The guide is easy to use, imformative and extremely helpful on the later levels, like the Warrens. Their maps are right on, a must have for anyone that wants to do more than the main quests.

I trhink that the guide is a neccesary item to go along with the game because not only does it give you all the information on clan choices and blood powers, but sometimes in gameplay they don't adequately give you the control information, and without the guide you'd just be guessing and possibly get killed.

This is a prette decent book. Especially the initial part is helpful in getting started in the game and finding your way around. It provides a good overview of the different types of characters you can play and provides some guidance in possible ways of developing these characters and how to use the character's skills.

The second part of the book is a plain walk through. This becomes a cheat-sheet more than anything else. You can probably find this on the Internet. I would have wished for more overall strategy.

This is a very attractive and comprehensive guide to the game, and very cheap considering the quality of the paper & images.
My only complaint is that the order of the "missions" inside, which tend to be in no particular order concerning their placement. Missions that I encountered early on in the game I had to dig around into the back of the guide to find; and oftentimes the book would break up the mission depending on how many parts it entailed, rather than listing out the full specs of the mission in one convenient place.
Other than that, I would recommend this book to anyone who owns the game. The price alone is an amazing bargain, and the helpful information - as well as directions towards hidden quests/items - is not only useful, but fun!

I was happy to find this strategy guide at a decent price. I'd had the game since it came out but decided that it would be nice to have the guide a little late. It was a loved copy but still taken care of and it came across just as advertised and the shipment came in a day early. This was a great investment.

The guide hands well for version 1, but with the unofficial updates, is a little superfical, and irrelevant.
