aspects of the game, from character design, to environmental models, to storyboards and beyond. It is lavishly illustrated and the pictures all have equally descriptive accompanying text.

    Be aware that the later half of the book will contain spoilers towards the game's plot, so if you want to keep it a surprise, try to avoid it. (Hint: Starts around the Xenomorph chapter.)

    I pre-ordered this back in March and I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but like the game itself this book blew me away. I could physically see CA's attention to detail in the short gameplay clips they shared with the gaming world, and in their screenshots, but the art book allowed for an elevated sense of appreciation and respect.

    From a studio whose best-known works are real-time strategy games like Total War. Alien: Isolation is an innovative, standout title that will be spoken of for years to come, and this book gives a lot of insight to how the team molded it to be that way.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    The art book itself is very nice over all, with over 100 pages of storyboards, background information about anything and everything in the game, and just the pictures and models themselves are very nice to look at. Only slight inconvenience is that the cover for the book is very flimsy and needs to be taped to the book itself. The cover being flimsy caused me to tear a bit of the corner when I was opening my package. But overall a very nice art book

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not much of the book is devoted to the enemies...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This art book focuses on hand drawn artwork, story boards and a quite a few 3D renders of characters, objects (guns, posters, terminals, ect) and most of all: the ship. It's basically like any other video game art book. What's nice is that it includes a few references photos from the first movie for comparison.
    However, this book skimps out on the enemies, giving the titular Xenomorph 14 pages, and the Working Joes a single spread. If you're specifically wanting something that has some of H.R. Giger's artwork in it, this book only has a single shrunken down reference.

    Overall, this art book is enjoyable if you want to see the work put into the atmosphere and environment of this game.

    The pictures of this book don't do it justice, this thing is beautiful. My book came plastic wrapped and was in very good shape, the book itself has a sleeve that can be taken off that revels what looks to be an illustration of the Alien drawn with green crayon, but it looks amazing. The content of

    this book it just simply amazing, it covers all aspects of the game and how they were able to stay true to the design of the movies. I had to stop reading at mid way through because it dose contain spoilers and I haven't finished the game yet. My one gripe is not the content itself but the condition

    of some pages, four pages seem to have a wax left over on them and has left nasty white lines on the pages. It would be a problem if it were in the written part but its on illustration pages. I will still give this 5 stars because it most likely wont happen to you. Amazing book, I highly recommend it

    if your a fan of the movies or the game.

    If you played this game, and every Alien fan should, you know how closely the game came to capturing the atmosphere of the first film. This book is further evidence of how much the development team cared about hitting that bullseye.

    What I found especially fascinating is how respectfully the game’s creators approached their inspiration, even going so far as to behave like filmmakers of the 70’s, with hand drawn concept art, storyboards, costuming and set design. There are some CG renders in here, which I find the least interesting, but generally you are treated to good old fashioned creativity, it’s almost like the design bible for the first Alien film that never actually existed. It’s amazing and it makes me want to play the game again, maybe on hard this time.

    A wonderful book about the art behind this great game.
    The Xenomorph is only part of the last section of the book, which I enjoyed, since I was mostly interested in the set design for the game, which is simply spectacular.
    However, the thought process behind the first sketches of the alien is just wonderful.
    In general, the explanations for the designs are wonderful and described in great detail.
