Book Reviews of Lego Star Wars (Prima Official Game Guide)
Book Review: Not the best Prima guide...
Summary: 2 Stars
Normally, Prima guides are top-of-the-line. Normally, they provide everything you need in a concise and easily navigated form. Unfortunately, this guide isn't the norm.
The problem is simple- the actual "walkthrough" of the game is presented in straight text, with basically no indexes or tabs. Want to know when or how a specific character is unlocked? Good luck. The closest you'll get are tiny indicators of what characters star in each sub-chapter of the game (these charactes are always unlocked when completing that sub-chapter)- you'll have to page between sections trying to spy the location Story characters appear. And some characters have to be unlocked outside the normal game- there's not even a listing of who those characters are or what the unlocking requirements are.
The biggest reason I bought this Guide was because, to find 100% of the hidden items, you have to retrace your steps from Story Mode in what's called "Free Play". Some areas intentionally require certain characters' special abilities to reach, and these characters can only be accessed by unlocking them elsewhere in Story Mode then coming back and selecting them for Free Play. Long story short- the sub-chapter breakdowns don't even tell you what characters you'll need when you come back for Free Play except in small inserts dispersed through the normal text. If all you want to know it what two characters you need to select to get 100% of the secrets in a Free Play area- you'll have to read all the way through the text (again).
The guide is wonderfully illustrated. The maps are accurate and easy to read, and the narration of the game is thorough. You will unlock everything in the game if you have the patience to read and re-read this guide many times. But in the end, it might be much more reading than it needs to be. If you can find a free online guide (or even another companie's guide to this game!), stick with that. I just can't recommend this product very highly at all.
