Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is a very hard game. I got stuck on it pretty early, but I knew I was up for a challenge because I played the first game. So I bought the strategy guide. It helped a LOT.
Just like most strategy guides it leads you step by step through the whole game. It skips unnecessary parts that are obvious like going to a certain room to get to the next part. It explains what you have to do pretty well. It is an attractive book with lots of colors. It spans 238 pages.
The only real complaints I had with the guide are that Nintendo Power could have put more screenshots for the game while going through it step by step. They focused more on huge shots of Samus taking up a whole page (which is really unnecessary). The other complaint is that sometimes they will skip through certaing rooms, which some players might not like.
Overall this is a very good strategy guide. I recommend it for anyone stuck in the game!!

Delivers as promised. Detailed instructions to be able to finish the game with 100% items.

This guide, while not perfect, does provide a large amount of information on the game and gives a description of what is required to completed every level in Metriod Prime 2. The only issue I have had is that some of the explanations of what you have to do are somewhat vague or inaccuate, although exploration is part of the fun of the game and giving too much detail might spoil it. All in all, it is a very useful resource.

If I never Got This I Would Never Have Been Able To Finish The Game With 100%. Its A Good Guide But Sometimes Kind Of Hard To Tell Where You Are. Other Then That Its Fine And VERY Helpful. Thanks.

This is the ONLY true guide for Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. It gives you every logbook entry in the first room/opportunity you can scan it in in the walkthrough. By following the items guide in the appendix, you can get 100% of the items. Not to mention it's full of funny jokes and witty musings. For example, the introduction to the Torvus Bog section of the walkthrough says:

When you think of a bog, you might imagine friendly alligators cavorting in the sunshine, trading warm hellos with the locals. Well, that's not what bogs are like at all. Load up on that arm cannon and get ready to blast anything that moves.

The only hitch is that the Spider Guardian fight is not well detailed (although that really can't be helped; nothing can prepare you for the agony of fighting that bastard for the first time!) and his colors are red, BLUE and green, not red, orange and green. Other than that, it's perfect. Get going, Hunter.
