I loved this game and always wanted a an artbook on it, this is super expansive and very detailed. I honestly wish it was smaller because the thing just jets out of the shelf but it's honestly so good i don't mind.

If you like Tim Schafer Games, Heavy Metal, Album Art, Jack Black, or even just good Sword & Sorcery style art, this book is a must have.

if you find this game enjoyable and want more than just the 50 or so pic you might find on a google image search, than this book is for you.
first off, its a book and by that I mean the sucker is HEAVY and not a 'oh they used a heavy paper stock,' no. this book is so jammed pack with images and production designs from every faction be it Iron-Heade or any of the others every design from concept to finish is in there. with great info from the designers and people behind the scene. every one who loves this game NEEDS this book.

Admittedly a good bit of the concept art can already be unlocked in-game, and a section of the book are the full drawn out legends you can see in the game, but there is absolutely something to be said for having it on paper. The book is sturdy and the cover a work of art in itself, with gloss and holographic features. You'll wish there was more, and I would have liked more commentary, but for fans of the game it's a must have.

This is one of The greatest art books I have ever had honestly it is humongous tons of awesome artwork has lots of writing of information inside like production notes and things like that I thought it was going to be more of a small type book but no it has lots of artwork hundreds of pictures very awesome five out of five

The quality of most art books is meh at best, however the art of Brutal Legend is themed and crafted almost as well as the original work itself. Large pages give you an excellent view of all of the land of rock as the artists originally imagined it. If you enjoyed the art direction in Brutal Legend this is a must buy!
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2013
I have waited for this book since the game was released. I was not disappointed at all. Just wish this wasn't just a delayed book but a prempt of more Brutal Legend items. Maybe some figures, another game or a comic book would be nice.

This book is so good you almost forget that it's concept art for a video game. If you have a love for metal, Tim Schafer, music, art, or just awesome things in general it's your responsibility to buy this.

oltre 600 illustrazioni, con descrizioni, bozzetti,concept art, ecc. presenti immagini sia a colori che in bianco e nero. la vera sorpresa è stata la presenza di immagini e scritte che in controluce hanno l'effetto metallizzato. veramente dettagliato e completo. un pezzo per collezionisti

5.0 out of 5 stars Totallement METAAAAAL !
Reviewed in France on January 30, 2019
Une véritable mine d'or sur l'univers de Brütal Legend, la mise en page, les illustrations (j'étais claqué de rire en lisant les storyboard), l'uilisation d'un pantone argenté ( quelques fois pour des pleines pages comme pour les légendes ou pour des petits ornements/phrases) qui donne un cachet bien "métal". Si vous aimez le jeu et le heavy metal, ce livre est une perle et vaut le coup de se le procurer.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2019
This book is thicc with concept art and scenes found within the game. I like how its divided into the separate factions and kind of tells a story as you read/look through. Definitely worth picking this up if you're a fan of the game or if your looking for inspiration for a badass tattoo.
