Book Reviews of Halo: Prima's Official Strategy Guide
Book Review: Think of it as a better version of the Instruction Manual
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a terrific book for anyone who finds the manual that comes with the game lacking. This book is able to go into much greater detail explaining the weapons, bad guys, etc. The few pages of tips/tricks alone is worth it, even if you wish to avoid the walk-through sections.The way this game works, you have to fight your own battles anyway, so the book just helps you to prepare.
Book Review: Prima's "Halo" Strategy Guide
Summary: 4 Stars
This guide is helpful for some stages in the game,(one must bare in mind that the guide is written for Xbox; control references are for Xbox), but I found that the pictures are a bit dark. All in all it is still useful for the novice RPG player.Book Review: good strategy guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this strategy guide to be very helpful and easy to follow. I'd suggest playing through the game's easy mode without the guide, and then using it on the more difficult levels. But that's just my opinion.Book Review: Do you really need this?
Summary: 3 Stars
My review isn't a slam on people that use cheat books like some of the reviews here. But, the game flows so smoothly, I just wouldn't see why you would need one. The game pretty much only gives you one option in which way to go next. Either every thing else is blocked, or all the other doors are locked. I liked that because I don't like games that you have to run all over just to figure out where to go next. There is even a level in the middle of a swamp. I thought I would have a tough time figuring that out, but there are lights here and there that kinda show you the way. Very good game. If you are thinking of getting this, get it. I just had a friend over who has a PS2, and is thinking of getting an XBox just for this one game. That's how great it is!!!Book Review: Good for the easier difficulties, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
I was rather disappointed by this book. I expected good advice, and helpful walkthroughs. The walkthroughs were ok, if you are playing on Easy. The maps of the single-player and multiplayer levels were good. The "helpful" tips section would only really be useful for someone who has never played a FPS before, with gems like "if you move around, you are a tougher target". It does have nice sections about the vehicles, weapons, multiplayer maps, and gametypes. The walkthrough itself is only useful on Easy or maybe Normal. If you are trying to beat Legendary, this is not the book for you. Go buy Halo 2 instead.
