Im not a fan of walkthroughs, but to be honest with you i only bought it because it was a special edition walkthrough. When you first open it its shaped out like a folder, and it holds 2 books by their last cover page. Right off the bat the artwork in the covers stand out beautifully. The book to the left is a book that the creators of the game included that has all their production artwork. Everyone of the pictures and multiple facelifts many of the characters had to go through is fascinating and goes to show the time and patience game creators have to go through. Alot of the creatures you'd swear would go perfect for the game but often times had to be toned down to fit the part and look like it came from greek stories. Other times the details of some of those characters put a strain on the PS2's power and could not be included, and others because of time constraints.

Another reason i bought the walkthrough is for the multiple stories the guide had inside of ancient greek tales....giving us a little lesson in ancient greek culture philosophy and history. Many of the stories littered throughout the guide led to the creation of creatures and characters in the game to fit the games story and also the history of Grecian tales. Other than that I have no use for the guides because im the kinda gamer to go learning and exploring a game by myself. Nonetheless you can tell its extrememly comprehensive and full with info

For God's sake im not married and i have all the time and the world to kill this game in and out!...lol

This guide is very thorough and complete. The only complaint I have is that some of the Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix feathers are called out incorrectly. Other than that it was very helpful. Highly recommended!

It just had everything you would want in a strategy guide and more because of the high level of detail in the drawings are incredible. This is mostly for the Die Hard God Of War Fans with a sense of style. =)

This guide is probably one of the best I have ever purchased, except for the fact that the glue doesn't hold at all. Now as for the art book, pretty much awesome. It's over a 100 pgs. of character development, level design, and commentary from the artists. As for the guide, I couldn't have found everything w/o it and so it was a really good tool in beating the game. Overall awesome guide, but it would seem it's just for looking at.

This is certainly a guide you want to have! The guide is awsome! Very well illustrated with tons of remarks and complete instructions on how to enjoy this great game until the end! With it you wiil get one of the most spectacular art books I've ever seen! Fine printing (aswell as the guide), lots of concepts, descriptions, you name it! It is a real masterpiece! I bought it and believe me... it's worth every cent I spent on it!!!

Great guide!!! Very instructive to the most minute details. You honestly can't play the game without it (reminds me of Toy Story II when Rex commented, "It's extortion.") However, it also describes a lot of Greek history, and even states when the game bends the history a bit to accomodate the game. Also comes with an "Artistic" manual.

This product is very helpful, could not have asked for a better game guide. Shipping was quick too.

The Strategy Guide, which includes a very stylish art cover only available in this edition, may be useful to finish the game, but the real trinket of this limited edition is the exclusive Art Book.

I hope -at least when God of War III is released- that there will be a big hardcover 'Art of'-Book for the ingenious trilogy. Actually each installment of the series would be worthy of a hardcover Art Book.

I can only recommend this edition!

I have been shopping on Amazon for years and have never written a review, but the quality if this product compelled me to write one for the first time. I must give the actual content of the product an Excellent rating (that is why this got 2 instead of 1 star)but the book itself FELL APART in one day of use. I have NEVER had any other guide do that and I am very careful with my books. I can not believe that getting the Limited Edition one would be so poorly made. I was very disappointed. I liked the book so much I almost did not open it, I guess they didn't expect me to! Do yourself a favor and get the basic guide.

Tis a very good strategy guide, except for one thing. If you actually use this pretty book, the glue breaks and all the pages fall out. It is for looks only....Other than that its great
