1. I recently picked up this guide to compliment my purchase of the game Viewtiful Joe and this is what I think of it. As I first opened it I noticed it is very colorful which is a great thing and the guide was very helpful. The only cons are that it is very thin with 112 pages. I was dissapointed at how short the secrets section was though. Overall, I'd say any Joe fan that needs help to beat that hard boss or just to read it for fun should pick it up because it is very colorful and detailed.

1. The strategy guide was perfect.I liked the service.The only problem was that My order did not come when it was supposed to.I called them back and they resent out the item.I recieved only one of the copies of the strategy guide.



2. My son could not beleive I found this strategy guide plus the game! He really enjoys it! He says it is very informative and helps him a lot with the game.

5 comments about City of Villains Binder (Prima Official Game Guide).

1. Before ordering the guide I thought it was a great idea to be in binder format so that I could add my own stuff to it as well. Upon receiving it however I've changed my mind. Not only is the binder cheap in its construction, it is awkward to boot!
   
   I was disappointed with the content as well... I don't think it gave me anything new of any substance; it is basically a rehash of everything that is either in the CoV manual or online in the official forums.
   
   Quite some time ago when I bought City of Heroes (just before release), I also ordered the Prima guide for it... although a lot of the information was basic, it was hands down better than the CoV binder guide!



2. "When major updates or new Issues are released, Prima will release new, punched Update Packs for your binder." Or so says the product description above...not going to happen.
   
   Prima has made it clear that they will NOT be printing the updates for purchase - they will only be available for download (at no cost) from their site. Which is all fine and dandy, but to print that "free" download on your own and at your own expense in full color would be so cost prohibitive that it makes the whole binder system obsolete. (In fact, one person on the City of Heroes forums burned the file to CD and took it to their local major copy shop, who promptly quoted them a price over $200.00 to print in color.)
   
   So, it was a great dream while it lasted...and the cries of woe from disgruntled customers have fallen on Prima's deaf ears...



3. Cryptic/NCSoft have issued the latest update as an e-guide, and have stated that they have decided against the binder update format. So it's pointless paying more for this than the usual cost of a strategy guide.



4. As with the City of Heros book this one was a great idea and then Prima in their great marketing skills decided to not print updates for customers. My children love the book and use it constantly, but now that a new update is out it is getting out dated. Don't buy it because you can't print the updates at a reasonable cost.



5. Thank God, I didn't pay more than $5.00 for this binder. This item is pure garbage.

1. Why would you need a guide for Luigi's Mansion. It's not that hard of a game. Trust me. It is a great game. but u don't need to waste 15$ on a guide? if you really need it u can get it for free on the internet. Go to videogames.com. The only reason I give it 2 stars instead of a big ZERO is because of the MAPS AND THE PICS you can hang in your room if you are a Luigi Freak!!!



2. I Can't believe this! Prima has always been very helpful, but I practically AM a strategy guide for this game. But, hey, if you REALLY DESPERATELY need help, go ahead. I put 5 stars because i mean NEGATIVE 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a trick!!!!!

1. You definitely have to read the book: Excellent maps of every town and dungeon, beginners tips, tables.... BUT: A little bit old infos sometimes..you have to check out the www to be up to date, too.



2. This guide is good only for people who are TOTALLY new to ANY role-playing game at all. For example, it explains that you should not attack creatures unless you know you can kill it. It had showed one person who told the book they had a 5% archery skill and decided to attack the bird only to get killed by IT! Well duh! I never even played the game, but I would know 5% archery must mean something like 5% chance to hit a immobile target, forget about a small quick flying target! The book has NO MONSTER AND ANIMAL stats at all! They're version of "stats" is something like: Orc, medium-low difficulty, carries food and little gold. I was expecting the hit points, mana, strength, ect and such. The book also has NO pictures except for the maps of dungeons and towns. The town maps are great, but the dungeon maps are not. Sure, the dungeon maps are detailed about where the paths and walls are, but nothing else like: pit trap here, and, dont step here, will kill you. I only give this book a two star for people with no role-playing experince at all, I never played the game and I still know better for most of the info. No offense to the burning heart guild though, they are gamers not writers.



3. I have gotten all of the strategy books for UO and have been playing for 2 years now. This book is a total waste of time. It is more of a story than it is a strategy and tip book. Once again, this is a waste of time. Stick to the 2 other books.



4. This was a very good book. They lots of good info on the game. Things change quick when there is a new patch every month, but you could go to their Website and get the UPDATED info! Now they just got lazy, and decided not to update it anymore. Now it is as old and worthless as the official guide.



5. Anywhere you look in this book at battle, they tell you to run away if your not sure you can kill it. How will you ever know if you don't try? What fun can you be if you don't take chances and get a backbone already? Sure, I've been killed by liches and reapers, but the lizard men and orcs were just as "scary" and if I ran away from them, I would never had taken the chance, I wouldn't have had as many gains in my stats and as much gold. I would get the official Prima books if I were you.
