5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful guide-the only one out there that I know of!, April 25, 1999

By A Customer

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

I found this stratedgy guide to be extremely helpful. I have been playing this game for a while but until I read the guide I really could not score as high as I do now. Many pointers as to how to kill the many "Big Bugs" at the end of each level. I liked it and disagree with the writer from Texas. All of the stratedgy guides I have for all other games (which cost much, much more are in black and white as well. I'm happy! Thanks Knights.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for a guide/strategy book, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

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

The authors good intentions fell short in helping one better understand the game strategy and ability to figure out problems encountered in the various missions. Black and white illustrations were hard to decipher and help topics were too brief, often only one sentence, to be of much aid. More text content and color photographs would have made for a much nice guide. Although one will find some help topics of interest, the player will still have to mostly depend upon their own trial and error mistakes to learn how to advance in this game.
