It's a Love-Hate Thing  (Rating: 4 out of 5)

I love this game, and I'm frustrated by this game. Finally, a game has come out that looks like the Star Wars movies. Since I love the movies so much, the story for the game seems a little ridiculous to me at times, but it's good enough to take us along on a fun-to-play adventure. The strategy guide, however, is not as in-depth as I would have liked. Sometimes things aren't explained very well, and it doesn't tell you much about everything available to earn, as in costumes, lightsaber crystals, etc.

My biggest complaint is about the Star Destroyer sequence. I've read many reviews of the game that describe it as the toughest sequence in the game, which it is...at first. The first time I did it took about half an hour. Once I caught on to how it's done, though, my second time took about five minutes. But here's the complaint: The book doesn't help you with this. It just says to follow the onscreen prompts (which aren't very helpful either). (Sigh)

So, the book is very helpful with instructions of how to get through each level, and exactly where to find all the Holocrons, but I'm afraid the only way to really advance in the game is to just play through it a lot. There are a lot of unlockable achievements that the book hardly describes, but then it doesn't tell you what achieving them even means. Do you gain power? Do you move faster? I don't know. It's helped me learn my way better around the maps, but the rest is down to playing experience.

not what you think  (Rating: 1 out of 5)

i bought this thinking it would be like other prima offical stratigy guides. it was not. its just a comic book with a sticker on the back that says "official stratigy guide." what i got and what i ordered were two different things.

Christmas Gift  (Rating: 4 out of 5)

I've purchased this for my son for Christmas because it is a game he indicated that he wanted. I hope it lives up to his expectations.

A guide with no game  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

I had ordered the guide and also the game....the guide was delivered and in great condition....my complaint was that the game I had also ordered was not delivered and even though I have emailed both the sender and Amazon.com, I have not received an answer. The money for the game was taken out of my account on the 24th of September. Please try to help me on this matter. I have dealt with Amazon before and never had a problem. Thank you for your help.

only useful to cheat with  (Rating: 2 out of 5)

star wars TFU isn't the kind of game that needs a guide. It's completely linear (except for one choice at the very end, which just changes the ending cutscene [and you can just restart from the last checkpoint to see both of them.]) The guide doesn't help explain anything you couldn't figure out easily on your own. It's not like, say, Oblivion or KOTOR where a guide can help you work with the game mechanics (guilds, quests, skills etc.) to make your character cooler without outright cheating. TFU's powers are simple button combo's that are displayed onscreen in the menus. Essentially all this guide has are step-by-step walkthroughs of the (fairly small, completely straightforward) levels, showing you precisely where all the power-ups are. (There's only one type of useful powerup in the game, btw.) If that's your cup of tea, being led by the hand through a game, being told where EVERYTHING is, then this books for you. If, on the other hand, like myself, you call that cheating (seriously, how is that FUN?), and were looking for a book that would immerse you further in the experience, this ain't it.
