In truth, it's a game that one should explore on his or her own. However, that doesn't mean you won't get stuck, and if you happen to get stuck, this guide is a pretty good tool to use overall. I must say something on a personal level, though. Bioshock is a very very extraordinary game. I highly suggest one go through the game without the guide first because a strategy guide (for better or for worse) can ruin some of the fun of the game and some of its better surprises. That doesn't mean the guide is bad, it just means you're using it at your own risk. For what it's worth it's a GOOD guide and does exactly what it's supposed to do, but as with purchasing any strategy guide, you run the risk of having a less fulfilling gaming experience. If you must use the guide however, use it as you go and try your best not to read too far ahead. Anyway, now onto the review of the actual guide...Read more 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  Focuses on how NOT to give answers, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: BioShock Signature Series Guide (Bradygames Signature Guides) (Paperback) This is the offcial guide to one of the greatest video games in years. Unfortunately, it seems they focused on how NOT to give answers as much as possible. It is full of hints, but hardly any answers. If you want to pay money for a book to get hints and clues to the answers, then this book does its job. If you want the answers (such as the combinations to locks) then try the internet.
It even does not give a good summary of the storyline. I have found the Wiki's version of the story to be much more comprehensive. The book provides good illustration of the game. It provides some good advice, such as the 5 best Plasmids and how one should spend the money at the Circus of Values. Other than that, its clues are very skimpy and even stingy. For example, I have tried to obtain the keys to the Chomper's Dental for many hours. This book merely says to look for it using newfound plasmid (Telekinesis) in the Dandy's Dental. It wasn't helpful. I suggest...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Bioshock is not your standard first person shooter, it's great!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: BioShock Signature Series Guide (Bradygames Signature Guides) (Paperback) This game is unique and different. If you like creepy, strange, single player, first person shooters you will find this game fun. I used the guide to help me when I got stuck. The only complaint I have is the print is small. But it is worth having when you play. |
