1.0 out of 5 stars Pretty useless for a strategy guide..., May 14, 2004

By A Customer

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

I was sorely dissapointed in this strategy guide for several reasons. Based on the highlights posted on the back of the guide it was quite misleading and also wasn't very helpful at all. It barely touches up on anything for each of the characters that couldn't already be figured out just by reading the manual, going to the official website or just by playing the game. It promises "In-depth character and enemy officer statistics" but doesn't even deal with the actual stats for anyone, much less what kind of stats each character can achieve through the course of the game. It doesn't even give any strategy on how to develop the characters in the guide which is probably the most important information that should have been included. They also barely touch on the skills and items in the game. Instead, the majority of this guide is filled with what is basically a "walkthrough" for one way of getting through the game without really giving any examples of how the overall branching of the game works or even why their way is the most advantageous. Despite what it says it isn't very easy or comprehensive to find the information that one is looking for, provided it is even in the guide. Overall it was probably the most useless strategy guide that I have ever owned. (Another one that comes close is the Final Fantasy 9 strategy guide with all of its tie-ins with the website which don't even work anymore.) If anything try to read someone else's copy first to see if it has any information worth paying for...otherwise buy it at your own risk.
