Customer Reviews

My Review

This was a good reference back when it was published but I doubt much of it applies to today's version of the game. I am still playing it after 5 years and it has really changed since the beginning.

Helps Wonders

I use my book all the time. To help myself and to help other players. It is a little outdated in that it doesn't have the badges n it, but being that I have 2 computers, it is no biggie to pull the site up on one and the game on the other. Hubby and I both love it...though I use it more. : ))

Maximum bang for your buck

This book has vastly improved my playing and my experience with CoH. I consult it frequently for reference and often can answer other players' questions on the forum (the forum is also very useful for improving your CoH knowledge and skills). I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their CoH skills and getting more out of the game!

Very helpful guide, even for an MMORPG type of game.

I bought this guide at the same time I did the game even though I haven't found game guides to be worthwhile when it comes to MMORPGs I've played in the past. My two coworker friends who bought the game at the same time didn't buy a guide for just that reason. In this case, though, I find it to be invaluable! The information on what to expect in different areas, villain types and their weaknesses, where to go to fight what you can handle so you level up faster, how to customize the interface and communicate with other players more easily - this has a lot of good advice, much more than I've mentioned. I haven't gone a day without consulting it, even after two weeks of gameplay. My two friends borrow it whenever I bring it to work, too, so much so that I told them it'd be worth it to buy their own copies to refer to while they're playing! This is one game guide that you'll consult even after the first week of gameplay.
