Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete: Prima's Unauthorized Strategy Guide

Rating:
Summary: Walkthroughs were OK, but better off not using it
Review: Walkthoughs OK. They are mostly hand drawn, and in b&w. I found better help on webpages. I ended up not even using the book because of it's inaccuracy. There are many webpages out there that have full color screen shots that are not hand drawn, and dont spoil the game. I would not recommend this book.

Summary: An Average Stategie guide
Review: Well, maybe she did, but not too many readers of this guide would disagree with that statement if they have tried to use it. Inaccurate lists (as they refer to equipment found in the Japanese version of the game), incomplete (and confusing) maps, plot spoilers, and tons of white filler space are what this "guide" is riddled with. Most everything all the other reader reviews have said about this book is true. I couldn't suggest you buy the official guide (which is EXCELLENT) or even the July 1999 issue of Expert Gamer magazine, both of which give you something that qualify as a strategy. An obviously rushed job, expect no boss or fighting tactics to be found, nor any of the game's secrets. It's not the worst game guide in existence (believe me, I've read hundreds)--that honor still goes to Prima's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night guide (check my review for that as well for a good laugh). Still, avoid at all costs.
