Better Than Nothing... But Not By Much 2 out of 5 stars.
28 of 30 people found this review helpful.

This is a Prima Guide, so one expects it to have some errors and oversights. In the past, one could always turn to Nintendo Power for higher quality guides, but now that the NP guides are no longer made, we're stuck with Prima. This guide is a good example of why I never have liked to buy Prima guides.

Let's start with the good news. The Dungeon pages in this guide do list info about things such as item and level restrictions. The color coding for different sections of the Pokedex is nice. Also, this guide does have a full Pokedex complete with numerical lv. 1 stats, however, it does NOT list every place that the Pokemon can be found (it only tells one place), and the footprints (useful for the Sentry minigame) are not listed either.

Now for the bad news. The data sections (from the quiz at the start of the game to the item tables) are not alphabetized, a fact that makes the tables needlessly hard to use. The item tables do not list the selling price of items. There is no list of Wonder Mails so you can get the Pokemon exclusive to each version. Don't expect to find suggested partners for each starter, either. The Dungeon overview pages will not tell you what items to expect to find in each dungeon, so you either have to guess or keep your own notes. The basic strategy info on Pokemon moves from each Dungeon is pretty useless. While the info is true, I think most Pokemon fans already know this. I would have much rather seen level ranges of Pokemon within the dungeon and a list of items found therein (as well as rarities), instead of useless info about the moves of Pokemon in the dungeon. Also, I dislike that the Recommended Path for the game was placed in front of the the Game Mechanics section. It would make more sence to place it between the Game Mechanics and Walkthrough sections, making it harder to ruin the story for yourself when you flip to the Game Mechanics section for a particular piece of info.

In short, my advice is to skip this guide and print off a decent walkthrough from a free site. This game has no significant maps, and the only grapical data you might actually need (the footprints) is absent from this guide anyway. With the non-alphabetized data sections, those who own this guide will likely find themselves printing off needed info from an online walkthrough anyway.

A side note for those who don't know what a game guide is (and think that perhaps it is a book about Pokemon for kids to read): A game guide (a.k.a. Strategy Guide) is a publication that is supposed to tell everything about a game. It is useful for choosing strategies and completing every aspect of a game, but it is not a story book. It is more akin to an Atlas or Encyclopedia and is typically used as reference by serious players. While it does require some reading skills, it is only useful to those who have a copy of the games (which games also require reading skills).

My nephew is really happy to receive this book. There was one part in the game that he could not work out so I found this book on amazon and I brought it for him. He can now fine the answers to the hard parts that are in the game.

Just used it for a few things, then gave in! 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This guide book, really doesn't supply the day-to-day stratergies that hard-core gamers want, in fact I just find this guide useless, I just bought it for the Secrets and The Target Test statergies, everything was BS to me. Especially the Character Rankings, SERIOUSLY, it gives JigglyPuff a better rating than Pikachu (Yes I love Pikachu), the guy that wrote this book stuck to his Stratergies, and other stuff. Also the guy who wrote this book is a critic, the rankings he gave for the character are terrible, and he gave Marth a 9, all the other characters he gave 8 or lower. Alot of the Stratergies don't even deplete my Grandmother's playing styles, and alot of it is just bad detailed info, I only found atleast 3-5 things helpful and that's it. It says "Detailed Information On How To Get 100% On Subspace Emminasary", yeah right. Where are the freaking maps? I would also like to have a damage list on the average base of damage is. I really hate the rankings. IMO this book will only supply you with recycled and old Stratergies, i'd suggest go to Youtube.com and look up videos for Stratergies. Other than that this book is useless. 2/5

Most of the info in the book seems to be accurate. There are a couple spots in the game that I had to look some manuevers up online because the book either wasn't clear or omitted certain instructions. Again, for the most part the book is a lifesaver! :-)

This book is great it gives the low down on all badies and stats about each character. It even tells you how you should use each character in battle.

Best Sonic Guidebook EVER! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I recommend this guide book even if you're a person who doesn't use it. It has good pictures, a list of all the Chao and some of them which you can only get in certain conditions, character stats, and how to beat certain bosses It also recommends which team you should use and why. For example, your first battle with Imperator Ix, it says what unless you use certain characters, it will be a difficult match. For example, the guidebook says that the easiest way to defeat Ix is to use a team of Sonic, Tails, Dr. Eggman and Omega. Sonic can be used to both heal the party and dish out a fair amount of damage to the boss. Since he always attacks first, he is crucial. Eggman can be used to attack all three enemies with Bombardment because he can kill Ix's men in two hits if his attack is level 3. Omega can be used to attack Ix directly because all of his attacks do mega damage to one opponent and Ix is the big threat. Tails is used to heal both HP and PP to two party members per turn and then use other moves to increase the defense or increase the number of turns one can attack after that. The boss will probably be dead though if you can input all the commands on the touch screen.

Sure the guidebook forgets to add certain things on the map which is very detailed and accurate if you want to get every ring and Chao Eggs in the game. Getting rings in the game is important because not only do you need them to buy items from the stores, but you need them in order to continue your game. If you have no rings when your party dies, you probably have to start all over from chapter 1. This might be false though as I have not gotten a game over yet. Who would want to get a game over anyway? As for Chao Eggs, they are important to the game too because they give the character a special ability when bonded with the Chao itself. While it may be annoying to get a common chao, you might get lucky and get a unique or rare chao. If you decided to help Cream in chapter 3, you automatically get her Chao Cheese which is one of the best Chaos in the game, increases the chance of an ambush and a critical enemy.

This is the reason why I recommend the guidebook. With it, you can get so much detailed information. You even get notes on what the creators of the game think and their strategies that provide helpful hints. You won't even need an FAQ online if you have this guide book. So if you're stuck, get this prima guide before it disappears because that happened with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle strategy guide!
