1 comments about Turok Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Official Strategy Guide).

1. This guide is almost completely useless. I played through Turok without needing the guide and it is a good thing because the guide was poorly put together. No maps, no waypoints or landmarks to tell you where they are talking about in the game.
   The only part of the guide I liked were the weapon descriptions.
   
   I would not reccommend this guide to anyone, it is not needed to beat the game and it would be of minimal help anyway.

5 comments about Star Wars Battlefront II (Prima Official Game Guide).

1. I'm terribly sorry, but this is just one of those games that does'nt really need a guide. The layout and gameplay are simple, and the need for a walkthrough is rather moot. It is an good way to pick up odd hints or if you can't find something, but much of the info and "exclusive tips" are rather obvious. "wrap the AT-AT" or "try to get the hero". I mean, duhhhhhh. Of course you want to do those things. It's a waste of money unless you can find it dirt cheap. Save for a game instead.



2. I agree with the other guy who wrote this review also....you don't realy need the walk through part. I think that the vehicle and character descriptions are helpful though.



3. Star wars battle front 2 is a good game and the game guide is just as good.do not listen to these people.Lets say you are a jedi and lets say your mace windo.it will tell you the quickest way to kill CIS droids.This game guide gives specific details and great maps.



4. This is a simple and easy to use strategy guide. What a strategy guide should be, complete and thorough.



5. I found this manual very helpful, a nicely detailed walkthrough and maps that make sense, generally very usefull especially when you are stuck.

1. Well it was good. I wish it went into more detail like turn for turn moves, because I bought the advanced wars game one and a half months ago and I still haven't beaten the final mission (the nest). The reason I haven't beaten it is because I don't know what do buy until it's too late and the enemy has me cornered and is still making more flippin troops that I cant stop from the nest. ( I mean come on it's almost impossible because you really have to watch your every move. It will take hours to beat it "I dont have time for that")But other than that everything was spectacular the trials, the rest of the campaign missions,the fog revealingthe location of the troops.



2. The guide is like my best friend. It provides a detailed map on what the level is about and sometimes when the levels have Fog of War, they show it all without Fog of War, perfect for preparing strategies. It provided me what I needed to beat a very tough mission and now I'm ready to go through the rest of the game thanks to this. I recommend it to anyone who has yet own Days of Ruin or has a hard time with the game. 5 stars.



3. The book seems to assume you are already familiar with the game and is only fair with regard to unit details and how to use units.
   
   The majority of the book tells you in detail how to win each scenario in the campaigns. I decided it would take all the fun out of the game for me and so it seems like kind of a waste of money unless you are the kind of person who can't play a game without cheat codes.

4 comments about The Book of Games Volume 1: The Ultimate Guide to PC and Video Games (Book of Games series).

1. Based on the reviews in the book, I just found a game that is perfect for mye nephew. I'm looking forward to Volume 2



2. This book reads more like a catalog than I expected. I was hoping for a comprehensive history and documentation of video games, but instead, it feels like the same information you get from a video game review website.



3. I found this to be a really good book! Its got some really nice editorials, which most reviewers dont give to much credit for. Most of them open the book and say "Oh, its just a catalog" but if you look and read through, it has some articles about the future of gaming and research on gaming. And a quick look at video game heros.
   
   The book, has a list over major tittles of 2006, which in its self is really good, because it gives you an idea of what games you might like, if you liked a specific tittle.
   
   And Volume 2 Will be more in-depth then the first, and they are going to make a nostalgia one too! Which im looking forward too!
   
   This book is a really nice guide to parents and alike, as it gives you insite to what games are good for your children ect.



4. It has no metal gear games what so ever!!! No PS 1 no PS 2 no PSP no PS 3 no nothing!!!! And I wonder, why??? It is the greatest game ever!!!! The author is bias, he doesn't like metal gear or something...
   And the book doesn't go into an "in depth" history of video games...
   It is an ok book but I can manage without it, I have an internet connection...

5 comments about Pokemon Yellow (Prima's Official Strategy Guide).

1. Very helpful indeed. The pictures weren't so great but I got through the game fine. In record time I might add.



2. It is a very helpful guide. it helps you through pokemon yellow, red, and blue. It is well written. it also is made for: pokemon red, blue, crystal, gold and silver. it is also made for other games.



3. I love this because Pokemon Yellow is my favorite game.



4. I purchased this guide after losing the original one from 3 years ago. I found this one much more detailed and a lot more helpful. Instead of flipping around pages to find which Pokemon is caught where then flipping to another page to find out what HM's and TM's it can learn, you can get it all on the page for that Pokemon. Thanks again for another great book.

   Sincerely, Eileen Caprio

2 comments about Tales of Legendia Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames) (Bradygames).

1. BradyGAMES learned from their mistake with the Tales of Symphonia guide. The Tales of Legendia guide is helpful, detailed, and makes it a point to cover as much as possible.
   
   The guide begins with the game basics. If you're pretty new to the game, or the Tales series, the game basics will help you get on your feet and keep you from falling over. It's brutally detailed (perhaps too detailed at times). Giving you the low down from the basic controls, to the complexity of the battle system. By helping you get to know the battle system I'm not kidding. They even go as far as to show you how to get the best Grade possible!
   
   After the exhaustive game basics, we get into the characters section. Here the guide gives you the low-down on every character. All the different Eres they use, Compound Eres and all the titles they can amount to. They do this for each and every character.
   
   Afterwards we get to the walkthrough, which has shown the most improvement over the Tales of Symphonia guide. Let me first tell you that there actually ARE maps. They're pretty detailed maps too, and they're very easy to use. The walkthrough is divided into chapters. For each subsection in a chapter, there's a an objectives list. Not only do they tell you what you need to do, but they point out on the map where it is you're going to do it. The guide also has some good overall puzzle solutions and strategies. The boss strategies aren't so bad either, they work well at leading you to victory. It's also nice to see that when entering a new area they actually told you what enemies are there and they provided an HP statistic as well as weaknesses. The walkthrough is easy to use, gets to the point (most times, they do have a tendency to say things like, "There are a few story events that take place..." which is, of course something a guide shouldn't have to tell us). If you're someone who doesn't like spoilers, this guide doesn't spoil the story for you. It's a guide that tells you what to do, but is still willing to let you cross the street on your own.
   
   After the walkthrough we get into the character quests section. This section is, by and large, laid out exactly as the walkthrough. In fact, it's more or less a continuation of the walkthrough.
   
   Tales of Legendia has a ton of sidequests and this guide will help you out on all of them. While the guide doesn't really do a fantastic job of telling you just WHEN the quest is availible, it does a pretty good job giving you a basic overview of how to do it. So I forgave it in this sense.
   
   The Bestiary is where I have one of my first major gripes with the guide. If you decide to use the bestiary, there's a lot of page flipping involved. The bestiary is grouped by a monsters families. Which means it's alright when you know where to find the family, but if you don't... there's a lot of flipping to be done. The guide calls out the families at least, which is good (unlike other guides that sort of umm... forget). However, I could've been more productive with it had it been in alphabetical order.
   
   After the bestiary you've got all those appendices. Items lists, Recipes, customization and even characters skits and how to get them. They're really good overall (especially the recipes).
   
   If you're skeptical about buying this guide because of how terrible the Tales of Symphonia guide was (if you need a reminder, just check out the reviews), allow me to dispel any fear of this being a bad guide. For what it's worth, it's a good guide. It's helpful. The only REALLY big issue I had with it was that in all the detail and careful attention they gave the walkthrough and other areas... they didn't include a world map. An RPG guide does needs a world map. In a game as big as Tales of Legendia, a world map would've been very helpful. Overall, though, I was much more impressed with this guide than I thought I would be. So if you're having trouble with Tales of Legendia, grab this guide. It'll help you in the long run.



2. The Guide helped me play and enjoy the game! I hate getting stuck in a game, not knowing what to do next! This game guide helped me get past these spots!

5 comments about Parasite Eve : Official Strategy Guide.

1. This guide is pretty decent. There are a few errors in it and that is why I gave it only four stars. The strategies are very good however. There is a complete EX game strategy section included with maps. No longer will you feel like a rat in a maze. It also has the lyrics to the ending song (in Spanish though. Why didn't they translate into English?) I think that it is a good guide and if you feel you need it then get it. Bradygames does a very good job putting it's guides together and we should appreciate their hard work.



2. If you buy the game and plan on playing the 'crud' out of it, you MUST GET THIS GUIDE!!!! It has helped me so much in the regular game and the EX version! I couldn't have defeated the final boss or even the first 10 floors of the Chrysler building without it!



3. Even though the game is designed so that you don't have to use a strategy guide, it is impossible to get all the items that you'll need to survive. Use this as a reference book for any items you want, and as a help when you get stuck.



4. If you are stuck, this guide tell you everything!!! It has all the secrets and a few extra notes to make the game easier. It even makes the story easier to understand. You won't miss any item with this book.



5. I bought this strategy guide a year or so ago when I was stuck on Parasite Eve. I just needed to get past where I was, but the strategy guide gave me more than just a hint. It gave me a whole guide for this tough game, and it was very detailed and helpful! It is also just fun to look at for some Parasite Eve junkies out there. It includes boss battles, an enemy bestiary, and a guide to the EX Game and weapon enhancements. Let me say that I would have never beaten the EX Game if it wasn't for this guide! The Ex Game is also the toughest part of the game, and I don't think that it's worth fighting through. It will take weeks to complete and for only a convoluted boss battle where Aya fights Maya. But whatever the case is, this guide is great for any PE lovers out there!

3 comments about Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides).

1. I mainly bought the guid to help me better understand the synthesis (alchemy) system in the game. I was dissapointed to find it glossed over with nothing that I already hadn't figured out.



2. Very helpfull!! made the game alot funner to synthesize things and to find all the secret quests. a must buy for this game



3. This guide is not that good. The guide has complete miss information on some hints. I would not recomend this guide. It has some skills and maps but lacks any info on combining items and how to get good equipment.
