Book Review: Great buy, lots of info, one minor problem
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, This book is a great addition to the Freelancer game. If you play this game, then you know that there a lot of items, equipment, commodities, maps, etc. that you will want to get info on.There are a few inaccuracies in Chapter 4 regarding the stats on some of the ships. I sent some feedback to Sybex regarding this, and they actually contacted the author, who offered to send me a file of the updated info. Hey, that's great customer service! Apparently, the designers/developers made a few last minute changes to the game before it shipped. I found the easiest thing to do was to update that chapter as I come across the ships in the game.
The book is otherwise a great buy. It has helped me out countless times in this great game. Would have given 5 stars, if it were not for the needed corrections.
I would like to see a complete universe map if there is a guide released that covers any future expansions to the game.
Book Review: Very Helpful
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not much of a gamer and this book is very helpful in getting me past the frustrating obstacles I encountered right away.
Well-organized and clear.
Book Review: Good Graphics but
Summary: 3 Stars
The graphics are good in the game, I had played the game for hours. After trying about 30 times to pass the mission on the Hood I decided to remove the game from my computer and cut up the CD. I will never play this game again. The part that stinks the most is every 2nd time I lost had to replay the whole stupid video over and over so I just gave it up.
