Product Description
Mass Effect is set in a rich and diverse universe hundreds of years in our future. The challenge of creating a plausible vision for humanity and a galaxy of ancient and exotic alien races was given to BioWare's talented art and design teams. They began in a formless void and shaped their worlds, their races, and their civilizations to finish with a living breathing setting exclusive to the Xbox 360.
From a massive space citadel whose origins are lost in time to the utilitarian clothing of frontier colonists, each component, whether small or colossal, anomalous or common, within Mass Effect's universe need to be brought to detailed life.
In this stunning volume, take an exclusive step back to when this universe was still forming in this compilation of art, images, and commentary taken directly from the artists' sketchbooks as they created the universe of Mass Effect.

Great Artbook April 4, 2010
Andrew Hanson (Austin, TX)
Great artwork, good price. I have no complaints with it, other than there could've been a little more on written up about the artwork itself.
 Really for the fans February 12, 2010
S. Awlasewicz (Darien, CT USA)
The Art of Mass Effect is a solid look at the concepts behind the first game in the series. It gives you a pretty good sense of where the artists were coming from when designing the look and feel of the game. What I found to be a nice touch was a lot of the designs are grounded in reality, things we are familiar with. Much of the designs are based on animals, particularly mash-ups of different animals. Take the varren for example. They are clearly based on some kind of wild dog for the body but have very fish-like features in the face, like the jaw and the globe-like eyes.
I'm only giving the book four stars out of five because if you really want to get a better feel for the art, the bonus disc in the Platinum Hits variation of the game offers a much better look. It has all the artwork from the book (plus a little more but not 100% on that) organized into different galleries, with full voice commentary. Gives a much better insight to what the artists were striving for than the project director's little notes that dot each page of the book.
Could be better July 18, 2009

I love mass effect but this art book could be better. My biggest problem with it is that most of the images (specially the environments) are too small. Despite that fact it still is an awesome art book.
Fantastic May 5, 2009

This book is great for any fan of the game and also anyone who likes art. The pictures are beautiful and it gives great insight into the making of one of the best action rpgs.
