Customer Reviews

Hardly comprehensive
It's quite simple really. If you write this kind of book, it should be in the game and it should be fairly comprehensive. Not so in this case.

This is a shiney book which, at first glance, seems to give all you game spoilers out there a complete guide to 'how to' but there are inaccuracies and omissions from the game (bits missing).

I started using this book when I was bored with the game and wanted to see if I had missed anything, but instead of adding to my gaming experience I found myself adding to the book as a lot is missed out.

Shame! Still, if you are the kind of person who likes to take the fun out of the hard way then this is a good place to start.

PS - If you get this book, don't bust a gut looking for the Adv. Champion HF shield, you can't get it anywhere.
