Firstly, I need to say that I've not read the book from cover to cover. Heck, I've probably only read about two pages worth of information at this time. I wasn't looking for spoilers, and I plan to use the book on my second run through of the game.

What I would like to comment on is the quality of the book. Some little things that you may not notice when looking at a computer screen of the item. The Collector's Edition of the book is a hardcover beauty. The image of Starkiller on the front cover is actually embossed, a nice little surprise. Open the cover, and on the bottom of the inside front cover is a limited edition number. It's a six-digit number, so I'm assuming that at least 100,000 of this will/have been printed. My copy, which arrived on release day was something like 25,000 or so in its number. Again, something else I wasn't expecting, but made a nice addition.

As far as the actual content of the book? It looks to be laid out in the same manner as the Prima guide for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The primary difference in this is that the Wii material is not broken out into its own book, it's in the main bulk of the book through the walk-throughs, with the exception of breaking out the Wii only combat section. The art in the back is pretty snazzy. Some of the concept art is traditional art, while there are some beautiful renders from the game.

Hope this helps to decide if you really want the collector's edition, or if the paperback version is all you need.

The book came in realy good conditions, and it's limited editionand collector's edition with a uniquely number!!! who ever likes and enjoys star wars must get this guide book.

This book was a great edition to the game. I only bother getting Game Guides to games that I know have extensive "easter eggs" and such. This beautifully designed and artfilled collector's edition is completely worth the buy. The indepth details to the easter eggs, and the maps is fantastic. But if your also looking for something that will show you the extra's without giving away the game secrets? Your in look... the books has quick look maps with the finds displayed WITHOUT giving the details to each level. It's perfect for whatever way you want to use it.

The Force Unleashed II can be completed to 100% in around eight hours (all items, all difficulties, all Achievements / Trophies). The only stuff you'd really need to look up would be the locations of the holocrons, and perhaps some strategies for the Trials. You can find all of that information for free online.

The only reason to buy this book is if you have $20 burning a hole in your pocket, and you'd like a nice looking book to add to your gaming collection. Far be it from me to judge, I've done the same thing with Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. However, if you can think of something better to spend your $20 on (like say, more games), you'd do well to avoid this book.
