Summary: Excellent Guide 2010-03-05
Comment: The Bioshock 2 Ltd Ed Strategy Guide is a great book. The hard cover ensures it will out last any other paperback guide. The guide is great to have even if you don't play the game. The artwork and illustrations are well done and enjoyable to look at when browsing through the book. The Hardcover Limited Edition Guide is bundled with 1 of 2 sets of collectible lithographs. I didn't get the set I wanted but that is what the word 'random' means anyway. The guide reads easily and covers all the secrets and other extras you will want to know about while playing the game. Each section of the guide includes a map of the area that makes playing easier by displaying areas that are sure to have enemies waiting for you. The Bioshock 2 Limited Edition Strategy Guide is worth it and you won't find a cheaper price anywhere else but here on Amazon.

Summary: A GREAT BOOK BUT... 2010-03-03
Comment: 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.
