Summary: A must have for players of the game, despite having many editing problems. 2005-12-18
Comment: The official strategy guide for "Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne" is mind blowing in how big it is. Offering over 300 pages (while not exactly coming in at the 400 that the guide claims it has on the back over), the guide reveals almost every single detail about the game aside from going into Tolken-like descriptions of the background textures of the levels you will come across. The guide also features pictures of every single demon in the game, and tells you how to get every single recruitable one. Finally, the guide also features interviews with the makers of the game, which provides incite on the past of the SMT series.

However, the book is not without several flaws, and those are listed as follows: First, the size of the book is not much bigger than that of your standard holy bible, and due to this problem the guide is small and somewhat fragile. Due to the cheap binding on the pages that it is printed on, users will find the pages coming out of the guide quite easily as they read it. Also, the editors of the guide did a bad job in several places. Spelling mistakes, errors on boss and party member information, and game strategy are wrong in a handful of places on the guide.

Also the guide is vague on how to accomplish some of the more "hidden" tasks in the game (I.E. enabling the true last boss), and it requires reading through the whole thing to get the general idea of how to unlock those features. It also provides maps that are somewhat difficult to read, which says that the editors could have probably spent more time working on making the maps easier to follow. The guide however still does a good job of directing the player's actions thought the game, but it does show that the content of the guide does leave something to be desired. It is still highly recommended for anyone who plays SMT3: N, mainly because the game has so many little secrets that would be easy to miss on the first play through.

Summary: Double jump guides are the best and this is no exception 2005-12-02
Comment: Double jump makes good quality guides and this is one of their best. It has information on all the demons and all the information you need to complete the main quest including boss fights and detailed maps.

When I hear that double jump is making a guide I usually go right out and preorder the game, they have excelent taste in which games to cover and they do it well.

Summary: Just what the demonologist ordered 2005-09-30
Comment: Wow. This has GOT to be the largest guide I have ever seen for a video game. This thing has absolutely everything you could possibly want to know about Shin Megami (and probably some things you didnt think you wanted to know).

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Its a great guide for a great game.

Summary: Great help! 2005-09-30
Comment: This little book has a great wealth of information on this game. It's a little tricky to use, but once you get the hang of it, it's priceless. The maps and boss strategies are especially helpful. And who could forget the fusion guide? If you buy Nocturne, buy this book!
