Maximum bang for your buck,

This review is from: City of Heroes: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
This book has vastly improved my playing and my experience with CoH. I consult it frequently for reference and often can answer other players' questions on the forum (the forum is also very useful for improving your CoH knowledge and skills). I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their CoH skills and getting more out of the game!

This review is from: City of Heroes: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
Poorly constructed guide. On the one hand, it has all the basics you might expect; character development details, zone details, and enemy details. They also include some useful tips and a whole chapter on why copying trademark characters is bad taste (hey its they're book, there allowed the occasional tangent).However it was way too obvious that each power, as well as some of the enemies, was researched by different authors. You may be reading about one power for an archetype that is described well, turn the page to the next power and find it poorly described. In addition they have obvious errors in the book. For example they mention a supergroup vault, which COH designers have told me directly doesn't exist. All in all, this is book was obviously slapped together much like a frat kids research paper. Shameful for a proffesional game guide company.

Very helpful guide, even for an MMORPG type of game.,

This review is from: City of Heroes: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)
I bought this guide at the same time I did the game even though I haven't found game guides to be worthwhile when it comes to MMORPGs I've played in the past. My two coworker friends who bought the game at the same time didn't buy a guide for just that reason. In this case, though, I find it to be invaluable! The information on what to expect in different areas, villain types and their weaknesses, where to go to fight what you can handle so you level up faster, how to customize the interface and communicate with other players more easily - this has a lot of good advice, much more than I've mentioned. I haven't gone a day without consulting it, even after two weeks of gameplay. My two friends borrow it whenever I bring it to work, too, so much so that I told them it'd be worth it to buy their own copies to refer to while they're playing! This is one game guide that you'll consult even after the first week of gameplay.
