Well, I can't accuse this book of not covering enough information about DAIKATANA. This book tells you just about everything you need to know about DAIKATANA. In fact, I liked this book much more than the game itself!

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

I've played plenty of other games and read their strategy guides. For computers, at least, strategy guides are usually limited to black and white textbooks with hand-drawn game maps.

But not Prima's Official Daikatana Strategy Guide. This is a beautiful, full-color, slick-paged gem packed with more information and extras than you would will get from any other strat guide. You can only compare this book with a strat guide for a console game such as Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy VIII.

There are over a thousand screenshots for the walkthroughs, excellent top-down 3D game maps, designer tips on each episode and level, multiplayer tips and strategic info, instructions on how to use the Daikatana map editor, a centerfold poster of Stevie Case, the author, and a Daikatana Comic Book by Top Cow Productions in the back. This is one heavy strat guide -- get it now! :)
