While QuickStart Guide to Game Physics makes several valuable points about Unreal Engine, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Physics Engines seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Unreal Engine. That said, the sections on Realism are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Game Development, this could be a truly outstanding work.

QuickStart Guide to Game Physics is a comprehensive exploration of Game Physics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of Unreal Engine is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with QuickStart Guide to Game Physics, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Simulation made everything click for me. I've been struggling with Simulation for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Game Development - it reminded me so much of my own experience with Simulation. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

As a scholar in Game Physics, I found QuickStart Guide to Game Physics to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Unreal Engine is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Simulation, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Motion. While some may argue that Realism, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Game Physics.
