★★★★☆

I absolutely loved QuickStart Guide to Game Physics! It completely changed my perspective on Game Physics. At first I wasn't sure about Motion, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Collision Detection is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Physics Engines. What I appreciated most was how the book made Simulation & Modeling feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★☆

QuickStart Guide to Game Physics offers a compelling take on Game Physics, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Simulation & Modeling is excellent, I found the sections on Physics Engines less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Physics Engines that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Simulation & Modeling more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Simulation & Modeling will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computers & Technology, if not the definitive work.
