5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, like all of Prima's game guides, March 31, 2001

This review is from: Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I think I am the only adult who has written a review for this book in the Amazon.com website. I don't think kids would need to read this book because they seem to find out everything about the game just by playing it for hours on end! Well, I enjoy real time strategy games too, but can't afford to spend the same amount of time as my younger colleagues on them. This is where Prima's guide comes in. It provides a quick overview of all the elements of the game, walkthroughs for all the missions, and some general strategy tips, exactly what is needed in a 3rd party manual. It is well-indexed too so I can find what I need quickly. The manual is fairly small, but this is because the game is not so deep as some others, like Age of Kings for example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, October 29, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This book was useful to me and, possibly, you in many many ways. First off, walkthroughs for all solo missions and stragy for multiplayer. Second, unit and building reviews. Third, FAQ's and many other secret and helpful pieces of info. Get this book.... It's worth it.
