Great Guide Book!!! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this guide book to see what advantages I could gain from it. This book has many details about the guns, maps, bomb locations, flag locations, weapons classes, and it has walkthroughs of all the levels. If you are like me and love reading anything about the game when you are not playing or want to just get the extra advantage of your opposition, then you need this book! I rarely buy guide books for games and took a chance on buying this one...it paid off for sure!!!

Poorly done for a Tales Guide 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This guide is not the best Tales guide I have seen-and I have played most all of the games. Yes it has a basic walkthrough, and gives you some of the quest information. Many of the sidequests-most notably the ones with Richtor-have been omitted from the guide. There is not even a separate quests section-which is how it was done for most of the other Tales games. While the bestiary does contain all of the monsters, there is no information on the evolution of these monsters. The guide would have been much better if it included the evolutionary paths for the various monsters in the game-as the evolution of these monsters is an important factor of the game. Get the guide if you want tips on boss battles, help with the game's various puzzles-it details those out fairly well-or if you want to be able to check on where to go next. Otherwise it is not that helpful.

It's not just a Pokedex... 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

WOW! This is the best guide for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl by FAR! It's not just a Pokedex, but rather much more! It not only contains information on 490 Pokemon, (Yes, 490, unfortunatly it lacks total information on Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus) but it also has CRUCIAL information about what to do after you've beaten the Pokemon League. Up to that point, it's all easy, just go along with the story. BUT once you've beaten the Pokemon League, everything in the game suddenly becomes unclear. You might KNOW there's more legendaries to catch, but you might not know where. (For Example, I had not the First Clue about going to Turnback Cave for Giratina, but when I got the guide, It led me straight there!) You might KNOW about the Battle Tower, but not who the Tower Tycoon is and when you battle him. You might KNOW about Cresselia and Fullmoon Island, but not how to get there or what to do once you've seen Cresselia. You might KNOW about Pokemon, but not at what exact level they evolve, or what exact level they learn a specific move, or if they learn it at all. All this is CRUCIAL information that you will find EXCLUSIVELY in this guide. And that's not it, either. In case you don't know which region a Pokemon is from, there is a Table of Contents in Alphabetical order at the VERY BEGINNING, making it extremely easy to find pokemon. Also, a 2 page map containing all of Sinnoh as well as the names of all the cities and places of interest. Also tells you all of the items you may find in a certain place, AND information on EVERY ROUTE AND CAVE about things you can do there BEFORE AND AFTER beating the Pokemon League, again, more CRUCIAL information EXCLUSIVE to this guide. And again, there's more-you can find information on EVERY HM and TM in the back of this book, as well as all the contest moves, items, where to get every TM, where to get each item, and a Pokemon Weakness easy look-up chart with the weaknesses AND RESISTANCES of all 490 pokemon, (yes, remember? 490...Arceus, Darkrai, and Shaymin were unknown when this guide was released) and information about where to capture any Pokemon in the Pal Park, with a detailed map of it, and how rare they will be, aka how much time it will take to catch them, prizes at the Pal Park, etc. ALL CRUCIAL INFORMATION. Also tells you where to catch ANY pokemon in the game, (as long as you CAN catch it) INCLUDING what route for Pokeradar, and descriptions to every pokemon from both Diamond and Pearl. Also a comparison of the few pokemon you can't catch in Diamond, and of the few you can't catch in pearl, as well as the list of the 50 pokemon you can not catch in Sinnoh at all, (Previous starters and legendaries, event pokemon, with a FEW unexpected ones; Tropius and Tangela...) a berrydex, all pokemon abilities and what they do, pokemon personalities, natures, what wild pokemon hold what item, A TON of information on the Underground, and that's just the Pokemon Data Lookup section of the book! There's still the Capture Guide, which is about 2 times as thick, and the Post-Game Scenario! This book is a MUST For Diamond and Pearl Fans!

Editorial Review:

* Fully details all 482 + available Pokemon. Providing stats, levels, learned moves, and more.
* Exclusive Poster - The Pokédex will include an exclusive poster for fans.
* Strategy Included - In addition to complete information for each individual Pokémon, this guide will include strategy for keeping, collecting, and raising the creatures in your collection.

A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I just got this book a few weeks ago. I've had Oblivion since I bought my 360 and this is one of they best RPG games of all time. The game is a must own. The game is massive, The biggest game world i've ever seen before. So of course if the game is massive your going to need a book that has easy to read conetnt, Lots of Maps,detailed information on the weapons, items, spells, potions, monsters ETC. This is the book!!!!!!! It has everything you need to know about playingt Oblivion. It even helps you make your character. Kind of like when you make your character in Dungeons and Dragons. It tells you how to maximize your character to the fullest even before you start your adventure. The overall walkthrough is amazing!!!! The book even tells you where to get started on your quest. Who to talk to if your doing a freedom quests or how to join the drak brotherhood and it even suggests who to kill so you don't mess up your game later on. It's a must have if you love this game. It will not just get you through that rough spot but it opens up all the possibilities that the game offers you. It opens up all the doors in this game. I don't think I would be able to know everything about this game if it wasn't for this book! I'm planning on getting the Shivering Isles and the Knights of The Nine one day. It has everything about them as well. All the maps are in the back and there are a lot of great maps. It even had all the downloadable content that you can get for the game. This book is priceless if you love this game. Buy this book! You won't be sorry. I've been playing games for over 13 years and this the best book i've owned for a game. Prima has done it again!!!!!! I don't know why it got bad reviews. The maps are in the back of the book and it has pages and pages of them.

Waste of money. 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

A complete waste of money. I expected detailed maps of everything on World Of Warcraft. It is just blown up maps from the computer. Don't make the same mistake I did by buying this product!!!

Internet databases and forums are more reliable 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Thankfully, I don't own this book, but I've used it a few times. Needless to say, it's junk.

It's built pretty well, I'll give them that, but it should have been a spiral edge (so it's easier to reference things in a flash). Despite the binding, it's pretty well built.

However, for a guide, it is poorly set up. Way too much NPC nonsense, maps aren't well developed (both visually and information-wise). The hand-drawn maps (always a crowd-pleaser) are pretty good but still lack info.

All of the information in the atlas is very general, and therefore not entirely helpful. Rare spawn info is easier to find than online searches, but even that cannot justify spending any amount of money on this book.

For a game that is constantly being revised and adding more content, it seems criminal to pay for such a book since you will almost always be missing something, regardless of the edition. When it comes down to it, WoW databases have so much more detail, hints, and tips to complete almost any challenge you meet in the game. If you are ridiculously dependent on having a physical copy of a guide, I would strongly urge you to save your money and wait for another revision copy to come out.
