4.0 out of 5 stars A Walkthrough, without the spoilers, October 4, 2006

By	citan-uzuki "citan-uzuki" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This strategy guide did a credible job of helping me locate important items without spoiling the plot. Without this book, I would have missed out on most of the sidequests and optional battles. You can only access some of these extra features of the game during a specific point in the story.

This guide will offer less assistance to the player compared to your average walkthrough. However, I believe that was done in order to prevent spoiling the complex story of Xenosaga III.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide, November 13, 2006

By	Zorro (Out West) - See all my reviews

As always Bradygames provides a stellar guide, but this one is a cut above most other strategy guides. It includes an in-depth look at the characters and the history of the xenosaga trilogy. I recommend this guide to any xenosaga fan or newcomer. I personally only use the walk-through on as-needed basis, but having the guide is great for discovering every secret this game has to offer.

4.0 out of 5 stars The walkthrough starts on page 122., September 17, 2006

By	R. Haynes "IBeGaming" (Washington) - See all my reviews

There are 240 pages in this walkthrough but the walkthrough doesn't actually start until page 120 with a picture.
As phobia said in a previous review, there are no maps. The guide says there are no spoilers in the guide either; which can be a good thing. The guide has a list of points of interest, items, and enemies' chart, for each section you are doing.
There are many pictures within the paragraphs as an example of what they are talking about. For instance, on page 122 and 123 where the actual walkthrough starts there are the previous mentioned lists and five (5) pictures showing what the area looks like.
I have not played the game yet, and since I will not be playing it anytime soon, I did read the beginning of the walkthrough, and they describe really well what areas to explore and come back to so you can save, and what enemies etcetera you will be having to fight and/or items to be found.
I have a game and guide collection so I would have bought the guide regardless, but having said this I still think the guide will help a lot when playing the game.
