I found the guide very useful in helping me through the game. The tips and the hints got me from beginning to end in a brief and fun amount of time. I recommend this book to anyone who needs help to solve a puzzle or figure out just what your supposed to do next.

This book gives all the information about the game and who all the charachters, weapons and villians are. It has an introductory section so that you know who the charachters are and what they mean. It also has a detailed section on the weapons that you can use. It then gives details on each one of the villians (NMC's) and the best weapons against each of them. It also explains how to use the parasite energy's and what you have to attain to upgrade each one. The last section of the book is a walk through, play by play, on getting through each section of the game. Some of this is a bit sketchy but it is enough information should you get stuck in a section of the game. The author recommends that you not use the play by play section unless you are really "stuck" because it will take the mystery and excitement out of the game. I have used it several times, especially when having to decode riddles. It is an excellent resource if you are the kind of person who gets really frustrated when "stuck" at certain sections of a video game. There are many different pathways to get to the ending of the game which I don't think I would have even realized had I not used the guide. I recommend it, especially if you are new to this kind of game or if you are not familiar with the first Parasite Eve or other Brady games. (Which I was not, so I think that may be another reason why this guide was so helpful and informative.)

It was very detailed, and the explanation of weapons was awesome. I got through the whole game in one weekend with the help of this book. It outlines a strategy for every major fight, and provides a step-by-step walkthrough to guide you through every part of the game. You can play the game mostly on your own just using the book as a detailed reference, or it can walk you through everything. Awesome!

This guide is very helpful, giving clear and detailed maps, lists of items, weapons, armor, etc. It was extremely informative and easy to follow. Some people complain that the guide doesn't tell you how to beat the final two bosses, but I didn't mind. I guess even writers of a strategy guide don't want to spoil ALL the fun. The only problem I had is that the section that talks about replay, bounty, scavenger, and nightmare mode seems a bit rushed. Overall, though, it's worth the $$

The reason I gave this book 4 out of 5 is mainly because there are some pictures that, I think give away to much of the story. On the plus side, the pictures are very good quality. The puzzle solutions are obviously marked, so that if you want to try to figure it out yourself, you know what not to look at. Lastly, the sections of the book are nicely split up, and provide concise and sometimes helpful information.

Wow! This book is chockful of info for this extremely nice sequel to one of the most unique RPGs of all time! It tells you strategies on how to defeat every boss, and a nice walkthrough is provided. For those who get stuck in the game, this book will solve all your problems! A section for secrets in replay mode is also listed, telling you what bonuses are given. For those looking for help in PE2, this is the book to get. Bradygames has done it again!!

Well, its hard to rate a good guide these days. I liked it. It helped me get through the game and gave me some good strategies. It was a bit thin and I thought some parts could have used some better hints, but all and all, a good book to help you out.

This book is the greatest ever, I had my doubts but I was wrong, it was not only helpful but has awesome Pictures as well I highly recommend this book.

Yeah, its a best book for this game. But the writer hasn`t finish the game twice. Coz` I want to know if something happen if you finish the NIGHTMARE chapter. Well, what can I say I haven`t finish that chapter too.
