Acquistatelo, per cortesia
Libro davvero molto bello. Ciascun gioco che compone la saga è analizzato da ogni punto di vista, narrativo, tematico e tecnico, senza però ricadere nel barocco opinionistico che talvolta si incontra in questi lidi. Servirebbero più approfondimenti di questo tipo, aumenterebbero la percezione del media "videogioco" che oggi è detenuta dal grande pubblico. L'inglese con cui è stato tradotto dall'originale francese è scolastico e per nulla complesso. Consigliato ai fan accaniti dell'opera di Levine e Irrational (coadiuvati da 2K Marin) o a chi, semplicemente, cerca spunti per perfezionare la propria critica videoludica.

If you like BioShock, then this is the book you want to own!
The stories of BioShock 1, 2 and Infinite might seem a little all over the place when first playing the series. Even hardcore fans might've missed little details in the environment that would've painted a clearer picture of the complex stories. This book perfectly explains, from the beginning to the end, what happened in Rapture and Columbia and explains the story in a captivating and thrilling way! Some parts even gave me chills down my spine. Apart from the games' stories, this book explains the background around the series as well; Ken Levine's intentions, sources and references. The outer appearance of this hardcover book is phenomenal as well! The bronze finish around the edges gives the book a classy look that reminds of Columbia. And lastly - the spelling mistakes (that are a plenty) are funny ;)
