Summary: Another Prima Guide 2007-11-20
Comment: This is a good stat guide but an average strategy guide. Most of the information in this guide can be found in a FREE internet guide/FAQ. Aside from some tips on the Butcher, King Leoric & The Final Battle... everything is common sence. The book also has a handfull of obvious typos & misprints. This had become a pattern with pattern with Prima. On the plus side, it is easy 2 understand, most of the stat tables are in tact & it has an interview with the game creaters to geek out on.

Summary: Useful 2003-01-16
Comment: Yes, the book is useful. It is not fantastic, beautifully written, crucial to success, or even 100% accurate. This book, with all of its typos, feels as though it has not been proofread more than once. Some of its tables have incorrect values or are poorly organized.But it is useful. The book is accurate about 90% of the time, and the quests are well outlined - though I certainly don't believe the quests are difficult enough to require this guide. The primary use of the game is in its tables (when they are accurate), and in their explanations of the actual mechanics behind the game (such as how the game chooses which quests are included in a particular single-player game). Though all of the information in this guide can be found with a moderate amount of replay, this guide makes it available immediately. I would not use it as a strategy guide, I would use it as a quick reference to keep open while you are hunting for something in particular. To be fair, I don't believe Diablo requires a strategy guide at all. The game is fairly straight-forward, with none of the mind-boggling complexity of some real RPGs (i.e. Final Fantasy).

Summary: The Prima Strategy Lie 2002-01-10
Comment: The Prima Strategy Lie, as it's know amongst the popular Diablo community, is riddled with technical and strategic inaccuracies and tonnes of misleading information. Do NOT waste your money on this guide.

Summary: Worth it (especially if you can get it used) 2001-12-31
Comment: This book allows you to look things up as you play. You don't have to put to memory what certain weapons are used for.

Summary: Have you been talking to that guy at EB? 2001-10-19
Comment: There is absolutely no need for a strategy guide for Diablo! Diablo is a hack and slash game, go around, beat up monsters until you are strong enough to beat up bigger monsters, rinse and repeat. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with hack and slash games, especially not Diablo or DII, they are my favorite games, but my little brother can beat Diablo without help from a strategy guide, and he was 8 when he did that.
