This review is from: BioShock 2 Limited Edition Strategy Guide (Bradygames Special Edition Guides) (Hardcover) Customer Video Review Length:: 0:25 MinsThe Special Edition is 208 pages of good quality somewhat matte paper in a hardcover, with a pretty nice paper wrap around. Somebody at Brady did pretty good work on the layout and presentation of the book, and it's not your typical full-of-text boring monotonous walkthrough. Well, it still covers all the bases and of course the various tips, tricks, weapon upgrades and locations for audio diaries and such. The book is present in a sort of 80s comedy style with plenty of little monopoly-seque arts littered through the book.

This review is from: BioShock 2 Limited Edition Strategy Guide (Bradygames Special Edition Guides) (Hardcover) This is a great book, the information is accurate, the pictures are cool, and the lithographs that comes with the book is a nice addition for the hardcover edition (not limited). However, it's not worth paying for the hardcover edition.
When I received the book the front cover says "special edition" not limited; therefore, the print run for this book is not small. Also, Bradygames did not include additional content for the hardcover edition, it has the same content of the standard edition. The only difference is the hardcover and the two lithographs. The book has great content: information on the splicers, weapons for single player campaign and multiplayer, every audio diary, etc. This book will help you to get the platinum trophy (getting all the trophies in the game). In conclusion, the content is great but I recommend to get the standard edition. By Ash Knight "Ash Knight" (Bloomfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I mostly just ended up using all of the maps... |
