5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful guide from start to finnish, December 17, 2008

This review is from: Metroid(R) Prime Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

As a person who loves the Metroid series, I enjoy beating each game 100%, without having to backtrack too many times. For me, Metroid Prime was the only game in the series where I found myself backtracking more than an average Metroid fanatic might like, and it caused me to put the game down for a couple of years. However when I got this guide just a month ago, I was able to fully enjoy this wonderful game for the first time. The guide is very detailed. The maps have all the powerups shown and numbered (for missiles, powerbombs, and energy tanks) before each section of the guide. Not only that, but the guide was also made so a person could play the game from start to finnish without backtracking too much and get 100% on your first play.

Now this is what I wanted from this guide and it nailed it. The guide is easy to read, has information boxes to tell you when certain expansions will become available, and also provides, for the most part, fairly good strategies as to defeating tough enemies and bosses. I recommend this guide for anyone who fells they have had to backtrack so much that the game was a waste of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thank Goodness For The Guides!, May 2, 2011

What Can I Say, I Would Be Lost Without This Guide. There Is NO Way To Finish 100% Without It. Its Hard To Just Beat It At All Without It Lol. Be Careful Tho, I Found Out The Hard Way That You MUST Read Everything On Each Page, All The Boxes. Because Sometimes The "Walkthru" Part Doesn't Say 'Hey There Is A Energy Tank There' So Read All Of It. And To Be Sure Its Best To Check-Off Everything In The Back Of The Book As You Get It, So There Is No Backtracking All Over. This Guide Is A Must Have. If You Dont Get One, You Will End Up Sorry. :)
