4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, but only 4-stars since it's for the XBox 360, not the PC, 10 Jun 2008
*This review contains no plot spoilers*. Excellent, buy it! This is a suitably massive 288-page "telephone-directory" -sized guide to an equally massive game. The book's in full-colour, and is vital if you want to avoid having to exit the game to Google for tips on how to proceed - and to possibly trip over major plot spoilers while doing so. Finding vital plot details online, simply because you couldn't find the C-Sec Academy for the first time or somesuch, is going to have you banging your head on the desk. Ouch. This books saves you from that horrible fate, and also means you won't have to exit the game to consult some digital fan-made guide on your hard-drive. Be warned that having a handy flippable book assumes the willpower to avoid flipping the pages to find out how the main story / your side-mission ends. Be warned, also, that this book refers to the XBox 360 version of the game, _not_ to the later and vastly-improved PC version of the game published in June 2008. While the plot and characters seem exactly the same in the PC version, the interface, control systems, mini-games, and keyboard/mouse controls are all radically different and improved. Nor does the book refer to the free downloadable expansion mods (which means "Bring Down The Sky", at June 08) offered by BioWare. The book is, in effect, out-of-date - hence only four stars for this review. But even once you've finished the game's main plotline, you'll probably want to play this superb game through again at least once, with a different character / class / mission-choices / difficulty-settings - and so once again this book will be supremely useful for keeping your game flowing/immersive, since there's no way you'll remember everything from a game-world of this depth and breadth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely enlightening and helpful, 5 Jan 2008
I bought this after I got the game for Christmas. I started playing, and as it occured to me that this game is massive, I constantly got lost and stuck in places.
I bought the guide and it is extremely helpful as it told me backstory on all of the characters agve in depth maps and really hlped me to know the best places to level up and how to get side quests. (Listening Post Alpha and Theta are really god ones)

5.0 out of 5 stars
A worthwhile investment, 1 Feb 2008
This game is so complex, especially for the uninitiated, that you really do need a guide. This book is the perfect antidote for all the many questions that arise during the initial game play, when you're in desperate need of answers to the many questions that seem to spring up from nowhere. It'll also provide answers to questions you didn't even know you had. Invest in this book and you will feel much, much happier. It's certainly a worthwhile asset, especially if you're new to RPG's. This guide will set you on the right road, rather than stumbling about in the dark with sunglasses on, which is about all the manual does for you.
