Summary: The most useless book in sale 2008-04-29
Comment: Bad quality figures, bad quality of press, but, these are the smaller defects.
It is the most useless book you can buy.
In Internet Unreal fans communities you can find more useful tutorials and, surely, more easier to read. Sincerely, I don't understand how it is possible publish a book as this. I haven't intention to denigrate the author, I think he will be able to write better, in future. Only, I'sorry to throw my monies.

Summary: Never again 2008-03-10
Comment: This book like many others I've tried to learn from comes with useless tutorials because it uses Maya 5.0 which also requires you to obtain a key for it. You cannot get a key so you cannot install it and Maya only lets you download 8.5 now so the plugins you need that the book CD comes with are useless.
Its as useless as "Game Programming All in One third edition". Never again will I buy any book on programming that was written over a year ago because the software updates so fast that the resources you need that the books come with are always useless.

Summary: A Very Helpful Book 2007-09-21
Comment: I am a Game Art Development student, and this book has been indespensible in aiding in my understanding of the Unreal Editor. Without this book, I'm sure that it would've taken me waaaaayyy longer to get things done than the limited time that I had. Even though the book is more expensive than the game itself, it is a must have for any aspiring modder or game creator.

Summary: Haven't Used it just yet... 2007-08-04
Comment: I just bought this book, and although It seems like it's going to be great, my major problem is finding either Maya PLE 5.0's registration number, or Maya 7.0 PLE and its registration number.
the Autodesk site only has Maya PLE 8.5 to download and there are only plug-ins for Unreal for Maya 5.0 PLE and Maya 7.0 PLE (note: there is no version for the regular Maya)
So it kind of leaves you stuck with nothing to use. There is also nothing on the net about it either.

Summary: If you want to know how to make a MOD or GAME... Get This... 2007-05-12
Comment: Wow, it Big, It heavy and yes my Friends it is a red Brick, But it well worth ever cent and every page. Packed full of Useful Information and Helpful Tutorials it writen with the Lamen in mind. and take you into the Skills needed to make almost a full game. The one thing it lacks is the swcripting language section. But this is forgivable as it would make the book way bigger and much more complex to read if you a new guy trying to make a few little Deathmatch levels.
