1.0 out of 5 stars
Did Prima finish the game? It's horrible!!!, February 17, 2011
This review is from: Bomberman 64: Unauthorized Game Secrets (Prima's Secrets of the Games) (Paperback)
This guide is terrible!!! It didn't explain anything! There are no maps, no real explanations on how to get gold cards or custom pieces. The instructions for beating the levels don't make any sense. The boss faqs don't really seem to apply to what you are doing.
Let me just some up this guide. All it real had to say was for every stage 1 and 3, just wander around until you find 3 gold cards. Kill 30 enemies and beat the stage before the timer turns pink for the other 2. For stage 2 guides, it should have just said, use a full power bomb 3 times and make sure one of them lands on the boss's head. Beat the boss before the timer turns pink. Collect all 5 cards in 1 play through. For the stage 4 guides, it should have just said, hit the boss in 4 different places and beat him under the time limit. That is really about how descriptive this guide is. It uses screenshots, but they are so zoomed in, you can't tell what they are supposed to be. Plus, this guide hints the existence of a new area (fails to mention it is Rainbow Palace) with no guides about it.Prima's guides are the worst.
Things this guide does NOT have (but really needs):
-Applicable details that are more than walk up the stairs, then more stairs etc.
-MAPS (a puzzle-adventure game should have maps)
-A complete guide (there is no mention of Rainbow Palace [collect 100 gold cards])
-How to unlock the remaining 4 battle mode stages (press START rapidly on the mode select screen)
-Actual strategies on how to beat the bosses and get the cards
-Grammar-checker (sometimes I couldn't tell what he was talking about)
-List of custom pieces and their locations
-Explanation at least of hard mode on where items moved to
