A simply beautiful book - even if you don't want help!
I spent the best part of 2 hours reading this book from cover to cover. Even before I started to play the game I took time to read everything there was to know. The book offers something for everybody - even if you are determined to complete the game on your own there is still plenty to learn from the interviews and concept art. The book provides an in-depth look at how the game was created and how Lara has progressed since her debut appearance in the original Tomb Raider.

For those who are looking for 100% completion, look no further! The book contains an easy-to-follow walkthrough for each level, an area map for each level displaying the locations of each secret and a fully comprehensive 'Extras' section at the back of the book which shows players how to unlock all the rewards in the game. Even if you only need help on a little bit of the game, it takes just seconds to find the bit you need to help you open that crucial door.

Overall, the book is informative, easy to use, easy to digest and simple wonderful to look at.

Fabulous!
This guide is perfect. It has a whole section on tips and strategy to help you play through Tomb Raider: Legend, and then comes the Walkthrough part. Now, I do wish the maps were perhaps slightly clearer, as it can be difficult to find out where you are in the game, but the very informative text is also accompanied by colour screenshots to help you find that all important switch, ledge, or item.
At the back of the guide is the Extras section. This is a guide to finding all of the 'Rewards', and it offers detailed information on the unlockables, and how to complete the 'Time Trials'. There's also a very in-depth interview with the Crystal Dynamics team, which I found highly interesting.
There's also several pages covering the old Tomb Raider games. Although Tomb Raiders II, III, Last Revelation, and Chronicles have only an overview, the part about the original Tomb Raider just blew my mind. It looks at every level and describes the best bits in such an flawlessly well-written way, it made me feel very nostalgic, and it really does the first game justice, even though it has been (in need of a better word) casually tossed aside as new and improved games have been released.
All in all, a fantastic book with a wealth of information to see you safely through Tomb Raider: Legend, whether you're simply checking to see where that artifact was, or following it religiously.
Note: I would STRONGLY advise that you play the game through without the walkthrough first, as it would be an insult to how beautifully the game is made if you didn't take in all the wondrous sights! I played Legend without the guide, but when I got stuck I checked just to see where I was going wrong. I recommend you do the same!

A great book even for thoughs who dont want help
This Guide is fab. Every level is detailed with pictures and a map of the area. I have flicked through and read some of the guide as well as used some of it when playing the game for my pc. This guide is also perfect because not only does it show you all the details of where to go in the levels and where the awards are, it also shows you all the production and creation put into making this game . I find this guide full of loads of info and interesting notes not just on how to play the game but also the game its self.

I give the guide 5 stars. And at only a small price its a piece of tomb raider history.
