(Hide Review...)  A guide with no game
Reviewer Permalink
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.

(Hide Review...)  only useful to cheat with
Reviewer Permalink
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.

(Hide Review...)  Guide is hard to follow with some errors, has some good info
Reviewer Permalink
Pros:
- Has good info on what/where each holocron is.

- Provides good character profiles.

- Provides short story line to better tie in The Force Unleashed with Star Wars III and IV.

Cons:
- The guide is very hard to follow when trying to proceed through a level. You get easily lost when using this guide. As you proceed down a path, you're not sure what part of the level the guide is referring to. It's very ambiguous.

- There are no detailed maps as you follow the guide, just one simple no detail map at the beginning of each section. You have to keep flipping back to the map and try to figure out where on the map you are. This gets very frustrating as you try to proceed.

- No best route and alternant route information.

- The screenshots in each section are hard to see and don't help. It's very hard to connect the screenshots to your screen. They are a complete waste of space and add no value. Detailed map inserts would have been a better use of this space.

- Although I listed Holocron locations above as a pro, the guide is frustrating to use as it guides you to them. The info and direction the guide provides is vague.

- Has errors for what buttons to hit for some force combos for the PS3. For instance, it may list X, X, X, X for a particular combo, the actual button may be square.

All and all, this is an ok guide, it helped me get some holocrons (although it was frustrating to use), but you really don't need it. The guide gives you generic advice and info on beating bosses that you could figure out yourself.
