Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)

Comment: recieve the book in timely manner and in good condition only thing i can say that i didn't like that the map was missing other than that, i'm happy with the product.

Comment: Este libro es una excelente pieza de colección, no lo utilice cuando lo complete el juego por primera ves, pero me ayudara a retomar una gran experiencia.

Comment: I has everything you need. This book is really good for finding flads and Templars. It makes the game better.

Comment: I could not have gotten as far as I have in the game without this strategy guide.

Comment: This guide has a very extensive "Tour of the Holy Land" which does a nice job of breaking down the cities and the Kingdom to make these huge areas less overwhelming. And of course they mark the flag and templar locations on the large maps at the end of the sections. For example, the book will discuss all the different parts of Acre's Poor District area by area with maps, and then shows a map of the entire Acre Poor District at the end with the templars and flags marked. Unfortunately, the numbers were pretty hard to read and the descriptions of the flag locations don't help much either. "On the roof" could apply to anywhere in any city. This is especially a problem in the map of the Kingdom. It would've been better if they'd also marked the flags and templars on the smaller area maps in larger print.
It also very extensively covers the game's mechanics themselves, going into a LOT of detail about platforming and fighting. You definately can't say that this game lacks content.
If you wanted a spoiler-free walkthrough, this is not for you. Also here and there they have little historical notes and explanations of literary references made in the game which I thought was a very nice touch. The walkthrough was thorough, but I personally didn't see the need to be told how to do much during the storyline. Most of the missions are only as hard as you make them anyway.
As an aside, the game became a lot more fun when I decided not to worry about the templars and flags. Just sayin'. So I'm not really the best person to vouch for or against this guide's accuracy when it comes to those things, only the fact that the numbers on the maps were hard to read.
Overall I'd say it was a very lovely effort, but I just didn't really need it.
