Book Reviews of Tomb Raider II: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series.)
Book Review: Gets the Job Done
Summary: 2 Stars
While I couldn't have finshed the game without the manual, I often spent as much time reading the manual as playing the game. The language in the manual is not very reader-friendly and is replete with mistakes; however, with trial and error and a little common sense, one can discern the book's mistakes and figure out the correct way to go about it.Book Review: This calendar is boss-neato!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lara Croft is the perfect woman!(No offense to the ladies intended) She's got class, brains, and a bod you could die for. Sure, she's not a real person. But neither is Barney, and a lot of people love him. (Myself not included)Book Review: Buy another guide
Summary: 2 Stars
What made me buy this book is that it was the Official Strategy Guide of Tomb Raider II. I was mistaken. And very disappointed, not to mention.The graphic illustrations of the book were not clear for the average reader due to the highly pixelized photos (e.g. I couldn't even see the Stone Dragon in the picture). Also, the author may be too comfortable with the game that he was not able to take into consideration the new users; few details were given to achieve a certain objective or reach a certain place. It would have helped if a few objects chanced upon were mentioned for reference. To make it short, buy another guide.
The only salvaging value of this piece is the physical make-up of the book--glossy paper with nice colors.
Book Review: A waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
This strategy guide is a waste of time and money. It is loaded with mistakes and is no help at all. Surf the web to get the walkthoughs and save your hard-earned bucks.Book Review: Several Errors and Not Too Comphrensive, But Still Necessary
Summary: 3 Stars
This strategy guide has several errors, such as leaving out some items the baddies carry and too vague or just plain wrong directions. But, still, without this guide, I'd be dead meat. The errors are relatively easy to figure out if you have any brains at all and you can avoid overlooking unmentioned items by searching the bodies of each corpse. And the color pictures were an improvement over the black and white pages of the original Tomb Raider I strategy guide. This book could have had used some improvements, but I'd be stuck in Tomb Raider II forever without it. But if you don't want to fork over the dough, just surf the net. There are literally hundreds of Lara Croft websites, complete with walkthroughs which are better than the book because it is being constantly edited and updated.
