3.0 out of 5 stars fragile but may be necessary, October 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pikmin: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

Why are these strategy guides always printed so badly
that they cannot survive a single read-through? Those
who care about these books want to refer to them over a
nd over again, so they deserve a proper paperback binding,
instead of a binder inferior to that found on the
typical drugstore magazine.

My ten year old boy likes this book, but my six year
old is the one who really loves it. Both can use the
information, after playing for some months without ever
finishing the game. Don't buy this book until you've
already spent some time with the game on your own - why
spoil the fun for those parts that you can figure out
for yourself? Save it for when you get stuck.

The game guide itself is indeed very detailed, however instead of suggesting a direct linear flow for the game, it simply describes each area, the creatures in the specific areas, obstacles, and solutions to gaining access and/or ship parts. So once again, very detailed, just not much in way of what order one could play the game to make sure one gets everything... or even the quickest play through route.
