3.0 out of 5 stars Overall Good Guide, Has It's Flaws..., January 21, 2002

This review is from: Grand Theft Auto 3 Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Strategy Guides) (Paperback)

This GTA3 Strategy Guide is pretty good and has some important and helpful information in it. However, it is obvious that the author played an early version of the game. There are several things in the game that were tweaked in the version that was released to the public. One example that comes to mind is discrepencies in the payoff for various jobs. On one mission I was expecting to get $2000 and I ended up getting $4000. Also, the guide does not include any of the cheat codes. Several strategies for the missions are definately not the best you can get. For example, on one mission you have to follow a guy to the harbor to see if he is ratting out the Mafia. The guide reccomends that you attempt to tail the guy, which is extremely difficult. I checked on an internet FAQ and found a much easier method in which you steal a taxi and actually pick the guy up yourself.

Basically the guide is helpful. It does, however, have flaws that can't be ignored.

This review is from: Grand Theft Auto 3 Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Strategy Guides) (Paperback)

Grand Theft Auto III is a breakout videogame for many reasons, not least of which is the huge variety of missions that you can play, often in whatever order you wish. This guide is perfect for that complexity.

The terrific maps of the Hidden Packages and PowerUps are worth the price of this book by themselves!

Quick tip for new players: Get all the Hidden Packages first thing as each new part of the city opens up. You'll enjoy important weapons right at your hideout from then on!

This book has it all- Character descriptions, and a full page on just about every mission including full maps, routes to take, and so much more. I had trouble finding it, but if you do, its definately worth it- some of the missions i couldnt beat without it!! GTA3 is the best PS2 game to come out this year, with a great strategy guide to help you out through the game.
