Sometimes You Are Better Off on Your Own,
By Marc Ruby™ "The Noh Hare™" (Warren, MI USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: .hack Infection (Part 1) Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
.Hack - Infection is not a complicated game. Despite all the marketing hype is a basic hack-and-slash, run dungeons until you drop mentality. The plot of the game is minimalistic (although the plots of the associated DVD and the TV series are exactly the opposite). So it is only fair for you to ask why I decided to pick up the strategy guide. Well, there was this embarrassing thing about equipment manipulation I was slow to figure out, and maps of the dungeons are always comforting.My early warning that all was not right was when I still had to figure out my problem myself. In fact, this guide says very little about the fine points of operating the game and the characters. Almost as little as the game itself. And, since there is nothing complicated about the way the dungeons are constructed the maps are only good for making sure I hadn't missed any important treasures. I admit that the narrative as told in the book is considerably more extensive than in the game itself. And the extensive tables are very useful - except when they are wrong. Which is what has me so irritated - errors that create non-productive game play. These are generally about which characters or critters have something that would be useful to have. You have to weigh this disadvantage against the value of the information included, and I find that this is a guide written a little before it should have been. I don't think the book is as value added as it should be, especially since the game itself forces you to take the right path through. I've complained at other times about guides that exist mostly to make money of a game, and this is one of them. If you are looking for a slickly illustrated book about the game this might be exactly your cup of tea. Since understanding the fine details of .Hack/Infection is not necessary for a successful win you will probably feel, as I do, that I simply should have tried to go it alone a little longer. One last thing, the author isn't Dan Birlew but Doug Walsh.

Perfect help.,

This review is from: .hack Infection (Part 1) Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I purchased this guide together with the game, and I dont know what I would do without it. Its perfect! I didnt complete the game yet, but Im got through half of it. And not once yet did i have to go on the internet to get extra information. It has in it all of the info for sidequests, like how to raise the perfect grunty. Also, it tells you when the major boss is coming, and if there is only 1 way to defeat that boss - you can refer to the guide. You dont have to waste your money to buy Fairy orbs for dungeons (things that open a dungeon map for you), because you can just follow the guide. I rarely buy guides for video game but I think this one is worth it.

good, but missing some key info,
This review is from: .hack Infection (Part 1) Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
This guide isn't bad but it is missing some key info.
1. Left out some item location. a few item locations were left out. While they are not that important, that shouldnt happen at all. 2. Did not provide repsond for each character. Through out the game you can email you party member to gain GP. The proper respond allows you to gain extra points. 3. Did not cover enough on the very important Monsieur and Grandpa sidequest. Other than that the guide has everything you would need about this game.
