- I appriceated the way it tells you how to get out of a fix. It explains for example that when you climb twinpeak mountain to find Jon it explains the directions. Some guids just say climb twinpeak and go to Jon. But I wish it would give better atack stratagies and not just say how to defeat the foe.

- The game is good and this guide make it perfect.

3 comments about Dark Age of Camelot: Epic Edition (Prima Official Game Guide).
- What a mess this guide is! Text is muddy and on newsprint style paper. Where previous guides had Color Maps, all these are poor black & white copies. Maps of old regions are one-sixth page and totally useless. Old region maps are all mislabled! This guide is total junk. Find and buy the original guides if you must have guides. For sure, you will be sending this one back as soon as you get a look at it.
- Pros: Instead of having numerous stradegy guides (as Prima has released one for each individual DAOC update)...this Epic book will allow you to have it all in one spot.
Book contains many MANY charts filled with plenty of infomation to keep number crunchers happy.
Book also contains lots of lists and explinations of Epics and Chamption Quests and Trials and what you get from them. Also mentions in detail about Artifacts.
Cons: The book is really not complete. Off the top of my head... I see nothing mentioned about kill tasks or trophy hunting. Prima got chart happy, but they forgot about a few charts that would have been incredibly useful. So I'm still stuck jumping back and forth between the game and some web sites out there that DO have such charts. Oh well.
If your a beginner, this book doesn't give you a lot of nity grity BASICS. Like....ooooh, I dunno...how to use the quick bars and how to change your chat menus and what all of the buttons do on your in-game windows. This may sound nity-picky, but if a beginner buys this book expecting it to tell them everything they need to know.... they will be soarly diappointed.
I've found errors. I'm somewhat new to DAoC, incomparion to those players that have been with the game for years.... and even I found errors in some of the character builds they put in here. They try to give you a general run down of how you should build your toon (how many points to train up into your specs), but reading some online message boards on the game would probably give you a more accurate starting point. Example at hand: i don't know anyone who would put less than 50 into the flex spec of a heretic. This book tells you to go with 25... and doesn't even give you an example build of someone who went with crush instead! (major DAoC players will be laughing right now...trust me.)
This book completely lacks a guide to crafting. It mentions what each race can choose as their craft...but thats about it.
Nothing really mentioned about housing.
Maps are kind of scattered about the book. Some are very vague and general pictures of areas.
Newspaper-type quality paper used.
No extra pages in back to write your own notes.
Slash command lists are useful.... but INCOMPLETE.
Really does not give you an overview of what each toon-types roll in the game or in a group is. Previous prima guides I have bought for RPG games have done a much better job.
QUESTION TO PRIMA: You just released 3-hole binder edition books for COH AND COV (city of heroes/villians)....this inables you to update the books easily by releasing addition pages to fit in the binder as opposed to creating entirely new books. For forever-updating online RPG games this has been your best idea yet. Absolutley great idea... BUT....why on earth wouldn't you do that for DAoC as well?!!?? DAoC is a content-heavy online RPG game, as well. Many of the above problems are things that were probably just overlooked or forgotten. They could have been fixed with re-released of pages or additional sections. But now, you cannot do that since this books is a bound edition.
Disappointed. Very disappointed.
- This book did not include the detail that I would have liked. The newer information was fairly detailed.

1 comments about Jade Cocoon 2: Prima's Official Strategy Guide.
- Eh.. i regret buying this guide. For one thing, Almost everything in the game is randomized. Dungeons, Items, Jobs, etc. So all this guide gives you are vague descriptions of the way the game works, and maps that are ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE GAME. There aren't many tips or suggestions on how to raise your beasts, or what combos are effective (which i felt would've really been useful for the walkthrough) Also, there aren't any pictures of the divine beasts (which irritated me) and here's the worst.. plot spoilers! Ahh!
Now this guide really isn't rotten.. this game is just the sort that in execution, a guide really isn't effective. There are some mildly useful tips, item lists, and boss strategies, but that's it.

1 comments about Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (Prima's Official Strategy Guide).
- This "strategy" guide is mostly maps and a very high level walk-thru.
I own multiple guide from Prima and are normally very happy with their products, but
This one is a disappointment.
My advice - Don't waist you money on this guide.

1 comments about Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven Official Strategy Guide.
- With the release of Tenchu/Wrath Of Heaven on PS2, Brady Games has done it again with another great official strategy guide. Whether you play as Ayame or Rikimaru (or even the unlockable character Tesshu), this book will keep you in the game. The chapters are broken down as follows : Game Basics; Characters & Their Tactics; Rikimaru's Walkthrough; Ayame's Walkthrough; Tesshu's Walkthrough; Multiplayer; and Secrets. This guide is full of maps, screenshots, and even some cool artwork. A must have for any Tenchu fan.
