Has a lot of info for Fans!

I will never regret buying this, I was praying they had enough info so I could always go back and check staff if I ever forget something I found in the books. They have everything detailed, really nice pictures, and artwork, and at the end a Glossary, so you can find whatever you are looking for. I never imagined the book was so Big! Its big, great print, tons of pictures, artwork, info, everything you need to learn to know everything of halo until this point. Recommend a hundred times.

Complete book for Halo Lovers

I purchased this book as one of several Christmas presents for one of my nephews. He opened his present on Christmas Eve and did not put the book down for several hours. His other Christmas presents came in second. The adults were as interested in the book. This is an excellent book for everyone that loves HALO. It is complete and has complete character descriptions, great photos and tons of information. Great Buy!

The Halo Universe right at your fingertips

I purchased this Encyclopedia for my nephew as a gift and he loves it. His favorite gaming series is the Halo series. The book tells you anything and everything that you want to know about the Halo Universe. There are a lot of works of concept art in the book, along with in-game screen shots. This is a must have for any Halo fan out there. This book looks great on the bookshelf/desk, and can be used as a very nice coffee table book. Pick this one up for your favorite Halo fan (or yourself).

Exceptional guide and a fun read

As an avid Halo fan I was pleasantly surprised with the unorthodox approach to this book. It reads more like a real-life history guide to the Halo Universe, rather than a snazzy tech manual you'd expect from a sci-fi game. The articles are broken up into various themes and formats making reading both exciting and very informative. I highly recommended!

Interesting, visually enjoyable book for the Halo enthusiasts

I gave this as a gift to my Halo-loving 17-yr. old son, so this review is based on what he said about the book and a few things I noticed about it.

This is one heavy, big book, about the size of a coffee table book. It's rich with very good illustrations and nuggets of information, some of which my son wasn't aware of. What some of the others have said is true; this isn't a book that contains a lot of Halo's back story or goes into a great deal of information about weapons, characters, maps, etc., that an experienced Halo player wouldn't already know.

Truthfully, this is better compared to a dictionary than an encyclopedia. Generally speaking, not much more than a page is dedicated to a lot of Halo's mechanics, and as has been already said, since the author of this is also the author of some Halo novels, there's a pretty focused point of view that sacrifices the fuller experience of the Halo Universe.

This is a nice book to page through and pick up a fact here and there; as I mentioned, the illustrations are well done and in the end, the thing that saves this book from just being something you look at once and toss on the shelf. Considering the upcoming release of Halo: Reach this fall and what will surely be the continuation of the series for a while, this book is going to be outdated quickly.

I still think this is a nice gift for the Halo fan that absolutely has to have everything (or nearly everything), but for the casual player that isn't interested in much beyond playing the game, they probably could skip this and not really miss anything.
