Great Guide, 15 Jun 2006
A great guide with everything you need to know about how to get the most out of this superb game! The section on how to keep stars happy and turn 2-3 star scrips into 5 star movies were particularly helpful!

A great guide with everything you need to know about how to get the most out of this superb game! The section on how to keep stars happy and turn 2-3 star scrips into 5 star movies were particularly helpful! Help needed!, 29 Aug 2004
I do not buy many PC games and bought this primarily as a fan of all things Lord of The Rings. Therefore this strategy guide was an essential purchase, for, without it, I would not have got very far at all. I would definitely recommend it for less experienced gamers as it contains lots of useful information, hints and tips about the different levels in the game. Be warned though, the secret cheat codes contained in the guide can only be used when you have finished the game! Since I have yet to progress beyond Level 2 I have a long way to go! Bo selecta, 01 Jan 2004
If you are wanting to buy this to help you complete the game like I did then do buy this bcoz it is a great guide and it guides you through the game, but just beware that just because you buy the book it doesn't mean you will complete the game, you will need skill as well as words the last war, 08 Nov 2003
So another strategy guide i hear you say. No. Not any ordinairy strategy guide, The final Lord of thr Rings guide. That must make it amazing, that must be an award winning strategy guide. Well, it does have many qualities, a good helping hand that is needed in parts of the game and also the revealer of many secrets that would remain hidden without the guide. I chose though to give the guide a four star rating, the film may be given an award-winning title, but i'm afraid the guide just isn't as good a companion as Samwise Gamgee. But i would reccomend purchasing the guide as it may be found a needed object if the internet is down when you come to fight the final few Mordor orcs at a t-junction and are needing the right path to turn with only 20% health remaining!

Good Guide, 06 Mar 2008
This is a good guide for halo, however, one thing to be aware of is most new guides are colourful and interesting whilst this one is quite dull. The content itself is good. I was a bit disappointed when I received the guide, as it was not in pristine condition, as it had marks on the cover, which I removed easily, but still it is listed as brand new. The best thing about this is it has super saver delivery, and therefore arrived within 4 days. Great service once again from Amazon, although I am a little disappointed with the product.
Halo, 25 Jan 2004
This halo stratergie guide. was one of the best ive had. it has all the hints and tips for the game. This is definatly the guide to buy after you have completed halo.

Increadibly helpful, 02 Jul 2004
I don't buy many game guides, but this was worth it. There are so many secrets in this book, that anyone without its aid, can't possibly hope to find. Even if you've completed the game, buy this guide, as your overall score will sky-rocket with its help.
a masterpiece, 23 Mar 2004
the game itself is not that hard but if you want to get all the platinum objectives and unlock cheats then this is the book for you.it helps you get all the bond moments and other secrets like on the 4th mission you can ride the motorbike instead of the brilliant porsche.this book really deserves more than five stars.

Extremely helpful, 24 Apr 2005
This is a great book at a great price. It gives you a detailed walkthrough for each level and also pictures to help you to show you where to go. There is information about what the guards do and when to attack etc. It will really help you if you are stuck, it did me anyway. It tells you all about the moves you can do and how to do them, what the weapons are and what they do and how to use them. Overall this is a very helpful book and has helped me a lot.

A good, solid guide., 09 Sep 2008
Fitting in a condensed HL2 guide and then HL2.E1 and E2, followed by Portal and a summary of TF2 is what is written on the book - and thats what you get.
It also lists the achievements you can get, some easter eggs and other munchy treats.
The portal guide, however, is a bit hard to understand when doing the puzzles (I never did need the guide, but looking through it and playing it was a bit of a toughie) therefore the photos that go with it are a bit unneccesary, usually the entire photo is blocked with a picture of a companion cube.
The TF2 guide is useful - for its time. Now with updates, new maps and new weapons its dated. However, it still only points out the bloody obvious. Ofcourse you would know which key is reload, ofcourse you know heavies and medics are a good pair - its simple stuff.
It has some artwork pieces of extras, etc, but it would have been nice for even more extras. Worth the 5 quid I spent on it, though I would hesitate with 10+.
... only when you've completed the game! NOT BEFORE!, 30 Jan 2005
OK, firstly we are all aware that Half Life 2 is a truely unique game, most particulary the story, and mainly the graphics (that is if your GPU can handle the power!) When i first play this game I was blown away on how good it was, the game created the right atmospheres at the right times, tension rising at particular parts and not forgetting those times when you start to panic (my mates laughed at me for that :S). These are the elements that make HL2 such a big success. If you've not played the game before or completed it, then this guide will spoil it all, reveal all the twists and story from as soon as you turn the first page, and that would be a waste of the odd £35-£44 on the game (depending if you got the collectors edition :P) the story has been built precisely for the player and it would be a shame if you actually knew what was coming up before it happened. This guide will show you every hidden location, all items in all areas, how to defeat enemies and much much more, this is a great companion to those who want to play it through a 2nd time, but I would strongly recommend that you purchase this after the completion of the game, or if you can't resist, buy it but store in a safe place.
I have to admit I have been tempted at times but let me tell you this, the story has a unique twist! and its more rewarding if you discover it yourself :P But dispite what I just said, the ultimate choice is yours!
those that still want to buy it, try and get as far on it before the guide arrives, and those that already completed it- GAME ON!
Live and Let Live, 15 Dec 2004
I wish people would stop dictating to other gamers how they should or shouldn't play. If someone wants to buy a strategy guide and follow it to the letter, that's up to them - as long as they enjoy themselves, what's it got to do with anyone else? If you never use guides and would rather play through on your own, that's okay too. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO PLAY!!! Personally I always try to play through on my own, but like to have the guide handy just in case I get REALLY stuck. However, if you are thinking of getting this guide but don't want the plot revealed, beware. Some guides give you a 'spoiler free' walkthrough but this one does not. I haven't actually used my copy as yet, but it very clearly states at the beginning that the book includes spoilers. So you may want to resist the temptation to flick through the guide before you need to...
Must have for a half life fan, 26 Nov 2004
Ok, i've seen the other reviews bickering about this, and calling it a big spoiler, bu thats a very narrow view.
This guide is a superb book, which complements (rather than destroying) the half-life 2 experience. I wouldn't reccommend reading it on your first play through the game, as it could spoil the plot, but for any fan who decides to play through again and wants to get the full experience, it's a must-have.
Full of tips, easter-eggs and secrets, its a great read and WELL worth to £10-odd pounds i paid for it.
Sacrelige!, 13 Nov 2004
The most pointless book since how to learn French was translated into French? Quite possibly but the real issue here is that this book contains spoilers for the game .......... In fact it will reveal the whole plot! The plot that Valve have been desperately trying to keep under wraps since HL2 was announced? And now this book comes out BEFORE the game??? You know those things called 'Spoilers' that everybody hates & if you have any decency you will mark your forum posts that contain them with huge RED warning signs incase you upset other gamers by revealing stuff about a game/movie they haven't even seen yet? Well, This book is basically one big spoiler!! My advise to anyone who wants to enjoy the HL2 experience to the full is to stay well clear of this book at least until you have played through the game on your own. I mean what kind of gamer needs a strategy guide for an FPS anyway? A blatant cash in on the HL2 phenomena & there's another reason to avoid it.
