Great tribute to Mega Man X January 10, 2010 Parka (Singapore) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R17MDQ9MSAF8CM Mega Man X: Official Complete Works is actually a half of the 336-page Japanese art book "R20" which was published in March 2008 to celebrate Mega Man's 20th anniversary. It's nice to have Capcom translate the book into English. The other half is Mega Man: Official Complete Works
This book retains the paperback format, low gloss pages and layout. The cover has a glossy embossed Mega Man X printed against a matte cover. It's very beautiful and X pops out nicely. This book has 144 pages compared to the Mega Man volume which has 200 pages.
There are both good and bad in releasing the original book as two volumes in English. The bad, of course, is the higher price. The good is the it's thinner and more friendly to the book spine. By comparison, my 320-page "SF20: The Art of Street Fighter", also from Capcom, has slight creases when I open the book wide.
The art inside is arranged by chronological order. The book is filled with colourful character designs, sketches and illustrations from game covers, manga and other merchandise. The variety is amazing. The pages are packed with so many versions of powered up Mega Man X, the bosses and enemies.
The designs are beautiful and detailed. I've never actually played Mega Man X before so this book isn't as nostalgic as the other volume, but whatever you can think of is probably found in this book.
Accompanying the designs are lots of quotes from the Japanese artists. They talk about the characters, ideas, and you can gain some interesting insight into their working environment. There are 8 artists doing the designs and they are Ryuji Higurashi, Hayato Kaji, Keisuke Mizuno, Tatsuya Yoshikawa, Shinsuke Komaki, Haruki Suetsugu, Sho Tsuge and Yoshihisa Tsuda.
This book is a great tribute to the Mega Man X franchise, highly recommended to all fans.
If you like this book, check out Mega Man: Official Complete Works also.
The full list of game titles included are:
* Mega Man X to X8
* Mega Man Xtreme
* Mega Man Xtreme 2
* Mega Man X: Command Mission
* Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X

This book finally came out, and it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!
TONS of artwork, and a professional presentation, this book is a MUST HAVE for all video game enthusiasts, Mega Man/Rockman fans, and art buffs....
this book has something for everyone, and is COMPLETELY LOADED with tons of greatness, including more artwork than you ever though possible from the
Mega Man X series.
Plus, Amazon's price beats anyplace else you'll find this great book
5 stars, My absolute highest recommendation.
Everything You'll Ever Want To Know And See As A Mega Man X Fan! January 29, 2010 Andre Karkamaz (USA) Includes all the information of how characters came to be through the minds of the creators themselves! Also The Art Work Is Beyond Fantastic! Great For Those Who Like To Draw And Sketch. I would Recommend Buying This From Amazon, The Price Is Unbeatable! Plus I got Free Shipping, which makes this literally half off of what I would have paid at Barnes And Nobles Or Any Other Book Retail Store. All Around A Great Buy For Any Mega Man X Fan!
Mega Man X-Official Complete Works February 3, 2010 Kathleen A. Batista (Philadelphia, PA) This is for my son who is 18. He is an art student in his first year of college. This took a REALLY LONG time to get it but he was very pleased with it. Thank you.
From Super nintendo to PS2 May 14, 2010 Andrew Brake I loved this book. Being a huge fan of megaman and starting the megaman x series from the begininig it brought back so many memories flipping through the pages you see the in depth work and beauty of the character designs. This is a must have for all fans of both series.
