Summary: Too much and not enough
Review: This book contains just enough info to be a spoiler, not enough to be particularly usefull. The book is great for giving away the plot without revealing solutions for puzzels. Vital locations are only given the vaguest of hints, while the book seems to go out of its way to reveal all the plot devices. The maps aren't particularly helpfull, especially since the automap feature does as good a job. NOTE: The maps do not reveal the locations of secret doors (unless it leads to something vital in completing the quest)

Summary: The Standard Prima Strategy Guide...
Review: This book gets the job done, and it gets the job done well. It displays much-needed stats, and also has some general pointers. Nothing groundbreaking, but if you're stuck on MMVI, this will definitely help.

Summary: NOT A STRATEGY GUIDE
Review: This guide offers some help but dost tell you where to go or what to do, some quests that you get are too tough for your party to handle. The monsters that you run into are way too many for your party to take on in real time combat for example it does not tell you about ambushes when you open chests like the ones in the Temple of Baa.The guide does offer some help in spells,weapons,armour,skills and monsters but that about it,it does not tell you what party to take. If you want a book with maps and some help buy it, but it will not walk you through the game, you will have to run and shoot alot in the dungeons.This book does guide you through quests but it does not tell you about what monsters are there waiting for your party. I bought it for the maps and locations of dungeons,fountains,towns and items in the dungeons.It tells you where to go in the dungeons to get what you whant.This book is addictive so get ready to use it alot happy adventuring.

Summary: So-So
Review: This is a so-so strategy guide. I'll take it chapter by chapter: Chapter 1: A good description of the history of Might and Magic, but you can't really go wrong with that. Chapter 2: A great instruction on how to build a good party. Chapter 3: An excellent and accurate description of every monster in the game, save for a few bosses (they're more fun to figure out, anyways) Chapter 4: A good description of all spells in the game, with some screenshot graphics thrown in. Chapter 5: Not too useful. This item guide shows you the exact same thing as you can see on the screen. Chapter 6: You can't really complain about this chapter, it tells you all about the skills well. Chapter 7: A pretty pointless chapter, you can find out all the information by talking to npc's. Chapter 8: Informative information about all types of locations in the game. Unfortunately, it does not tell you about where on the grid each location is, only what grid it is on. Chapter 9: A good description of the main part of the game. It spoils very little. Unfortunately, it does not tell you about where you will get ambushed along the way. Chapter 10: It shows you about all that is possible about the promotion quests, and the seer. Chapter 11: Not quite detailed enough. However, it provides adequate information about the minor quests that will be your lifeblood until you get fairly far. Appendix: The territorial maps are fairly good. However, they don't tell you where shops are, nor do they say where important houses are (it can be very frustrating spending hours looking for the bone-buyer in Free Haven) Overall, this book had guided me to where I am now, midway through the control center, without making it too easy for me or spoiling it, but still helping me and preventing me from getting stuck. Thanks for reading.

Summary: Standard Prima Guide
Review: This is a standard Prima guide. Worth the price if all you want is some statistics, general hints, and the like. Nothing exeptional, but gets the job done.

Summary: You need help ? Here is help !
Review: What do I look for in a strategy guide ? I want to get advise but not a complete solution. So if you are looking for the same, Prima's Strategy Guide to The Mandate of Heaven is just the thing. Very detailed description of monsters, weapons, locations etc. but you have to find your way through the puzzles yourself and hopefully beat all the monsters you meet. And this is a task in itself. Have fun.
