There are better strategy guides..., December 25, 2011
This review is from: Duke Nukem: Zero Hour Official Strategy Guide Pb (Paperback)
This book is big on info that experienced players already know, not so much on details of all the secrets. It needs less graphics and more photos and descriptions. However, it is helpful in finding most of the secrets that even the more experienced players haven't been able to find. Worth buying, but not worth paying a lot.

Horrible Guide - Writer + Game Player Failed HARDCORE, September 27, 2011
This review is from: Duke Nukem: Zero Hour Official Strategy Guide Pb (Paperback)
This guide is HORRIBLE. Not only does it not list even HALF of the secret areas or babes, it sometimes says that there isn't half as many as there is, because the idiot who wrote the guide couldn't find them and thought it was a glitch so he wrote like 4 instead of 8 for total babes on the intro page for that level etc.(they are easy to find if you spent even just 1 hour per level searching them, which you can tell they didn't at all.)
It is also HORRIBLE at describing where secrets and babes etc are, and shows a pic of the secret maybe 1 out of 10 times while including a ton of useless screenshots of the guy fighting monsters that are easy to kill and finding items that aren't secret, that are easy to find... Several pages are wasted on the writer describing how you should avoid a fight rather than how you should kill them with skill and items he missed in his guide...
In the credits the writer talks as if he is a EXTREME Legit OG PRO Gamer, but really you can tell he hasn't even played the game that much at all... let alone found all the secrets and babes. Why would you take the time to publish a HORRIBLE FAILURE OF A GUIDEBOOK if you don't even know half the stuff about the game and only beat it 1 time if that, while looking up all the stuff you didn't know / would never ever find out about the end level rewards, what the weapons and enemies look like in a screenshot and their stats etc....
You're better off looking at gamefaqs if you are struggling with Duke: Zero Hour. I give this guide a 0 out of 100 due to the cockiness of the writer, his obvious lack of knowledge, and experience of the game, and his idiocy at publishing a half-assed guide to make some cash asap cause hes desperate for cash and wants to beat a better writer to the punch of making a guide that actually helps you.
If you read this Alex Erins, Sorry, you are hardly Duke Nukem. Neither is the duke-wannabe Phillip Marcus you named who failed at finding the secrets and babes) I laughed so hard and felt so bad for how pathetic you were at bragging about this in a rushed, half-assed guide to a game you don't know barely anything about. Let alone how you knocked the guy who played all of the game for your failure of a guide.
