4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Guide to a Great Game, May 4, 2006

The first time I played through Jade Empire I was impressed with how well written the guide was, at first glance there didn't seem to be anything missing, and although the layout is somewhat confusing it wasn't that hard to figure out. However as I am now working my way through the game for a third time I find that the guide isn't always correct about the exact placement of the various Scrollstands or Spirit/Focus fonts. By no means is this guide the best one ever put out by Prima however the information on techniques, essence gems, and strategies for defeating opponents is well worth the price.
Pros: Overhead maps, enemy strategies,essence gem list, all side quests detailed.
Cons: Somewhat confusing layout, misses a few key item locations

It's just like a strategy guide should be... It's made by Prima, the company that makes most, if not all strategy guides... There's a reason for that.
