Very disappointed. 1 out of 5 stars.

Let me just say that I loved Prima's Ruby and Sapphire guide but this guide is such a let down I can't believe I wasted my money on it. Most if not all of the maps are from Ruby and Sapphire (I compared). It doesn't give you much information either. Everything is crammed together and the things that you have to go back and do later blend into everything else so you forget to go do something after you've completed a certain task. This guide didn't help me at all. The extra information you buy guides for just wasn't there and I honestly could have just used my Ruby and Sapphire guide and it would have helped me MORE. Buy at your own risk or if you're not that interested in the game and don't care about quality.

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.

Editorial Review:

It's not the greatest guide... 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This guide will get you through the whole story, but there are quite a few mistakes that will definitely hinder you if you're trying to get every little thing the game offers. One example is the locations of the Templars on the Kingdom map vs the given screenshot examples. The screenshots are listed 1-30, but on the map, the numbers 31 and 32 appear while 23 and 24 don't exist. With this mistake in place it causes a major mismatch with the numbers to the screenshots. It took me a long time to figure out what was happening and even longer to correct the mistakes. Guides are supposed to help you on your missions and quests and this one didn't do a very good job. Instead of having fun, I became quite frustrated only because the guide was not carefully put together.

And for those who did buy this guide and happen to read this, one other notable mistake on the Kingdom Map for the location of King Richard's Flag, is that there are two number 30s and no number 67. The number 30 on the top right of the map is supposed to be number 67.

Editorial Review:

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted!

• Tours of each city explore every peak and street, and give you a road map for mastering the Assassin's Creed world.
• Labeled maps detail flags, targets, side quests, and templar locations.
• Detailed target walkthroughs let you take to the roofs, sneak through the crowd, and rush in for the kill.

Pokemon Fire Red & Leaf Green (Prima Official Game Guide) 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

the guide is full of typos and misinformation. the pokedex in the back is very weak. it shows no stats for any pokemon. it only has what moves they learn (of which many of them are typos) it also doesn't have what a nature does to a pokemon. (in other words, it doesn't tell what stat a nature hurts and helps) it also is missing a list of all the moves in the game. it only has the 50 TMs, but the other moves (non TM and HM) are not in the book. i have to use 2 other guides to make up for this. the only use for this guide is to find items, however, it's not worth it since there is no other information what-so-ever.
