Here is what people are saying about the Get in the Game: Careers in the Game Industry

"Great Read"	2007-11-01
- Reviewed By Sean Lynott from Westminster, Colorado United States
I am a graduate advisor at Westwood College and I really enjoyed this book. Marc really knows what he is talking about and I have started recommending the book to students here at school who are looking for some guidance. While I agree with another reviewer, the resumes are all based on people with experience, if you actually read the whole book, Marc states that he does not recruit for new students or encourage them to use a recruiter. This book is designed for students and people who are looking to stay competitive in the dynamic gaming industry. Saying that Marc is just a head-hunter and doesn't know what he is talking about is also wrong, all you have to do is read his bio and the book. Well done Marc, thanks for taking the time to put this together!

"Good Information if Redundant at Times"	2005-06-21
- Reviewed By Nathan Balko from Olympia, WA USA
I will say that this book definitely has a lot of useful information for those people (like me) who are still in the process of obtaining an education and/or training. Additionally, there is a lot of useful information for people who have been in the game industry for a few years. My main problems with the book concern the numerous grammatical errors and redundant statements. I know this doesn't chiefly concern the content of the book; however, it is just kind of frustrating that at least 3 times I remember reading subsequent paragraphs that started with the same sentence or idea. It literally looks like he made two versions of the same paragraph and forgot to take the other one out! Additionally, as others have said, his job seeking tactics seem exceedingly aggressive in my opinion. Now he obviously has more experience than me. I just feel that some of the advice is over the top. I will give him credit though for forcing me to realize the opportunities available when you really really work at self-promotion. I have no problem recommending this book to others, but if you are a grammar freak like me you may have to take some deep breaths and relax before diving into it :)

"PLEASE, BUY THIS BOOK!"	2003-08-18
- Reviewed By Ronny Southwood from Northern Ireland
Ok, first off. If you want to get in to the games industry then buy this book. If you dont then you are just cheating yourself. I have learnt more from this book than all the other design books conbined. While most books seem reasonably happy to bombard you with complicated and confusing infomation, this book presents every topic very clear and concise. It takes you through all the areas of game development with great detail yet acknowledges that you are new to a lot of things and does its very best to give you a good understanding. Before reading this book I was very unclear on a lot of industry related infomation. But not now thanks to Marc Mencher acting as my personal tutor page after page. Finally I have a structured plan on how I am going to break in to the industry. Before reading Get In The Game I really had no idea of how I was going to get in to my dream job. Now however I have a great understanding of what I have to learn and everything I need to do. I now have a great degree of confidence and with Marc Mencher's advice I have began networking. I really can not think of anything negative to say about this book. Ok, so the resume section could of been a little better executed but it was there to teach you how to put together a good resume and thats what its done. On top of all that it has a very useful resource catalogue. Please for your own benefit buy this book. It will really help you. I cannot thank Marc enough for putting together this fantastic book.

"No Help To Me!"	2003-07-14
- Reviewed By Anonymous
Is there supposed to be something insightful in this book? I did not see it. Gave the book to my cousin who is mentally challenged.

"Very Bad Advice"	2003-07-13
- Reviewed By Anonymous
This is one of the worst attempts at writing a book I have ever seen, let alone writing one on getting a job in the game industry. Several people I know have used the advise from this book: one got fired outright; another ended up getting sued by his boss; a third is now an alcoholic.

"Marc's advice from this book got me a job in the industry"	2003-06-30
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
I read his book and started networking and marketing myself. 6 months later through a contact I got through networking I got a job as a Content Manager for a AAA game company. It's all who you know and how well you can network to get there. The game developers are a small tight-knit group who rely on other people's referrals. Marc's tips got me started creating a database of game developers and keeping touch with those contacts. I also redid my resume according to his advice and it really stood out. I did other things on the side: Create modifications for existing games (Unreal, Half-Life), reworked my demo reel (also using advice from Marc's book), and worked as an intern for a 3-D design company. But this book was the glue that held all those parts together. This is a great book and well worth the money. My current position can testify to that.
