5.0 out of 5 stars A must have in playing and winning RTCW, April 20, 2002

By	anneliese39 "anneliese39" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I just completed playing RTCW. This book made it possible. It gave quick concise directions and tips for finding secret areas, treasure and how to kill/defeat Nazis and monsters. This is a must if you plan to play RTCW with knowledge. The guides with the game are never adequate in explaining strategy and providing maps to each level.

A definite must have for playing this game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amateur Writing at its finest, January 4, 2003

By	"ceres_r" (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

You would think that a book of this nature that one author would suffice however Prima credited no less than four authors expertise on the RtCW game.

I found the writing to be extremely childish however for my purposes the content sufficed. The guide does exactly what it is expected to do which is to walk the novice Wolfensteiner through the pc platform version of the game. ... Save your money and check the net instead for further reference....

2.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, but..., February 19, 2003

This review is from: Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I have to agree with ceres r that this book is hardly worth the money. The writing, like in many strategy guides, is very poor, but it does get the job done. However, I find it hard to believe that anyone would need help with the single-player in the first place. The best part about wold is the multi-play, and this is where hte book really comes up short.

I would reccomend searching the net for walkthroughs and tips. Save your money for something more useful, like the upcoming expansion for wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!
