4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful!,

This review is from: Wizardry 8 VIII: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
This is definitely the kind of game a hintbook is useful for. There are a lot of puzzles. What do I do with that Alter? How do I open that strange lock? Sometimes, you have to come back much later in the game, and sometimes you can't progress until you figure it out - being able to know if I should worry about something now or later is worth the price of the book.It also has Alchemy and Gadgetry formulas, which is nice if you don't enjoy experimenting with that sort of thing. The regular manual is exceptionally good on things like classes, skills, and spells, so those chapters don't add much. The walkthrough isn't 100% accurate in the case of what items you may get, particularly out of chests where there's some randomness, but it does seem to cover all the plot points and major points of interest. I haven't easily found any great online resources for this game, and there's definite potential to get stuck, so I'd say this book is useful.

not bad,

This review is from: Wizardry 8 VIII: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
I found the book real useful. The is a lot of "fluff" in the beginning of it: lists of spells, races, classes etc., but the second half of the book is good. It gives you lots of useful information about the various areas and monsters in the game, and of course maps, and I found this information to be accurate. The game is so non-linear that the walthrough is pretty much guaranteed to not match your game completely, but it still gives you what you need to get past the areas where you get stuck.

A waste of time,

This review is from: Wizardry 8 VIII: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Strategy Guide) (Paperback)
The guide is littered with typos,misinformation,and an incomplete bestiary.Mr Walker should be ashamed of himself for writing such a piece of trash.The internet has better strategy guides available for free.There was no cohesive order to the basic walkthrough as well.
