Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book for the money!
Review: I bought this book, despite the negative reviews and loved it! Prima's guide just looks better than it's competitors and if you actually read it, VERY easy to understand. If your stuck or lost, the maps alone are GREAT and worth every dime. Don't be fooled, this book is AWESOME!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Only a donkey would buy this guide.
Review: I simply can not believe Prima stays in business publishing guides of this "quality." It must be because you can't return the book once you've purchased it. That must be the explanation, because no other explanation makes sense. Stay away at all costs: buy the Nintendo guide.

Summary: Make Donkey Kong 64 look Really hard
Review: I think that this is simplely, the worse players guide I have ever bought and I don't think that this would be a good book to buy for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you are confused about all the bad ratings, read this!
Review: Ok, All prima guides are a little hard to understand. these facts are: undetailed maps (what are we, 5 year olds? if you can read the maps, go for it.) Information sometimes typoed and unorganized. (In the Jet Force Gemini guide, it looks like is is messed up, look for the white lines, as for typos, people like these critics can report it, and Prima will change it.) See? this guide is also intended for slightly advanced readers. if you do not like this book, look at the Nintendo version of the strategy guide.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book Out There
Review: Prima has out done itself this time. With all the maps as to where each Golden Banana is or where each Banana Fairy may be hiding, this book clearly tells all you need to know. With detailed guides and maps for each of the characters, this book is one of the most helpful that I have ever used.

Summary: Not Highly Recommended
Review: This is not a neat, concise type of guide. Some guides are beautifully organized and highly informative--this one is not. I guess it's somewhat helpful but if you've got to pick one guide, go with the other "official" one by Brady, or, if it's different from Brady, the Nintendo one would be better for your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only a donkey wouldn't buy this book!
Review: This is one of two strategy guides I used to play this game. Initially, I was a little lost trying to match the information in the first chapter of the "Walkthrough Section" of the book to the game I saw in front of me. It leads you to believe that the "DK Isles" area is the first area to tackle but much of this area is inaccessible to you until much later in the game. If you skip that section and begin with the "Jungle Japes" section you'll be starting where the game begins and the information is very helpful from there.

This guide is especially helpful with the two "arcade" style games that you will encounter during the adventure. Winning these games will give you two unique coins that are vital to gaining access to the final area of the game. Details of how each of these games look and what must be accomplished will help anyone not familiar with these original 1980's games. My huge disadvantage from having never played either of these games was lessened by these instructions.

The other guide I used was "Donkey Kong 64 Official Strategy Guide" by Bradygames. It's definitely worth taking a look at too. Both books were invaluable to me for different reasons. Together, they helped make my game experience much more enjoyable by clarifying details I would have missed on my own.
