4.0 out of 5 stars Good but seeking improvement, September 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Super Mario 64 Game Secrets: Unauthorized (Prima's Secrets of the Games) (Paperback)

Deifnitely useful for those hard to figure out steps! Yet there were errors, I noticed a bunch, and some things were undetailed. The snapshots were pretty good, but occasionally confusing. This book was pretty good, but if you can find something more detailed, buy that instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good., January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Super Mario 64 Game Secrets: Unauthorized (Prima's Secrets of the Games) (Paperback)

This book had many typing errors. But the content was so helpful, I gained almost 20 stars in the game by using it. I think Hill should use a little bit more room to tell, in more detail, about different stars. Overall, it was outstanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but with a few problems, November 9, 2003

Here, I noticed this was a great guide, but with a few errors here and there. One is that the author doesn't know the names of the courses, even if they are right in the game. He calls them Bomb World, Tower World, Water World, Snow World, Haunted Mansion, Cavern World, Fire World, Desert World, Submarine World, Snowman World, Water Puzzle World, Mushroom World, Green Pipe World, Clockwork World, and Magic Carpet World. Also, I noticed several spelling errors. The thing that annoyed me the most is that I noticed switched pictures. Yes, and there were A LOT!!! For example, the caption for one picture really goes with the other picture. Good, but with these errors. The author should've noticed these switched pictures and sent out a new revised version of the guide.
