my review

this book gives an excellent description to character classes, especially on how to play them and to help play against them.

Worth a buy

Well, it's a gaming guide not a piece of fiction so what can I say about this? I'll start with the negative. The story-book style, each race written 'in its own language/lingo' can be clunky at times. Yes, you could say that it's rich in background and setting, but it doesn't make for an easy read at all from a gaming/quick help point of view. Also, although generally visually attractive, the dark background paper with black lettering can be difficult to read if you are not in very good lighting. That being said, the guide is generally helpful, with strategies and input on many things, and pretty fair and helpful maps and even minor/minimal walk-throughs for the chapters of the PQ's. Overall I would rate the book as a 3 1/2 probably. It's not a must have, but it is worth a read and is useful.

It was decent.. more or less what I expected for an MMO guide

I do not have many problems with most guides especially ones for MMO's as what they write is usually obsolete with in the first week. Well Prima along with Mythic decided to do this one differently. They made the guide with less hard numbers and more lore, strategies, guiding and such instead. This is not the norm for a guide of this type. They make suggestions and such and do it fairly well. The review from Innocente did not seem to take this into account. He wants something that will hold his hand so to speak and guide him thorough it all and this guide was not build to do this. It was written to be helpful, suggestive and get updated as the game progresses on the internet. It is useful if this was all taken into account. That is what matters and what is all that should matter. I wish you all luck and hope you have fun playing the game instead of just reading and rushing through something :)
