3.0 out of 5 stars When You Don't Have a Good Alternative, December 27, 2005

By	Marc Ruby™ "The Noh Hare™" (Warren, MI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

There are two problems with Indigo prophecy. The first is that you may suddenly lose the game with nary a hint of why. This is because some of the events and conversations have unexpected dependencies. And second, you can also win the game in a very short time with nary a clue what you did right, or what you missed in the process. So without a game guide, odds are very good that you will find the game unsatisfactory for one reason or another.

That being said, this guide fills a very important role - it greatly increases the players enjoyment of the game. And it does so in a very plain spoken and straightforward manner. It is a walkthrough with pictures and not frills. Unfortunately, the text has a habit of referring to the pictures, especially when the picture is really to muddy to quite make out. This can get on your nerves quickly.

Still, it's the only guide for this game there is, although you might want to look at some of the on-line walkthroughs before upping the cash for this. For some reason, Prima seems to specialize in game guides that are cheaply made and the same prices as the slick guides. But if you want to get the full 40 hours of play that Indigo Prophecy provides this is probably the best answer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Probably just enough, January 21, 2006

By	Lestor neeker Wong (Singapore) - See all my reviews

This guide uses a step-by-step walkthrough that is seldom seen in strategy guides nowadays, but credit to Prima for doing something that will appeal to people who really need to use a guide. It's like reading the Zelda: A Link to the Past again with the leading-you-by-the-hand approach. Then again, I guess this is the only way to present the walkthrough for this game.

For an official guide, however, it isn't exactly complete in its research for actions that may increase or decrease your character's stress levels. Some events are missing, which is not what you'd expect for an official guide. The frequent references to the screenshots are also somewhat unhelpful due to the poor quality of images.

Still, what this book does is that it provides an adequate amount of information for a player to go through the game at their own pace (providing said player can perform those button-pressing sequences correctly!). At least it tries to make things easier for the players by guiding them by the step. Overall, a fair effort that could be made better with a more detailed list of actions and sharper screenshots.
