This was an excellent strategy guide (unlike some, it goes in order, rather than say things like, 'when you get <-NAME->, go back and...", it says where to go back when you get it. The one thing I didn't like was that it didn't have the kinds of maps I wanted. Otherwise, it was excellent. Worth every penny.

if you have this game you probably have been stuck a few times I know i was. Well maybe im just dumb but this guide helped me a ton. Its even just fun to look at it even if your not playing.

This is not what I would expect from a company like prima. The guides from prima that I have used were supperior to that of Nintendo and Brady. Unless you're a serious gamer, that means absoluetly nothing to you. The guide itself is of very high quality and the list of monsters is excellent. However, there are a few things wrong with it. It fails to actually tell you how many HP Sidoh has. It does not give a very good strategy to beat him. It doesn't even give you a picture of what he looks like. Also, in the Rhone cave, a crucial turning point in the game, it sais there is a pit where there isn't. It took me hours of gameplay to discover that the book was simply wrong. No matter. I like the "down to earth" format, although I wish the would be a bit more specific. Instead of saying "Go to the north eastern staircase" they could have said, "Go to stair case 3" to take advantage of the strategy and map format. To sum it up, its fairly good, with only a few errors, (which can easily be solved by looking on the internet), and is worth every penny.

Although most fans of Dragon Warrior have already beaten the NES versions of DW 1 and 2,and even though they are pretty much the same game but with new enhancements,the guide still is a great buy.(As well as the game itself!)Lots of info,pics and more!Recommended!

I received it within a week and a half and for a used issue, it was in mint condition. Thanks

I was disappointed in this guide, due to the lack of detailed strategy. Also, it seemed to gloss over a few of the important areas and treat them like they didn't even exist. Not a good idea.

It seemed as though the authors quickly wrote it, without verifying strategy and concepts that they described. I expected much more specific and accurate strategy from an official strategy guide. It sure wasn't worth the money in my opinion.

All in all, it was a very unsatisfying book.
