I must have one of the strangest hobbies in the world: I love reading strategy guides!
As far as I'm concerned, the game sucks. But the strategy guide rocks! It is well written, well laid out, user friendly, detailed, informative, interesting. I enjoyed the strategy guide so much, it made me reinstall the game!
The guide seems to highlight the "good aspects" of the game, and certainly adds to the fun. But what was important to me, was how the people who wrote the book seemed to have hit on the important bits. Many strategy guides have whole chapters which are useless. In this book, all the information seems relevant, and it is in a logical order. Easy to use, definately adding fun to the game. This strategy guide comes highly recommended!
