5.0 out of 5 stars Great game, good book!, December 3, 2000

This review is from: Mechwarrior 4 : Vengeance : Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)

This is one of the best computer games out that I've played. Lots of action and some exciting moments. Got the strategy guide and it's pretty good as well. Full mission walkthroughs with some hidden tips that I didn't discover the first time through. All in all, a lot of fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Of little use at best., June 20, 2001

As aforementioned, the mech and weapons stats are already in the game manual and in the game. So nothing new there. The supposedly "detailed" mech descriptions and evaluations really don't tell ya anything you didn't already know.. Ie going toe-to-toe with a big mech in a little mech isn't smart, or that one particular mech which is nothing but missle racks should be used for standoff missle combat--"gasp" how scandalous. The single player mission walkthroughs are a joke, though they are helpful in warning you that entering area x is going to trigger hordes of scripted enemys to descend on you. As for the books advice on how to beat those hordes...well, most of it is idiotic at best.

Basically, if you are desperate need of someone else to provide common sense while you play this game then this book is for you. For the other 99% of the ppl who buy this game its totally redundant.

This review is from: Mechwarrior 4 : Vengeance : Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)

I bought this book looking for tips and hints for the online multiplayer battles, having already finished the regular game a couple of times.

It really offers nothing in terms of strategy that anybody with basic gaming experience wouldn't already know.

The specs that it offers are already in the manuals and on the web, so no real value there. A large part of the book talks about each mech, but says little of importantance. Most of the information is already in the manual or in the game itself except for some minor editorials on recomended loadout changes.
