This book was of extreme help to me in many places. I enjoyed the full color insert but sometimes it was hard to see where Indy was due to the black & white pictures in the book. An overall good book!

Absolutely reqired to get through the game but absolutely lousy. Screen shots (black&white) almost useless. Some of the reference text to a complex situation is wrong. Some of the comments are rather juvenile. There is no other choice but I'm sorry to see it go this way.

I recieved the game on PC for christmas but couldn't figure where to go in the game. I bought the guide and right off the bat, I had some gripes. The pages have no color. This makes the screenshots hard to see where Indy is. Then I saw the full color insert. They are WOW! Other than that, It's very helpful in information as to where everything is. I only wished they put some color into the screenshots.:)

If you have played through Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine for the PC, you know how hard the game is. How hard it is to get through some of the levels and find all the treasures, or finding the key to open the door. First the good news. This guide is a mammoth help in getting through the game. It is written in a easy to understand format, it tells you the quickest way to solve the really difficult puzzles and tells you all the suprises to expect during the game. Now for the "Cursed" part. First off, printing a guide in black and white screenshots is a big no no in the video game relm. Also having no maps of the levels is also a big no no (but in the publishers defense, the levels are INCREDIBLY large, so it would be nearly impossible to create maps). Also having no real stratigeys on the bad guys is a big minus. But other than that, this is a good guide and definitially needed. (NOTE: this review is written for the N64 version of this guide, but the information for both guides is basically the same).

The Good: Well written and laied out.

The bad: Black and white screenshots is a big no no, no maps and combat stratey is a big minus

and the Ugly: None

This is a great game guide made by Prima, that will help you with the PC game, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. When I got the game, I beat it, but I didn't find all the cool secrets and hidden areas until I got this manual. It will help you alot. It has screenshots of every move you can make in the game! Also, as a bonus, there are color photos and drawings of the game, and some original posters too. If adventure has a game stragegy guide, it must be.............. Indiana Jones!!!

This is a very good book! It tells you how to beat every mission. It also teaches you how to become an Indy-pro. The only problem is that it tells you how to beat each mission so you should only use it when you're stuck.

The strategy guide of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is fine. The authors overdid the visual aids and descriptions but that's fine. They put helpful tips even though it's common sense. An example would be on the first level: The next thing they put after you jump across a cliff is "Climb the ladder." That's all! They even included a picture with it too which is common sense of the next step. The pictures are in black and white to make it look like it's the 1930's and 1940's. But here's the issue: It makes the pictures hard to see! That was an extremely bad idea. But this book is a must have if you easily get stuck on this game and if you get stuck like on other Tomb Raider games. Get this book if you own the game. You are going to do need it and it's well worth the money.
