3.0 out of 5 stars Good tips, but few surprises, July 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Battlezone II Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

A strategy guide can be a gamer's best friend. It can clarify an ambiguous user guide, provide pros/cons of strategic options, and best of all... provide that "a-ha" tip that frees you from an eternity repeating the same level in Groundhog day fashion.

The BattleZone II guide is pretty good at all of the above. The overall strategy stuff is helpful. Good analysis of how to match one vehicle against another vehicle. Good tips on piloting skills. Good tips on how to build a base.

However, the mission-by-mission guide hasn't provided many "a-has" yet. I'll give credit to the game designers - this is pretty playable without a lot of additional help. Nevertheless, I have developed quite a few insights the hard-way, playing the same level over and over. These insights didn't always get mentioned in the book.

The book did show me how to cut my time on a particular level by 50%, so overall I'm happy. I'm especially happy to have a safety net in my hands as I progress to the more advanced levels of the game. If you are the type that doesn't like to get stuck, you will want this book. But keep in mind - the mission section doesn't explain it all - just enough to keep you moving.

2.0 out of 5 stars From a lover of BZI and BZII, September 3, 2000

This review is from: Battlezone II Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

Okay so I'm guessing your probably wanting to buy this to find out some killer tricks or something you didn't know, or you just can't figure out how to beat the last stage? I would not tell you to buy this then. I mean sure if your a die hard BZ lover and you wanted more BZ stuff to clutter your computer desk sure buy a few copys, but you obviously have online access reading this review so just surf over to some of the hundreds of fan web sites and read their stragety guides. I'm willing to bet a few sites even have the same wording as this book(I'm sooo sure its all an accident that they just thought alike). Not a bad book if you don't want to do the online research. But I wouldn't go off spending the money for it.
