4.0 out of 5 stars First timer? Then this is for you., January 25, 2000

This review is from: Star Ocean: The Second Story -- Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
Well, things have been goin' on, and some people will easily get tired in playing LONG RPG games, but hey, Star Ocean is good and this guide made it even better! The book itself is already a treasurehouse of info, and after reading and going to things you haven't got into before, you'll be wanting to go back and start a new game, a better one that is.

Nicely written, and it tells you what you're supposed to do in order to get this, etc. Never fails. You'll always get what you want.

Accurate, reliable and entertaining even if read as a book alone. When you're not playing, reading those mini-portions of the book (like the Private Actions part) will always intrigue you, and the next time you turn on to play again, you'll be wanting to try it out, even if it's going to cost you some time.

The only thing is that the plots are given away. But heck, everyone knows as well as I do that strategy guides give plots away, so why should it bother anyway?

Overall, this is a great guide. Final words to describe it: useful, entertaining, reliable, accurate and attractive. This is the book for you! BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars All strategy guide authors should use this as a model..., July 14, 1999
This review is from: Star Ocean: The Second Story -- Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
This book is an absolute perfect example of THE ideal strategy guide. You get more than what you pay for with this one--virtually everything to be found in the game is explored in fine detail within these many pages. I say many because this is the absolute thickest guide I've ever seen written on one console game. No filler in between the pages either--this thing is PACKED with info and superbly clear, full-color screenshots to help you out in any situation. The maps were organized very well, as were the numerous tables with equipment, enemy, and skill stats. When you take a look at this guide, one wonders why the majority of strategy guides (from all publishers) are not nearly as complete as this one. This is money well worth spent for anyone who owns the excellent PlayStation game.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have if you want to uncover the secrets in Star Ocean, July 7, 1999

This review is from: Star Ocean: The Second Story -- Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
Not only is this game the best role-playing game for the PlayStation this year, it has an awesome strategy guide from Prima. If you want tips on item creation and side-quests, this is the book to have. The only problems with the strategy guide is that there is no map for the bonus dungeon and the boss tips could be more thorough. However, the great price from amazon.com makes it worth the measly 12 bucks you dish out for it!
