usually these game guides are badly written or incomplete, but this one is great. All the details you need for everthing in the game. My only complaint is that you get small pictures on every page so you really have to look hard to see what is being described in the text. If you are stuck in the game this is worth having.

Panzer Dragoon Orta will redefine the way games are made. Arguably the best Xbox game currently, perfectionists will want to own this book that gives much exposition on secrets and comprehensive walkthroughs.

The walkthrough section deals mainly with the 10 storylines. Pointers and hints are given at tricky areas in the game; the determinant in your path options are also highlighted. Screenshots accompany each paragraph that teaches you the tricks of the trade. Tables are used to further illustrate the game's mechanics and enchances the over all usefulness of the guide.

Pandora's box no longer contains any secret once you get hold of this encyclopedia for PDO. Learn how to unlock 12 sub scenerios. Lots of CGs are unlockable, not just from this game, from the previous incarnations of Panzer Dragoons as well, mostly the introduction and ending CGs. Conditons that must be fulfilled for each extra to unveil itself are explicitly expressed in this gem. However, the S rankings walkthrough for sub scenerios and mini games are lacking. The criteria is there but you need to devise a strategy to achieve S rank yourself.

To sum it up, this is one of Prima's better efforts at putting together a superb guide.
