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!

A in depth walk-through, a peek into the dev of Daikatana and much more. All by the renowned level designer of the same game Stevie Case.She gives you all the ins and outs of great looking game. Makes the wait for this all the more painful.

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! :)
