5 comments about Tekken 3 (Prima's Official Strategy Guide).

1. After I read this book, it left a lot to my mind. There was SOME strategy, but not very much per character. Ben Cureton's, Versus Books', and IGN's guide were much better done, and they were all written by Tekken experts (especially Cureton, who is a three-time national Tekken champ). This book could have been written by my ten-year old brother. Avoid this and buy either BradyGame's book or (better yet) Versus Book's.



2. Boy, was I disappointed. This "strategy guide" had NO strategy. Heck, it didn't even have a good layout for the moves!! I bought this book for the characters exclusive to the PlayStation version, hoping for a COMPLETE moves list for them, but of course, I was wrong. It didn't even have combos, and what they passed off as combos were actually the 10-strings that are already in the game! The strategy disgraces the genius of Tekken! I could probably beat Simon Hill because the Versus Books strategy guide was actually a strategy guide! And that strategy guide was actually made by national Tekken champs!

   Don't get this strategy guide. The best parts of the book are ones you can glance through when you're sitting down reading it in the newstand. The artwork (4 measly pieces that you can download) and the history of Namco are the only things going for it.




3. The guide for tekken 3 could have been better. They spent lots of time with the photos, but some of the moves were either wrong or incomplete(paul's tackle to choke move). King's links could have been explained better, and there is lack of actual combos for all the characters. I enjoyed brady's guide better.



4. This game I give a rating out of ten, 20. I've had it since 1999 and its now past half way through 2001. If you like martial art style games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, this puts them to shame. The first time I played Tekken, I was hooked, and I had a ps by the time Tekken2 was released, I couldnt help my self, and when Tekken3 came out, I was almost sick of the tekken saga, until I baught it, and trust me, it was well and truly worth the wait. The mixture of global martial art styles was a delight. From Brazilian Capoeira to Japanese Manji and Chinese styles of all kinds. Not only were these styles accurately named and studied, but Namco still added more, thousands, literaly thousands of unmentioned and unlisted moves to give the game far more life. Every character you unlock also unlocks hours more. The modes available make the game interesting, and again, more life is added per mode you unlock. The realistic movement and 3d envirenment lift the game into a higher light, where as in MK4 it is still 3d, but there is no sidesteps, various combos, throws and power moves as opposed to Tekken3. Survival mode means you can never stop improving and the endings are humourus, exiting and thought provoking.

   To put it short, Tekken3 is brilliant, the only flaw is that there arent enough stages in Force mode. 200% rating from me

   This man has never read the book. This book has EVERY move availble to the characters. Some characters span several pages more than others (Lei Wulong). It tells strategies on how to beat EVERY other character in the game. This guy must not of bothered to open the book.

2 comments about Tekken's Nina Williams In: Death by Degrees(tm) Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames)).

1. Death By Degrees Official Strategy Guide is a full-color, in-depth video game guidebook to the recently released game "Death by Degrees", exclusively for the Sony Playstation 2 entertainment system. Death by Degrees is a unique action game starring the blonde, beautiful, and utterly lethal female assassin Nina Williams, known among fans as the bone-breaking mistress of martial arts in Namco's wildly popular "Tekken" fighting game series. "Death by Degrees" takes place before Tekken 1, and follows Nina on her mission for the CIA, with Nina's equally deadly half-sister Anna and the enigmatic millionaire mogul Heihachi also making an appearance. Death By Degrees Official Strategy Guide goes into explicit detail concerning the control system (which relies almost entirely upon the analog joysticks of the PS2 controller), the strengths and weaknesses of various power-ups, ideal strategies and tactics, and a mission-by-mission walkthrough to aid the neophyte gamer or allow a veteran who has already beaten the game once to discover every last hidden secret. Appendices allow for quick and easy lookup of the requirements to earn extra rewards and unlock hidden artwork pictures after the main mission is complete. Completely living up to the high BradyGames standard for its video game guidebooks, Death By Degrees Official Strategy Guide is the perfect companion for anyone seeking to get the most out of this exciting, action-packed game.



2. If you like fighting and hot blonde girls you will love this game and this guide; a must for who use Nina in Tekken series! In fact you will find lots of fight moves that you will surely recognise!

1. After playing for many hours I turned to the guide and the game was now fun to play. I have several Prima game guides and every one have made it possible for me to enjoy the game. Remember it is a game.

2 comments about The Official Doom Survivor's Strategies & Secrets.

1. Doom simply rules. It is like that. Quake is bigger,harder,and better,but still. Doom...rules.



2. I must have spent agonizing hours testing this brick and that, every shadow and every possible doubling back pattern. No stone unturned (usually to turn on me). I died a thousand deaths. This book could have saved the agony of defeat and turned it into the thrill of victory. Unlike the brave man I may not have died at all. More than Strategies & Secrets there are patterns and special keys.

   Thank you Jonathan Mendoza for helping us Survive!

3 comments about EverQuest: The Planes of Power (Prima's Official Strategy Guide).

1. The "Luclin" EQ guide (this guide's predecessor) was worse than the "Kunark" guide (the definitive EQ guide), and this is still worse. Rather than updating and cosolidating the comprehensive "Kunark" Guide and adding the new Planes of Power info, the authors hastily slapped together bits of information and added some old maps and some lines on race/level questions. The new info bits exhaust themselves with some of the new beyond-level-60 spells, 2 maps of new zones and some random quests. Not worth the money.



2. This book really isn't bad; it just seems so incomplete.

   It really does a good job of describing the changes to game that Planes of Power provides. All the level 60 plus spells are listed along with the high level disciplines. And the map section is useful, being limited to "lowbie" areas outside the major cities; occasionally handy to have all in one place. There is a decent description of many of the "new" planes, with a listing of monsters.

   It is not, however, a complete, "latest and greatest" reference to the Everquest game. In my opinion, an up-to-date, complete reference is sorely needed.




3. While this book is very informative with learning the trade skills and the elements required to help your skills. I was very disappointed that it was not like the other strategy guides in that it had all the spells for the classes in it including all the new ones. It only listed the higher level spells and my old book is outdated. It would have been nice to have all the books combined into 1.
