(Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Myst IV: Revelation (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback) Myst IV is a great game, and any serious gamer knows this. But the guide is another matter. There are some serious errors, and if you rely on it too heavily, you will be very frustrated and you'll stop progressing in the game. Instead, use a site like GameFaqs that has user-written walkthroughs that have been tried and tested. 47 of 47 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Myst IV: Revelation (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback) While Myst IV: Revelation is another beautiful, great game in the Myst series, this guidebook is not so great. If you are playing a game that relies heavily on difficult puzzles, then you need a good guide - however, this one is full of errors. It took me hours to figure out why I couldn't get past some puzzles after following the guide, only to realize it had given me the incorrect information in order to solve them. It would be better to find an online guide or walkthrough, instead. Please, don't judge a game by its guide! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Myst IV: Revelation (Prima Official Game Guide) (Paperback) I have used Prima Official Game Guide for all my Myst adventures. This one is taking me though the adventure without a hitch, so far. I am about 2/3 though. I like to play the game while reading the guide. Its more like the game is a high quality support for the guide. I don't like to spend too much time exploring on my own and spending hours on puzzles. I like the story, not the play. If there was no Prima Guide, I would never have finished Myst. I have however experienced and enjoyed them all and have ordered the final one. |
