Quake II (N64) (Prima's Official Strategy Guide)

All secret switches and areas revealed
Walkthroughs to keep you a step ahead of the stroggs
Expert tactics for each death-dealing weapon
Enemy weaknesses exposed
Multiplayer deathmatch tips

OK, so what makes this guide any different from the other Quake II strategy guides out there? Well, it's for the Nintendo 64 version of the game for starters--which vastly differs from the PC version. Also, the design of this book is very nice, with lots of screen shots to illustrate key points and a ton of descriptive text to help you fight your way through the game. The book includes descriptions of every item, weapon, and powerup and gives you a complete briefing on each bad guy you'll face. The screen shots are a bit blurry in places, but that's par for the course in most video game strategy guides. Handy maps point out the key locations on each level, and a helpful section toward the back of the book describes the multiplayer maps and the multiplayer game variants. --Michael Ryan
