Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Collector's Edition: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Prima Official Game Guides)

Comment: Keep in mind all my reviews for the strategy guides I own will be the same unless they bring something new to the table, because they are the same just for different games. So don't be upset because I cut and paste. I only do it in this for the guieds I own and I know it applies to. Thank you.

If you get stuck on games like the average person this will help you get through the rough spots. I found it very helpful, easy to read, and well put together for the most part. My only complaint is all the secrets and bonus stuff is in the back of the book. I feel it should be in the walkthrough so you don't have to go back and forth to see if you missed something. or get an item so late that it is irrelevant anymore because you got it so late its too weak. But most Guides do this so this is not the only one with this flaw. Hope that helps you out. The hard cover gives it a touch of class. I like the way they do this for most Zelda guides now

Comment: The most noticeable thing about this guide, as you can see, is the Hylian Crest design, the gilded page edges, and the faux-leather hardback binding. These features, while nice (especially for avid Zelda collectors like me) aren't what you're wanting to buy; you want the Phantom-busting-knowledge locked within.
A full map of the world is included, as well as a matching faux-leather, stitched bookmark. The map is fully marked with islands, obstacles, treasures, and Pieces of Heart, and is plenty big enough to adorn your wall and still be in easy view. I kind of wish the map had been canvas or cloth or something, instead of poster paper, but you can't have everything, I suppose.
The guide itself delivers, with checklists and everything else you need to complete the game and all its side-quests. No guide seems as fun to read enough after the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time guide from Nintendo Power, though, but I guess Prima seeks clarity over imagination, which serves its purpose just fine.

Comment: OMG, not enough nice can be said about this book. It is superbly made. Gold edging on the pages. Hard bound. It covers several systems for Zelda also. This is truely a collectors piece.

Comment: We bought "Phantom Hourglass" back when it was first released, and nobody could seem to get as far as the first boss. Eventually everyone in the family gave up and the cartridge sat collecting dust in the drawer. Well, recently I felt like trying it again, so I ordered this book (because I usually trash the paperback versions). Boy, am I glad I did. There are some hints for dealing with baddies that you could never intuit on your own. I've stopped playing for a while because everyone else wants to use the book and have a turn!

Comment: Que decir de esta fantastica guia de The Phantom Hourglass, es una compra obligatoria que hay que hacer, y ahora que AMAZON lo pone a este precio!
