This book gave a decent overview of how to play the game of Secret of Mana. Many tips were given, however, most were common sense. One nice advantage, though, is that it comes with stats for many enemies and bosses throughout the game. And who wants to go cast analyzer on every character you see? Though this info can sometimes be found on the internet, the book is inexpensive and entertaining. A good buy for anybody addicted to the Secret of Mana (such as me).

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent match to the game, September 24, 2006

By	J. Elliott "book raven" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just by itself the artwork and the layout of this book is exceptional.
The walkthrough is given in a loose story format(There are a couple of different ways one of the characters can be introduced,) with all the specs on the creatures and bosses and seed palaces in the back.

In the higher levels some of the orb chests can be easy to miss and the book has helpful land maps, weapon and creature information. I also like the way the major bosses and mana palace creatures are given their own introductions at the end of each chapter.

I wish every guide was as nice as this one.
