2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out, this may cost you serious frustration..., Sep 16 2003

By	musiqstar87 "Erick" (Huntington WV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

A week after Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness came out, i bought my PS2. Along with the console and the game i bought Prima's *official* Strategy Guide. Upon starting to play, the first few levels are simple so there really isn't a use for the book until a level like Louivre Storm Drains and some of the levels following it. The guide helped me easily through some tough levels, but others like Louivre Galleries, i had serious problems. In the galleries, the guide instructed me to shimmy over four trip wires (2 of which were moving), i later came to find out this was IMPOSSIBLE. You instead must do a running jump over the wires from one of the display cases. Another problem surfaced in the Hall Of Seasons level. In that level i spent an hour trying to figure out why the door in the basement wouldn't open, i came to find out that you had to place 4 crystals by the entrance door (this wasn't mentioned in the guide). The guide caused me hours of frustration, making gameplay very uncomfortable. However, i'm giving this "official" guide 2 stars because it helped me through some levels in the game. The reason, i later found out, for these glitches in the book, were because Prima made this guide for the Sep. 02 release of AoD, they never updated it after the delays. This guide, in my opinion, isn't worth the almost twenty bucks i paid for it, the only thing i got out of this guide that was enjoyable was the full poster inside.

This review is from: Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I'm on the 26th level, and this book got me through the last 25 levels. I'm so happy that Prima came out with this book. It tells where all the items you need are, it tells where all the secrets are, etc. It even gives detail on what you're supposed to do on both Lara and Kurtis's missions. It was very helpful to me, so it should be helpful to you!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful sometimes, other times not so much, Jul 29 2003

This review is from: Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This guide is good most of the time but there are parts of it that are totally wrong. Lots of time it'll tell you to kill the guard and collect his gun. Only there is no gun there. This is either a problem with the game or with the book. There are so many bugs with the game it is hard to tell. Anyway, both the game and the book are terrible. Eidos should be embarrassed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Straight Forward
This is a great guidbook, but not if you want to backtrack. It also uses the words 'the ledge' a lot, and 'the ladder,' so you can never be quite sure WHICH ledge or WHICH ladder.
