Three Whips Are Better Than One,
By Marc Ruby™ "The Noh Hare™" (Warren, MI USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence(tm) Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games) (Paperback)
While Lament of Innocence is a game where the puzzles and bosses aren't particularly hard to figure out, it is comforting to have a guide in hand, if for no other reason than to have useful information out where you can see it. And for me, there are always a couple of occasions where I'm staring at the screen wondering what the point is behind a particular circumstance, and a guide keeps me from going of on a tangent.This is a sensibly written guide that takes the player through a possible line of play which assures that the player will see all the sights, get all the items, and stand a reasonable change of defeating all the bosses. It doesn't spend a lot of time on lavish illustration or unnecessary detail either. Personally, I prefer this style. There has been a trend towards 300 page guides that are harder to use than the game is to play. That isn't the case here. It's arguable that Lament doesn't really need a guide, but I find that a good guide reduces the frustration level and enhances overall enjoyment. This effort by Laura Parkinson does exactly that. Especially for someone who is still getting used to the genre.

Helpful to the last,
This review is from: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence(tm) Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games) (Paperback)
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is said to be a game you can easily complete without a strategy guide. Well, I don't care if I need a guide or not I pick it up anyway.
This particular guide is really handy. This is easily one of the better guides I've seen and I've got hundreds of strategy guides lying around the house (literally). This particular guide is the best and most comprehensive way of going through Castlevania LOI. A complete full walkthrough and it gives you all the secret goodies for after you've completed the game. Castlevania has simple puzzles but sometimes finding everything requires a different course of action. This guide helped me find all the relics, all the keys and helped me unearth all the secrets Castlevania has to offer. The walkthrough is detailed, complete with maps. The maps show you where all the items and switches are, making it easy to navigate. There is one small tid-bit with how the guide is. It's done perfectly but you'll find yourself flipping back to the map a lot because of how the game's camera is constantly rotating. Boss strategies are very handy and reveal everything you need to know to beat every boss, including the forgotten one. I was also very impressed with how the guide made suggestions as what sub-weapons I should take for a certain area. I usually only rely on the cross but using this guide I found there are some instances where the cross just isn't always the best. This is a very impressive guide that should help anyone get through the game of Castlevania: Lament of Innocence with very little trouble. It also helps you uncover 100% of the castle and actually SHOWS you with screenshots how to do things. No problems with the guide, its worth buying if you need the help with the game.

Very helpful,

This review is from: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence(tm) Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games) (Paperback)
For most games you'd think that you don't want to waste your money on a stadegy guide, but that isn't the case for this game. It is very easy to get lost in the repetative looking levels and you can miss important items. This gives you everthing you need to know. There hasn't been a guide that has helped me out this much since the one from Final Fantasy X.
