4.0 out of 5 stars It's more than just a guide, May 21, 2006

Inevadibly, as with most Tomb Raider games, most players need to use the guide. While for Legends, the game is pretty straightforward enough that you don't really need a guide, but if you're a perfectionist who likes to know where ~every~ secret of the game is then this book is for you. Certainly, you don't need to know where all of the secrets are to get through the game, but hey...if you want to see Lara run around in a near skin toned bikini you have to know what to do to get that, right? (And yes the game does have a near skin toned bikini for Lara to wear).

But it tells you more than just how to move the blocks around properly to see her in a bikini, there is also he story of the evolution of the game from the first 1996 adventure to the present and a 12 page behind the scenes look at the present game.

Unlike some of the previous TR guides that are somewhat hard to follow, this has a format that is certainly easy to follow, which includes maps and notes on specific problem areas.

All in all, well worth the extra few bucks you put out for the game and the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now THIS is a Guide ... A REAL Guide That is Worthy!, July 10, 2006

I own quite a few official game guides (about 15) which range everywhere from poor to excellent. While mostly all of them are of a high quality VISUALLY, not all of them are of a high quality TEXTUALLY (ie: actually help you and show / tell you things that you wouldn't know otherwise). Sometimes, they are not much more than a glorified manual with some very high-level steps (hints) to follow.

This guide does well VISUALLY and TEXTUALLY, and does them the best that I have encountered so far. The detail in this guide is unsurpassed (most important quality for me). Combined with excellent presentation, layout, and quantity of material, this guide just screams quality, and in my bold opinion, is worthy of a higher price tag. I don't know if it is a job well done by Piggyback Interactive, the authors, editors, or a total team effort, but quite simply, this is the best I've seen yet.
