THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames))

The guide is decent and helps you get through the game The World Ends With You. Includes an easy to follow walk-through as well as appendices to useful information about Threads, Noise database, Pin guide. Gives you information about the extra missions after you clear the game. I found the Pin guide most useful.

This guide is not with out a few flaws such as incorrect information about pin evolutions and stating repeatedly that certain pins come from "big" noise when it should have said "pig". Not a big deal though the guide in it's entirety is helpful and the flaws are easily spotted and don't affect your ability to play the game well.

I should also mention that the walk-through is only partially spoiler free. There are a few times when reading the walk-through will spoil a few story elements but it does keep some of the more important spoilers a secret.

I love having lists of items for RPGs and this guide provides plenty. Details for clothing and buttons are very well laid out. The guide also provides a walkthrough for hte game but I have not used that enough to give a good opinion. If you like having details for items in RPGs then this is a great accessory to a terrific game.

Anyway.

This guide is essential to the game for anyone who wants to get just about everything--like me. I found myself hardly playing the game without the book flopped open. It gives extensive details on all the pins, swag, and every other secret there is (especially after the initial ending).

The walkthrough is very well written and easy to follow, and it includes notes breached into passages that lets the player know when a good sidequest is readily available. Sometimes, though, the text can get a little exhaustive and give away too much information--information the player can just get from following the story. But that's just me; I like my guides to be simple and to the point, without giving away too many spoilers.

The only other gripe I have (I am nit-picky) is that the guide really doesn't explain the special moves...Read more
