A Great and Cheap way to experience the art of Metal Gear Solid
The digital art book of the art of metal gear solid is everything it needed to be and more.
The scans are clean and crisp, giving the readers more than a good eyeful of Yoji Shinkawa's work on the series.
Perhaps the only gripe I have with this art book is that the translation notes on the bottom of each page are a little too small at times. I would have also liked to delve into explanations of the characters and a walkthrough of Shinkawa's process while designing said characters. We do get some explanation in the translation notes but these are only little snipets.
This art book is a must have for fans of the metal gear series and yoji shinkawa's art. This art book is the cheapest way to experience the art book and I would recommend in a heartbeat to mgs fans that have been eyeing the book but are on tight on cash.
