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

Only if you plan on playing this game through more than once in a month should you buy this book.

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.

It's concise, I'll give it that. But it's disorganized and confusing to use. The sidequest section is invaluable if you want to experience everything in the game

Don't know what to say, about this item, because I have not received the game yet, or the book.
