I have read around 10 books on game development (and watched or listened to several presentations) at this point, and am in the process of making my first game. I gave this book five stars for its value to me, especially in terms of how the various aspects of game documentation can useful in both clarifying your own thoughts and explaining your game to others. By documentation I mean various summaries that describe things like plot, dialogue/narrative, game play, back story, etc. Simply discussing these topics gave me additional game ideas and ways to conceptualize what I was doing in game design and what I should be doing. I would generally agree with the reviewer who said "beginner to intermediate," although I know from experience that people have widely differing ways of creating and promoting their works, and I could see an advanced game developer who didn't much like writing things down learning from this. I have not seen this topic area (game development documentation) treated with the depth and interesting discussion that this book contains.
The writing is very clear, although there is definitely repetition in places--nothing I couldn't skip over a few pages to get past. The specific games that are discussed are dated, but as usual, there are concepts and lessons that the developers (like Chris Crawford) offer in their interviews that are applicable to most games, and are also very interesting if you haven't seen their interviews before. I happen to be writing a branching choice scifi adventure game, so the discussion of the author's development of his branching choice adventure game was very helpful for me.
All in all, highly recommended.

The balance of this book is excellent. It's helping me learn to think like a game designer, nit just a programmer & game player with good ideas. There's a lot of helpful knowledge and experience out there, and this is like a cheat code to unlock better game design.

This book is entertaining as well as informative. Not only will you receive an introduction to every aspect of game design, but you will also come away from this book with a very important perspective on the history of video and computer games. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to design computer games.

DID YOU KNOW THAT CENTIPEDE IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE!? OR THAT TETRIS IS THE SECOND BEST GAME EVER MADE I COULD GO ON AND ON WITHOUT PUNCUATION OR PROPER SENSE ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS BOOK IS! IF IT WAS A VIDEO GAME IT MIGHT BE THE 3RD BEST GAME EVER MADE EVAR!

SO GREAT THAT I SEEM INCAPABLE OF GETTING OUT OF CAPS LOCK!

Each of the chapters of this book fall into one of three categories: an interview with a prominent game designer, an analysis of a successful game, or a discussion of game design principles. Each is valuable for different reasons, so I'd like to review each of them separately.
The interviews are interesting, and go into much greater depth than most interviews you see. As a result, you're able to get a good idea of how each designer approaches the game design process, which can be useful in analyzing your own methods.
The chapters analyzing games focused on a single game, but also looked at similar games in the genre. If you're an aspiring game designers, you'll benefit from these chapters. Partially because you will see what these games did well, but moreso because they will encourage you to analyze the design aspects of the games you're playing to see what they do right, what they do wrong, and how you can apply that to your own designs.
About half of the chapters of the book cover various aspects of game design, presenting the author's own theories about what's important, what isn't, and the things you should be thinking about. It's hard to review the value of this; some of it you'll agree with, and some of it you may not. Depending on your degree of experience, some of it may be obvious, some of it may be new, and some of it may help you focus on areas you've been neglecting.
Overall, I wouldn't consider this book a must-have, but if you're interested in becoming a well-rounded and successful game designer, there's a lot in here that will be of value to you.
