While Game Physics: A Practical Introduction makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to simulation. That said, the sections on games are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in physics, this could be a truly outstanding work.

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

Game Physics: A Practical Introduction is a comprehensive exploration of simulation that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of simulation 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 the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
