Amazon.com Review

Even if you've seen and memorized the entire movie, you probably won't be able to fight your way through The Phantom Menace PC game without breaking a sweat. This is a fairly challenging game and one that can be quite frustrating in some areas. To help minimize your frustration, Prima's strategy guide for The Phantom Menace offers a complete, well-illustrated walkthrough for each of the game's 11 sections. Additionally, the book provides a quick rundown of every character in the game, along with a brief description of the many weapons and objects you'll encounter. The walkthroughs are fairly easy to follow, thanks in large part to the plentiful screenshots that illustrate important events and locations. Also, the book calls out secret areas as you encounter them in the walkthrough, so you won't miss any hidden goodies in your travels. However, this strategy guide is a little thin in some areas. There are no cheat codes included, and the book sometimes provides skimpy advice with no explanation. (For example, at one point you read that you should not let Queen Amidala trail too far behind you, but you are not told what will happen if you do.) Still, it's a good resource for making your way through a difficult game. If you're battling your way through The Phantom Menace and are running into obstacles that you can't quite overcome, this book can certainly help. Note: This strategy guide covers both the PC and Sony PlayStation versions of the game. --Mike Ryan

This review is from: Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

This is one of the most best strategy guides for my game. I got stuck on Level 2, and now with this guide I'm on level 9. Why, it even tells you what dialogue options to say! And finally, it reaveals a way to get rid of those pesky destroyer droids! No nook, no cranny, is left untouched in this book. A MUST BUY.....

This review is from: Star Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

I couldn't even finish the first level until I bought this book! Now, five days later, I'm on level nine. This book includes helpful maps and tells where all the secret areas are. I just wish it included some cheat codes.
