2.0 out of 5 stars Once Again, Prima Fails To Deliver, November 24, 2007

By	Miranda Bogardus (Springfield, VT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii): Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)

I strongly discourage the purchase of this guide. Prima demonstrates in this guide that, yet again, if you can't play the game their way, you can't play it at all. The guide is set up in a step-by-step format, telling you specifically what characters to be used, and when they are to be used, turn-by-turn. Because of Fire Emblem's chanciness, the advice offered by this guide is just short of absolutely useless. Utter garbage. Its sole saving grace is the art featured throughout the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars I like... the artwork., July 9, 2004

By	danielle (USA) - See all my reviews

I was flipping through my friend's Fire Emblem Strategy Guide, and I almost died laughing wondering why he even bought the book. I don't think it was worth $14.99 (or $10.49 for Amazon :P), except for the artwork.

The strategies weren't that fabulous. Actually, a player could have done better on his (or her, in my case) own without the book. The game is not that hard, although at times rather long and frustrating (but beatable). However, I did have trouble in one stage, and I read the guide, and I thought it wasn't worth it. Well, the guide did point out some hard-to-find secrets, though, but that's about it.

Side note: There are some grammatical errors and whatnot - in books like these, there shouldn't be errors like that. Where was its editor?

One thing I do like is the official (anime) artwork. It's beautifully drawn, and there's lots of it, too. A decent buy for people who like anime gaming artwork.

If you're looking for help on the game, I suggest you look somewhere else. Anime artwork, you might want to consider this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide to Winner's Circle, April 14, 2004

By A Customer

This guide gives you every item you need to beat all of the different obstacles you may (..cough cough..) be struggling on. It has all of the levels in detail and gives you the information you want, not the boring stuff like where to find some stupid item worth nothing. It also can help you squeeze by any seemingly impossible obstacle. Either way it is a great guide book.
