Wonderful guide from start to finnish

As a person who loves the Metroid series, I enjoy beating each game 100%, without having to backtrack too many times. For me, Metroid Prime was the only game in the series where I found myself backtracking more than an average Metroid fanatic might like, and it caused me to put the game down for a couple of years. However when I got this guide just a month ago, I was able to fully enjoy this wonderful game for the first time. The guide is very detailed. The maps have all the powerups shown and numbered (for missiles, powerbombs, and energy tanks) before each section of the guide. Not only that, but the guide was also made so a person could play the game from start to finnish without backtracking too much and get 100% on your first play. Now this is what I wanted from this guide and it nailed it. The guide is easy to read, has information boxes to tell you when certain expansions will become available, and also provides, for the most part, fairly good strategies as to defeating tough enemies and bosses. I recommend this guide for anyone who fells they have had to backtrack so much that the game was a waste of time.

FINALLY

I finally found this guide book! i've been to 5 book stores, 4 game stores, 3 wal-marts, 2 targets, and 3 different online buying sites and ive finally found it! I think this guide book is awsome.

It's an Okay Guide

This isn't a bad selection for a Metroid Prime guide. It has all the essentials of the guide. A complete walkthrough with complete coverage of the game and even tells you about Samus' abilities. I don't like that they don't cover all the cheats. Not only that, but the fact that there is no other Metroid Prime guide out there besides VERSUS BOOKS that will give me an Original Metroid walkthrough! A players guide for that is hard to find. This guide only gives tips to playing Metroid but nothing more. Also, the guide could've used more screens in a few areas to better detail everything. There is a lot of text in this guide and not enough screens. The layout isn't bad and at least if I need some help I can quickly refer to the guide for advice. I'm still peeved that there isn't any other guide other than VERSUS BOOKS (which is already out of print by the way) that would give me an Original Metroid walkthrough. What I have to say to this...it's almost impossible to find a guide to Metroid Prime that won't help you through the game. This one is a great find for Metroid Prime but if you can find it, I'd highly recommend the VERSUS guide as opposed to this.

Hmmmmm

Just because it is a "statagy guide" I would give this one star, but if you are looking for cheats, this is a very good book, it does give away a bit too much though.However, This does diserve four stars, not three, so I'm going to counteract the three. now it's four.
