2.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for nothing, January 24, 2000

This review is from: Brigandine: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

Prima, normally a trustworthy company when it comes to strategy guides, really failed to get the job done with its guide for Brigandine on the Playstation.

Prima's guide basically tells readers about each country's starting knights and monsters, something any player could discover himself simply by selection each castle at the beginning of the game and writing down what he sees. The strategy fails to mention any of the characters who join the armies through quests or parts of the story. I got the feeling that the writer of this guide never played Brigandine; it seems, instead, that he just asked a friend for a basic description of the game and printed that information along with some pictures in order to sell a useless strategy guide.

Any player who really wants hints about Brigandine should search online for an FAQ or walkthrough.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was good as far as it went., December 17, 1998

This review is from: Brigandine: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I enjoy playing Brigandine, but am frustrated by the infrequent and oblique references to what may be an interesting storyline. I purchased the strategy guide for the primary purpose of learning more about the storyline, and for the secondary purpose of learning more about the knight and monster concepts and stats. In the first case, I was disappointed because the guide told me nothing about the storyline. In the second case, I learned less about the knights and monsters than what is already apparent in the game.

Since I did not buy the guide for the the strategy, per se, I do not find fault with the insight to the strategy. In fact, I think the guide did a very good job of explaining strategy basics. Unfortunately, none of it was anything that would not be obvious after an hour of play.

All in all, it was OK, but I was left with the feeling "Is this it?"

5.0 out of 5 stars superb information, just what the doctor ordered, April 26, 1999

I thought this book gave you all you needed to execute a winning strategy and beat the game. If you brought brigandine, you should get this. Those boys should do some more books as they obviously know what they are talking about, the character data and monster info was great for quick reference!
