Mega Man X Official Complete Works HC Capcom Books Reviews
Has good illustrations. But I wish it had as much content as the regular Mega Man Complete Works art book. It does have less content, but I mainly wish it had the profile views section, which Mega Man did have. If you could only get one of the books, get the regular Mega Man one instead. I still like the book and will be keeping it, it is still an above average quality art book. I was expecting more of Mega Man Official Complete Works 2.0 with this art book, it was not advertised as such and so I cannot really complain about it.
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.

This is something that's worth having in print (I tend to be a junkie with the kindle). The artwork is superb and the creators of this series really outdid themselves.
Megaman!
Heck yeah
I've been a Mega Man fan since the Nintendo days, but I became a HUGE Mega Man fan once I played Mega Man X on the SNES! This book gives lots of info on the series direct from it's creators! It's full of cool facts, amazing art both concept and final artworks used in the game, and pretty much everything else you could ask for involving the 'X' series! I love it!
This book MUST be in the collection of any Mega Man fan (X series or even of the original series), so buy it for yourself or knock a friend or family member whose a fan of the games off their feet with it as a gift!
This thing is chock full of information, art, and commentary. It's really cool! There's a lot of blurbage from Inafune and you can see and feel how much love he put into the X series (until 6, hah). Any Megaman X fan is sure to love and enjoy this. It packs so much into a 144 pager! I highly recommend getting it with Mega Man Official Complete Works, as originally they were part of the same book, like other reviewers have said.
ARTWORK!!
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, 's price beats anyplace else you'll find this great book
