1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!, August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Warzone 2100 (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

I was already disappointed with the manual that comes with the game: They tell you that the technical reference is too extensive and plug you to buy the Prima Strategy book which I unfortunately did. It is partly a strategy guide and partly a technical supplement. More strategy guide than otherwise. I was hoping there would be a good description with tips on how to use the various functions in the game. What was most disappointing was that the icons in the building screen (one of the most important features in the game) are not described either in the manual or the strategy book. The book does give a description of each technical advancement and there is a chart at the end of the book. If you do think about getting this book look at it first. One thing to mention: The documentation might be lacking but the game is FANTASTIC!

5.0 out of 5 stars I thougght this was a very informative book., August 21, 1999

Warzone 2100 official strategy guide was a very very informative book. It helped me get through the toughest parts with ease. I really enjoyed the list of technologies it had and what they were, etc. Prima is the best people i have found for stratagy on games. I have bought many of there books, such as Warcraft 2 and Diablo. Warcraft 2 was great because it had the maps for the campaign on it. Anyways, there is no bad things to say about this book. if i could I'd give it 10 stars.

Although I have played this game for a while it remains challenging and fun. This is not say it is without frustration, but generally for all you diehard fans of the genre it will make you crave a sequel or maybe even a prequel! I found the controls a little bit cumbersome making gameplay at times clumsy. The variety of units and situations compensates for this shortfalling. If I were to make anychanges at all, I would make more powerful longrange artillery pieces as well as more airsupport options. Another hinderance is the organization of battle groups. More battle groups should be an option as well as the way these groups follow their orders.All and all, despite these small annoyances, the action is enough to keep many an armchair general busy for a while.
