Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
By Jeff Kraus VINE VOICE on August 3, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This Collector's Edition version of the official MGS4 game guide is fantastic!

First of all, if you're not interested in the additional features of the Collector's Edition, then save yourself the money and get the standard edition Metal Gear Solid 4: Prima Official Game Guide instead. It's significantly cheaper, and is exactly the same with the following exceptions:

- The Collector's Edition is hardcover.
- Collector's Edition includes an additional chapter detailing some of the great Metal Gear artwork.
- Collector's Edition includes a numbered lithograph by Yoji Shinkawa.

Either product will be worth the money to anyone that wants to get the most out of the game. I purchased this guide after I had completed the game once already, and I'd recommend this to anyone interested in the guide. Don't use the guide on your first time through, or it may inadvertently ruin some of the surprises and fun bits that pop up throughout.

The thought that the maps are too hard to read, as mentioned in another review, seems ridiculous to me. The maps have been of great help when determining shortest routes, or finding items that you may need. Granted, it may sometimes take a minute of staring at the map to determine your current position, but I don't think they could have done much better than they did.

You will get a TON of advice every step of the way. It will tell you the best way to get through the each map normally, as well as how that strategy must change if you're trying a no-kill playthrough. It will also give you adjustments that you may need to make based on the difficulty setting that you're playing on.Read more ›

A must have for Metal Gear Fans
By Christopher Cruz on June 16, 2008
Format: Hardcover
This Limited Edition Collector's guide is a MUST have for fans of the game. It comes with a nice Collectible Lithograph and the guide is packed with colorful pictures and content. The game playthrough guide is spoiler free so you can follow along with the game and not spoil any key elements to the story. There are also more detailed sections (with spoilers) that you can follow along with after you beat the game the first time so that you can work to uncover all of the secrets in the game.

It's great that the guide also has a complete Synopsis of the whole Metal Gear Story (not just from Metal Gear Solid 4). This is great because the game and series is packed heavy with soooo much story that it's helpful to be able to go back to the synopsis and reaffirm the story. Definetly a nice hard cover guide that I highly reccommend.

Great Guide
By E. Schneider on July 5, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This Metal Gear Guide book is the perfect guide book if you are new to the series because it tells you back story and explains all of the characters quite well. It also has a lithograph included that is a limited numbered edition. The walkthroughs are very detailed and the extras and secrets to getting the goods are all very thorough and the best I have seen in a guide book in a while. If you are new to the series or you just like the extra pizzazz then this guide will be the one for you.

good book with select art pieces.
By Tanner on June 2, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
very detailed strategy guide with all the extras, secrets, and items separated from the main walkthrough and put into the back of the book. along with that is a dozen pages of art depicting solid snake though the years. pieces from metal gear solid, mgs2: sons of liberty, and mgs4: guns of the patriots. a must-have for any hardcore metal gear fan.

Very Pleased!
By James Young on September 17, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is an outstanding book. Lots and lots of attention to details. There are beautiful maps and the text is very dense. This really adds to the experience of playing the game. There is also a lot of very nice artwork and detailed backgrounds on all the characters and weapons in the game. It is really a lot more than just a walk-through.
