The first game's guide provided information as a glossary and as a walk-thru. If you had a question about something in KH1, you could easily find and turn to the corresponding section of its guide for answers. Why didn't the writers of the sequel's guide stick with what worked? I can only guess that they were more interested in style than substance. This book is fat because it is inefficient, full of fluff and fanciful designs that make finding information cumbersome and frustrating. Using Deats' guide, unfortunately, is a distraction from the game rather than a quick reference. I love the Kingdom Hearts series, but I didn't buy this guide for fanfare and souvenir. It will probably be best to go to a gamer's website and download a copy of someone else's guide and/or walk-through as this guide is sorely lacking...Read more 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Signature Series) (Bradygames Signature Series) (Bradygames Signature Series) (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames)) (Paperback) While trying to figure out what game guide I should buy I read reviews on here for both and was left confused as ever. Just in case you don't know I'm talking about this copy and the regular cheaper copy of the Kingdom Hearts II guide books. So I bought both and did a side by side comparison.
Plain and simple here's the bottom line. Both books are the same. Page for page, made by the same company, say the same thing. Only difference in the book is the cover. The cheap one has just one cover with a picture of all of the characters. The limited edition has 4 different covers that have Sora being one of 4 of his different colors. The bonus to the limited edition in the inclusion of Jiminy's Journal. In this book it gives a little more info on each of the characters you will encounter. Now when I say a little more info I mean two or three sentence giving a general history. It does go over the Heartless a bit and how to defeat them a little more then the guide...Read more 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: A Kid's Review This review is from: Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Signature Series) (Bradygames Signature Series) (Bradygames Signature Series) (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames)) (Paperback) When you first get a look at this guide, you think "Woah...very big...", but despite the size, there's a lot of information that's not needed...and a lot that's lacking.
First off, the suggestions for the boss battles were a little too...over the top... When I would try to follow the authors suggestion, I'd fall flat on my face, and find myself frustrated, so I skipped over those parts most of the time and did my own thing. Second of all, there was a lot of un-needed fluff on the walkthrough pages. I would have preferred a separate area for the character profiles, Atlantica and 100 Acre Wood updates, etc. Clean and simple is always the best way to go. Organization is also something that was extremely lacking. Important info was at the back and I was constantly flipping back and forth... It gets annoying after a while... Third, in some of the most crucial parts of the game, there was a lack of instruction. There was also and abundance of...Read more |
