5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a Wonderful Guide Through Strange Territory!, July 11, 2001

This review is from: Myst III: Exile: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I love Exile. And I love this book. I still don't believe that anybody can solve the Myst Trilogy without cheating. One of the reasons that this book is so wonderful is that there is sort of a "preamble" before each series of cheats. This allows you to still feel the continuity of the game. There is also some "soft cheats" at the end of the book for you die-hards that don't want to use the walkthrough. Also, there is a journal by Atrus at the end. So buy the book even if you refuse to cheat at all. It contains helpful information of the continuing story.

This review is from: Myst III: Exile: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

The Myst III: Exile Prima Strategy Guide is very complete. It is easy to understand and follow. It offers two types of helps: The Golden Path Walkthrough which reveals every step needed to complete in the game. The other is the Soft Hints section which is for those who don't want the answer revealed to them and just need a hint.

It also includes a "Historian's Journal" which tells about the story's origin, and Atrus' Journal which is the journal Atrus gives you at the beginning of the game.

This guide is essential to anyone who owns or will own the Myst III: Exile game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Demystifies Myst, May 17, 2001

This review is from: Myst III: Exile: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

The strategy guide achieves its goal: it explains Exile in intricate detail. It also delineates the history and philosophy of Exile's five ages. My only objection to this guide is that its Golden Walkthrough (chapters 1 - 6) makes Exile a little too easy. However, this objection is ameliorated by the guide's Soft Hints section (chapter 7).
