2.0 out of 5 stars
Weak, hard-to-read, and not much help., September 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Twisted Metal: Black (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
I don't know why the layout people at Prima seem to think that every page has to be saturated wall-to-wall with all kinds of dark colors and graphics. Combined with the funky fonts and goofy layouts, it's hard to read, and the maps (which to me are key) are a fuzzy, low-contrast mess that don't convey any information about the exact locations of key items/areas, no indication of the 3D natures of the terrain (like where walls are, or where "one-way" jumps are, etc.) It also offers little in the way of strategy per level as different vehicle types, and virtually no information about the nuances/strategies of playing as the different vehicles. No cheat codes are offered, nor any indication of what you can expect to unlock for doing certain things. It'd be so easy to do one of these right, if they'd take the time. Personally, I just want useful info that's clear, complete, and easy to find, and not some "xtreme", over-the-top graphic-heavy fluff. I'm sure if they took the time to ask, even the younger audience would agree.

Strong, but could have been better, July 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Twisted Metal: Black (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
This official strategy guide provides a great supplement to the instruction booklet included with the Twisted Metal Black game. The descriptions of the various weapons and cars are first-rate. So, too, are the descriptions of each character. My one complaint is that the maps of the many levels are a little hard to follow and not as detailed as one would like. Overall, though, this guide is solid and a must-have if you are going to battle successfully with Sweet Tooth, Mr. Grimm and all the other inmates of the Asylum. Sweet Tooth is BACK!!!

This review is from: Twisted Metal: Black (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
the twisted metal:black srategy guide is not a very helpful book if u ask me. when u read to find out where secrets r, yeah they tell u but it dont make sence. the only thing i used the book for was to find the hidden characters, i pretty much found axel, and manslaughter on my own, but the rest i used the book. the book even says that minion has secrets, but its a strategy guide they should at least ell u how to find them!
