I got this (Ratchet & Clank Future) guide and game for my 15 yr old grandson, who loves the game and has found this guide to be of great help in locating quest areas and hidden items. The guide maps and instructions are very well done and is a good value for the price. I highly recommend this guide for those who desire to locate all of the hidden treasures and unlock additional items in the game.

This is a well-edited, beautiful book; a real treat to look at. It's not really a must for playing through the game, but if you're one of those obsessed with 100% completion, don't think it twice. Besides, it will look great on your bookshelf.

A real collector's item.

This book helps find the few pieces I couldn't find. It was pretty easy to navigate and gave all the info I needed.

Got this after I bought the game for my son and I to play. This books helps out tons

I didn't really need it but if you are stuck and you think you tried everything get it

I've been very pleased with all of BradyGames's previous Ratchet & Clank guides, but this effort lacks anything to make it worth recommending. The game itself is so straight-forward that there shouldn't be much need for a walkthrough, even for someone entering the R&C world for the first time (or, playing any type of video game for the first time, for that matter). So what I was hoping to find in this guide included better maps than there are in the game, and strategies for going beyond a basic play-through, i.e. tips on upgrading weapons most efficiently, playing through Challenge Mode "and beyond," and achieving Skill Points. Unfortunately, the maps in the guide are no more detailed than those in the game, and while they do call out the location of Gold Bolts and other hidden treasures, they really don't help all that much. When it comes to Skill Points, this guide is useless. It does give the cryptic descriptions that accompany the Skill Points in the menu-list (the descriptions that you get once you achieve the Skill Point), but the guide does not list any suggestions or strategies on how to achieve the Skill Points-- even in instances where the Skill Point requires that you affect a specific number of enemies, the guide doesn't even tell you that number. I ended up getting all the help and strategy I needed from internet message boards, and don't think I used this guide more than once or twice to help in playing/beating the game. This guide does include interviews with members of the Insomniac team that produced the game, but even those interviews ceased to be interesting after the 3rd or 4th person answered the same questions the same way as their coworkers did. Save your money! Chances are you won't need help on any part of the game that this guide covers; and you'll just end up online looking for answers to the things that this guide skips over.
To see an exemplary game guide that goes above and beyond in every way, check out Piggyback Interactive's guide for "Metal Gear Solid 4."

You better believe this is great game play! I loved this series and can't wait for more!

It is nice that you can depend on at least one good fun game on PS3,and this game has all the fun that the first in the series had, but updated nicely for the new console.

I was not sure if I would like this game. I read a review on IGN and took a chance. What a hoot!! I am not good at video games, so this game is a challenge BUT I am having a ball with it...

Have a great Holiday!
