Summary: Half Life Strategy guide
Review: A very thurough walkthrough covering just about everything, and very useful description of enemies and strategies to handle them. My only complaint is that the maps could have been better.

Summary: If this is not a survival guide , then nothing else is...
Review: Half-Life is a huge game (H-L players already know that!).Dis-orientation is likely to happen and does happen unless you have this guide. Prima has done it once more! The walkthroughts are accurate and easy (or so) to follow even for the novice player of such games . Advanced players though should only use it only when the going gets tough .After all what mostly this book achieves is that it is a non player-level dependent guide.

Summary: An excellent information source for all concerned!
Review: I beat "Half Life" before even opening this book, but I still found it to contain plenty of useful information and tips even for the experienced gamer. If you're getting this book for the walkthrough only, then you'd probably be better off not purchasing it. You can find many detailed walkthroughs online (albeit not quite as detailed as the one found here, but still detailed enough to understand.) On the other hand, if you want to pick up a few new tricks to beat enemies, or load yourself with information on the weapons, beasts, levels, and tactics than this book is definitely for you. The walkthrough itself was very good, although, as I said before, not worth the price of the book. It includes clear pictures and precise details about where to go, what to shot, what to do, and how to do it. Other sections include information on all items you can pick up, and all enemies you will face. There is also a "tips and tricks" section of the book for the game, explaining various tactics that are useful for different situations. Near the back of the book, as well, there is a chapter dedicated to tactics for multiplayer games. Even though I haven't tried playing online or over a network yet, the advice seemed to be quite sound and reasonable.I enjoyed the book immensely, and it's a definite must for any serious "Half-Life" player.

Summary: Great Guide
Review: I got this guide after I beat the game for entertainment. I started to read it and it's a great guide to me it showed some secret places I haven't been to and how to complete some situations in an easier fashion. I reccommend it to anyone.

Summary: WHAT I REALLY THOUGHT OF IT
Review: If your as tired of vague and unrelated reviews as much as I am, here is the no bull$hit deal. A very good stragedy book as far as the script, very small and uncolored illustrations, but not that neccessary due to the detail of the step by step walk-through. The first part of the book is an extensive stragedy section, as well as overviews of all weapons and enemies. With tips thrown in the whole way through, I had no 30 minute "where the f@ck do I go now" sessions.

Summary: very good as hintbooks go, but overpriced
Review: It must be remembered that the average deserved rating of a computer hintbook these days is about negative 2; worse than useless. This guide must be considered against that rather forgiving set of expectations. The quality of the enemy and equipment briefing is very high, as is the walkthrough. My only quarrel with the walkthrough is the difficulty of visualization with regard to the maps. For US$20, you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to draw a couple of stupid arrows. Another black mark is that this is one of the *most* obvious examples of PC game manual blackmail. "We'll just put in a thin, lame manual with the game, then sign up for Prima to do the manual we should have included, and we'll take a percentage of all the royalties. That's easier than selling the game for what it costs us to produce a respectable manual." We all know it's how things are, but we don't have to like it. Of the above, only the US$20 expense involved in the hintbook is factored into the final rating. Recommended for the value of its information, but a lot of what's here should have been in the manual and is not.
