1.0 out of 5 stars book and game pretty worthless April 14 2003
By Keith W. Oschman
Format:Paperback
Got MOO3 and the guide for my birthday. Both are pretty wortheless, but the guide especially so since it is no guide. If you loved Alpha Cnetauri or the Civ games, you'll be severly disappointed with MOO3 and the strategy guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars not a strategy guide April 6 2003
By Jobel
Format:Paperback
its more like a manual spin-off than a strategy guide. It doesn't tell you how to do anything. It has lame tutorials for all the races and it only gives you some *hints* (all of which you can find out online). The whole book basically leaves it up to you figure everything out.

It could have been so many times better. Its almost like the person who wrote it never played it and just read the manual and interviewed the staff to get some details.

Instead of giving you strategies and tips on how to play more effeciently or giving you different styles of play, it just goes through all the screens one at a time and repeats most of whats in the manual.

The name of book is false advertisment. It should be named:
Master of Orion 3: The Ultimate Space Strategy Game: Prima's Official Redundant Manual

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your $$$$ Mar 21 2003
By Steven Horton
Format:Paperback
this "guide" is practically worthless! it does NOT explain ANYTHING that is not explained in the manual, even with as much as there was that was left unexplained by that dicument. there are not really any "strategies" in this "strategy guide". i know that it is not possible to write a walkthrough for a game of this type, but i was hoping for a guide to explain the many things that the manual did not, like specific measures to combat unrest, etc. this book does not do that. the only things i found useful in this book are explanations in game terms of what each Orion Senate proposal does and explanations for what tone of voice, so to speak, to use in diplomatic offers to the different races. it also rates each race in terms of "playability" that is marginally useful. if i had it to do over again i would NOT buy this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth Much In My Book...
I have yet to write a review and I am reluctant to write one about a strategy guide before the game is even released, but I found myself compelled.

The content might be there. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Useless to semi-usefull (depends on how in-game guides are)
If the in-game help is as good as Civ3's Civilopedia + Scenario Editor then this book will be completely useless for anything but newbie strategies. I was overall dissapointed. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great guide (and teaser, I might add...)
Semi in-depth and mouth-watering guide to one of my most awaited games in 2002-2003. Guide lists all races, techs and strategies for each race. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars .. maybe worth a look. . .
Prima is notorious for having factual errors in gameplay on the games they review, since most of the games they review are still in the beta(testing) phase. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is awesome
honestly, I have no idea what's in this book, however, I do know that MOO3 is going to be a ridiculous game; and a stratagy guide to explain it all will be great. Read more
