5.0 out of 5 stars Not a cheat but rather a helpful guide through the game., December 28, 2000

By	Randy A Metzger "ranman1028" (Red Lion, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I made it through the game before I bought this book. I was unable to save/find all the "slaves" on the first go around so I bought the book to help with the unknowns. This is not a book to be used to cheat the game or make it easier to get "around" obstacles. Even though it tells you what to do and where to go you still have to preform the moves and button combinations to succeed at the task at hand. The book is laid out well and has very colorfull and detailed pictures of the game areas. People that don't have the game would find it entertaining. And yes, after using the book I did save all the slaves and gained access to the bonus at the end of the game.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Really Needed, February 25, 2000

By	"triquel" (Everett, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to solve the seemingly impossible, how to survive the hard spots and find secret escapes or avoid things altogther. The book is good, but it has none of that in it. Instead it tells you what you already know, run here, jump there. There are no cheat codes, or insight into how to make the bad guys go away. The book just offers what I had already figured out, doing the things required is another matter entirely. If you have the reflexes of a lab rat on huge quantities of caffeine you can do as the game requires, and the book reiterates. Otherwise it won't shed any light on more than some hidden levels, but those could've been found eventually without the book. Nice book, well laid out, but not very useful ultimately.
