Review: Utterly essential for series fans - I'm utterly blown away by what's been included in this package. I'm a huge Metal Gear fan, and always obsessed over the Japan-only Yoji Shinkawa artbooks, but only ever picked up the MGS2 one. Not only does this set include everything printed in that book, with newly translated footnotes, it expands on it with material created for MGS2: Substance and The Document of MGS2. MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4 and Peace Walker are all covered with that same generosity. The work is a fascinating look into each game's development. It's not just something to admire aesthetically, but there's extensive details on scrapped ideas and minor aspects of characters, locations and technology that was never covered in-game. MGS1 is my favourite game, so I was particularly blown away by the 12-page breakdown of every joint and piece of weaponry on Metal Gear REX, all illustrated in Shinkawa's familiar, cool style. Even if you're only particularly interested in one of the games covered in these books, it's worth it. If you're not so interested in the games, but admire Shinkawa's work, it's worth it. Even if you've picked up some of the previous Shinkawa art books, but can't read Japanese, I think it's worth it. I think this set is a more exciting and valuable item for Metal Gear fans than around half of the games in the series. Review: Inspiring - Yoji Shinkawa has been such a creative influence for the past two decades for myself! I was so excited to receive a collective edition of his metal gear concept art. It comes in two books which is housed in an ergonomic box which has a hinged opening. The book quality themselves are of the highest degree with a silver edge on each page, which gives the book that X factor for the avid collector. One great suprise was the addition of in game story art which I found to be the most breathtaking art produced by shinkawa. This is a must for any true metal gear fan, and for £45 it was the bargain of the year. 10 out of 10.

Shout out to dark horse for the premium quality! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful artwork, wonderfully composed across two hardcovers *by C***R on 17 November 2019* The artwork is absolutely beautiful - pages and pages of Yoji Shinkawa's iconic artwork arranged across two hardcovers inside a nice case. Both books are heavy and full of content. My only minor complaints are that there's very little outside of the artwork - just some brief character info and sporadic notes on design details (don't expect anything too much in the way of behind the scenes information) - and that the MGS4 and Peace Walker sections soon descend into mere 3D renders, which I didn't care much for. Nevertheless, as a Metal Gear Solid fan, this comes highly recommended! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/65144069-art-of-metal-gear-solid-i-iv-4](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/65144069-art-of-metal-gear-solid-i-iv-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
