Well, if you've played Armored Core 2, you know that simply beating the missions and arena challenges in the quickest and most deliberate way is not that enjoyable. The official Prima guide is great for anybody who gets stuck in a mission, or is trying to find all those pesky hidden AC parts. It offers top-notch Arena strategy, and has wonderful information on how best to equip your own AC to be the most effective in the missions.... You do not have to have this guide to get through the game, but I do reccommend it if you want to enjoy Armored Core 2 to the fullest.

I just picked this book up and must say there are plenty of Armored Core "parts" I didn't pick up along the way. Unfortunately, I am on sortie 20 and cannot go back to the parts I missed, one that I can go back and get is in the "AC test area". If you shoot the ceiling out it says there is a part up there! See how in depth this book/game is? You didn't know it was there did you? Time you buy this book.

Although, like the title says, every page is in B/W. I didn't really mind until I scanned through ALL the other books (Bouncer, Dark Legacy, SSX) and noticed they were ALL in full color... all except this one! Color artwork would have made the pics clearer and the areas more recognizable, and just prettier. Take a bunch of very small black & white screen shots and throw in HUGE explosions and it becomes difficult to see what's what. However, there is full text on what to do and I guess that's the important thing.

Also a POSTER would have been a nice touch. This is my fave game on PS2 and it would be cool to have a huge pull out poster to look up to.
