This review is from: Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

After buying ep3, seeing the depth of the game and being overwhelmed by the sheer number of diverse cards and strategies, you may start thinking about purchasing this strategy guide to help you make sense of its complexity. And this strategy guide from Prima does a pretty good job at sorting it all out. It explains the basics of the game, how the game works, the strengths and weaknesses of each character, it has a very in-depth single player walkthrough, and a massive cardlist with pictures, card stats, and card abilities.

But its not perfect. For one, out of the 150 pages only 2 are devoted to online play. The majority of people buy this just to play online. Despite its lack of dedicated online coverage, it makes up for in part just because many strategies used in the single player can be carried over online. And this guide has a very strong walkthrough with descriptions and tactics for every battle. It also gives you tips on basic and advanced strategies.
The guide is well written, and is organized neatly, making it very easy to read.
I like this guide, and if you are new to the game this is definetly for you. Dedicated online players will benefit from the complete card lists and story charcter stats, but not much else.
