3.0 out of 5 stars Superb Game, Indispensible Reference Book..., June 5, 2002
By 
MoonRabbit (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anarchy Online: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Paperback)
Well, now that FunCom has gotten the bugs out of AO and has been developing it (patch 14.2 is going live today), I take back everything bad I ever said about it. Anarchy Online is superb and has at last begun living up to the hype and the high expectations I had of it from the beginning.

As for this book, it was pretty out of date when it was published and it has in no way kept up with the massive changes and additions to the game itself. However, despite that and that it is generally a little weak overall, the book is absolutely indispensible as a reference guide to everything from maps, to nanos, to clusters, to weapons and monsters. Yes, even much of that data is out-of-date now, but there is still rarely a session where I don't refer to the book at least once. If they published the book again with more current information, I'd definitely buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money...., August 23, 2001
By 
DONOVAN HURTER (SAINT PETERS, MISSOURI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anarchy Online: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Paperback)
I'll keep this short and sweet. This book is not much more than an extended version of the game manual. However, that may not be a bad thing depending on how you look at it. Personally, I think the extra information and zone maps are worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strategies and Secrets???, August 11, 2001
By 
Darren Loranger (Bay St. Louis, MS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anarchy Online: Sybex Official Strategies and Secrets (Paperback)
This book works as a great reference book, bottom line. There is only the very basis of any kind of stratgy in this book and if there are any secrets, then finding them is the biggest one and is clearly ommited from this publication. More information on strategy (and yes even secrets) can be gleaned from the MANY online fansites. This being said, I will restate that the book does contain many great charts and works well as a reference book only.
