4.0 out of 5 stars I'm a little insulted..., August 30, 2003

By	Nite - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

I'm a little insulted that the previous reviewers have reviewed the guide based on the GAME! For a GUIDE this is actually very well done. I admit you won't need it but that's no reason to give the guide one star when we're asking how good the GUIDE is not whether or not you'll need it. I wouldn't buy the guide either but somehow it's on my shelf.

The guide is nicely done with a nice layout and clear to do instructions. I'll admit that there's no reason to purchase a guide to Zone of the Enders because the game does tell you exactly what to do...but the Final Fantasy games tell you exactly what to do yet we still buy those guides...and for FFVII everything in that is self-explanatory and yet that guide sells like crazy.

Anyway, that would be the con is that it's basically a script of the game if you will. It covers the secrets but Z.O.E isn't really full of them, and the only secret worth getting (or not worth it) was the vs. mode.

Still, the guide itself is pretty good and should you actually need a guide for it (which I REALLY doubt you will) then go on out an buy it. But the game is about as self-explanatory as any other game out there. Still, the guide needs to be reviewed on it's content and that's what I tried to do in this review. There's nothing much I can say. It has detailed maps and covers the entire game with no hassle at all. Still, you won't need it.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Book [Is Bad]!, April 28, 2001

By A Customer

... it vaguely tells you how to beat the game. It is supposedto tell in detail all the special moves and secret gameplay options but all it tells you is things that are already in the instruction manual, or things that ADA tells you during the game. I don't reccomend buying this book unless you are really stuck in some place, which shouldn't be a factor seeing as though the game is so short.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why?, October 18, 2001

By	William J. Fox "billfy" (NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What on Earth would you need a guide to this game for? The game is so simple and straight forward. All Guides are good for is walkthroughs, and maybe some special moves, but this game tells you where to go, and there aren't really any special moves. So why buy it?
