Customer Reviews

Beware inadvertant spoilers
This is an excellent guide to an excellent game and will no doubt add to your enjoyment of the game in finding all the items and achieving success in the quests.

However, there is one completely stupid thing in the guide. The Achievements section is in an Appendix with the location of the Bobble-Head figures that boost skills/Stats. On the facing page to this appendix is the various outcomes for the Game Ending!!!! It is extremely easy for a wayward glance during a scan of the appendix to see a game-breaking spoiler> Such a decision and not leaving a blank facing page has made me dock this guide a point.

So, caveat emptor. Enjoy the guide but take care it doesn't blow the whole game.

Includes A Poster Map....
I'm in agreement with the content of the other reviews, although I tend to read the relevant sections after I've completed the tasks/missions, just out of further interest....

The only thing I will add is this volume DOES include an A3 double sided poster map with all Zones and places marked on it, which I have found to be very useful. This is not clear on the product information.

Precise... perhaps too precise
This is one of those "go to X kill the mutant on the left, pick up the item on the right, hack the waterfountain to gain access to...." guides. Because it's full details of what foes are at what location and what rewards you will recieve for kiling them it takes away much of the sense of surprise that makes the game enjoyable. If you are like me and just wanted some (ok lots of) handy tips about the game rather than a walk through you might want to look else where, probably some forums. That said if you want to know every nuance of the game then this is as complete a guide as you will find.
