Useless. Is this suppose to be a players guide? It's just a book of unwieldy maps with a short description of each location in the game. It also has a short description of all the quests. Is that what a player wants? I want a list of all the quest givers, trainers, and sellers in the game so I can check them off as I encounter them and keep them organized. I want a list of all the transports and where they go. How about all the alters and what effects they have. I want something to help me keep organized while playing, not a cheaters guide. And it even does poorly at that as location/quest descriptions are too short to be useful.

A guide to match the game...in both good and bad respects. 3 out of 5 stars.

When I first heard of a strategy guide for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, I admit it: I was skeptical. How can a game with over three hundred side quests and thousands of possible permutations ever hope to be condensed into a strategy guide?

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Morrowind guide was much more helpful than I thought it'd be. Once you figure out what region you're in (for me, the hardest part; one gray, stony, Cliff Racer-laden mountain range looks much like another), it's a simple matter of flipping through to that region, pinpointing your location, and going from there. Quests are laid out in an amusing fashion, with a sense of humor sadly lacking in the game itself. Let's face it: as much fun as Morrowind is, the backstory and dialogue unfortunately tend to read like high school history class.

There are problems and omissions, unfortunately. The lack of a comprehensive list of spells or schools of magic can be frustrating, and the black and white illustrations make it hard to make out one person or place from another. (Tongue-twisting names like Asharnabibi, Zaintairis, or my personal favorite, Addadshashanammu, don't help either.) Still, it serves as a good guideline for where to go and what to do in a game where the "objective" part is pretty darn sketchy.

All in all, 3.5 out of 5 stars. A good investment if you're REALLY lost.

Editorial Review:

Really good guide with an amazing presentation 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I haven't got in the need to use this guide as much as I thought, which is good, but in some parts of the game it was really useful. The presentation is amazing and the art in it is worth the price of the guide.

Excelent!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Its a really complete step by step guide including ALL screens of the full path to get this game finished with all possible credits. It's AMAZING. No way to get lost in this game using this book. It's like a person who has already finished that game showing you all the solutions for this puzzle.

Looks Fantastic, Reads Fluently! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was a fantastic Wii title. It contained a wonderful universe to explore and an innovative control scheme that feels comfortable. The bar was raised a little higher for the author of the strategy game. I'm pleased to see that David Knight met the bar, and exceeded.

PROS

+ It has an outstanding overall appearance and design.
+ It is thorough and presents an easy strategy to collect 100% on.
+ The boss strategies are thorough.
+ It contains all item locations
+ The maps are beautiful, have great keys and are easy to follow.

CONS

- The appendices don't contain enough information, and are tad bit confusing.
- The scan appendix has the scans in order of appearance, but not in the same order the game has them in (alphabetical) making you do a bit more searching.
- Not enough little tricks and tips, and no Hyper difficulty tips.

APPEARANCE - A

The guide itself looks fantastic. The cover has a wonderful shine and texture. The overall design of the guide is beautiful, and matches the game very well. The maps also look wonderful.

STRATEGY - A-

The strategy is wonderful and actually tells you how to obtain 100% through the game. The Notes and Item boxes are great, and it divides each section for you to follow easily. The boss strategies are great, but they don't really have the small tricks and tips that make them so much easier. There aren't any tips for Hyper difficulty.

APPENDICES, CONTROLS AND CONTENTS - B

The table of contents are clear and well divided. The controls are thorough and teach well. The real problem lies in the Appendix section. It is a good appendix, but it's also confusing. The order of the scans are out of order from the in-game's list of scans. If you are missing scans in the game, you have to actually read through your scans and find the one you are missing. The Pickups section also has all of the different pickup types compiled together. It would be nicer if the Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions and Energy Cells were in separate lists. It is still a nice deep appendix through.

OVERALL - A-

This is one of the best game guides I own. I'm a bit harsh sometimes when it comes to reviews, so an A- is a great rating. It is highly recommended that you get this guide if you own the game. Even if you've beaten the game, and know it inside and out, the guide is still a blast to look through.

STOP YOUR WHINNING!!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

It looks like I will never have to look anything up on the internet for this game. as for everyone complaning there is no index they must not have looked through it good enough. if you check the very last page there is a content page with page numbers for each task, equipment, moves and abilities, characters, enemies, bosses, overworld maps, enviromental effects, weapons,dungeon and the legendary checklist. though even if it did not its nothing to cry about b/c the guides so straight forward that you should not even need any help.sure there is alot of content and going through it all is exausting but its better to be exausted then to be lost and miss something. XD

An Extended Manual to a great game 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Now here's an extended manual we can all love.

Prima has always been very classy about their guides, even including a few shakey no-no's(initial guide's were not binded very well) they've always managed to put their own personal touches into certain guides, as if to let us now that this is one they enjoyed playing immensely.

Though it does NOT include the Shivering Isle's strategy this is STILL a great purchase for those picking up the game. One of the few guides that help in varying approaches to enemies and bosses.

Economical choice 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This set is a good buy when you consider the cost of buying the bigger ones separately. Although this saves time and trees, I do wish the words were in a bigger print size. None-the-less, as an avid player, I use these books a lot.

Small books, really small print! 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This set of books are small, smaller than a small paperback novel. I wish I had known how small these books were and how small the print is. Too small for me to read easily. Not a good purchase in my opinion. Not enough info to know the size of the print. Might have been nice to see an actual preview of the print inside.

Print too small 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is probably helpful for a lot of people, but I'm used to the bigger Prima Guides. The print is just too small for me.
