 Lacking small details May 5, 2008

All this guide seems to have is a main mission walkthrough and a few handy maps at the back. Which is great, but I feel it should contain more.
I would've like to see a complete vehicle list and good locations to find them.
The profiles on the main characters are a bit thin on details.
There are no maps showing the locations of the 'Easter Eggs' (Heart of Liberty City etc.) and secret details.
I do like the mini guides to help you find all the stunts and flying rats though.
On the whole a good purchase, but it seems to have been rushed through to come out in time with the game.
I bet Prima could've have done better.
 Essential May 2, 2008

Well that one word sums it up really.
At least until the independent FAQ's are published, this is probably the only source of information vital to surviving and completing the game. I'm only a short way in to the game but without the guide, I wouldn't have known where to start looking for armour, weapons etc.
Repeat...Essential.
I agree with J cooper - a great guide May 1, 2008

nearly 300 pages filled with details to help you on the missions adn help you find the missing items and the unique stunt jumps.
I tried a mission last night called 'snow storm' where i had to collect soem drugs from some bad guys. I kept dying :( So read the guide and it showed me where some armour was nearby and also where a speedboat was so i could escape my 3 stars wanted level. Tried it again and succeeded first time :)
Highly recommended for the casual gamer wanting to get more from this excellent game
Got it same day as THE Game May 1, 2008

I have bought guides in the past, but this guide is certainly the biggest and most indepth...You may have your reason for buying a guide, mine is that I have limited time (family/job etc) to fuel a long standing game's addiction and I simply don't have the time for frustration...I am not a stats Nazi, nor am I in a hurry to complete the game, but if YOU are, fine, this guide is for you too...
Every mission is well covered and illustrated in the guide, every sub-mission, every girlfriend,friend etc.etc. Everything you need to
a) avoid frustration
b) be a stats Nazi
c) complete all the missions/ get 100% completion / copulate with 5 women (although not at the same time)etc
there is also a brief multiplayer guide which has a few tips. This guide probably won't help you rule the online games...only serious practice leading to possible RSI can do that...
Its a thick guide with a big bonus map thats more detailed than the one that comes with the game, and the guide even has pictures aswell as descriptions of all the flying rat/stunt jumps.
It has pretty much everything you'd need from a guide except it won't update itself when new content comes out,
but it does exactly what it says on the tin...
in discussion I will try and answer queries, but really you might aswell just buy it...
