Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)

 (10 customer reviews)

Pros:
- Has good info on what/where each holocron is.

- Provides good character profiles.

- Provides short story line to better tie in The Force Unleashed with Star Wars III and IV.

Cons:
- The guide is very hard to follow when trying to proceed through a level. You get easily lost when using this guide. As you proceed down a path, you're not sure what part of the level the guide is referring to. It's very ambiguous.

- No best route and alternant route information.

- The screenshots in each section are hard to see and don't help. It's very hard to connect the screenshots to your screen. They are a complete waste of space and add no value. Detailed...Read more

The first time I did it took about half an hour. Once I caught on to how it's done, though, my second time took about five minutes. But here's the complaint: The book doesn't help you with this. It just says to follow the onscreen prompts (which aren't very helpful either). (Sigh)

Not that easy to follow. Did not adequately assist my "lost spot" on an XBox system. I'm a 44 year old mother, not a teenage boy, I guess yet read someone else wasn't satisfied either. Delivery was good. Thank you!
