Customer Reviews

As much or as little info as you want

The Baldur's Gate: Official Strategy Guide is good to have, it tells you about the main charatcers in the game that you will incounter. It also tells you about some of the places that you will have to go to and where they are located, but if you don't want to know all of this, you might want to still get it. The strategy guide does give alot away(it would be better if it had a table of contents)that one might want to figure out on his own, but it is always good to have.

As much or as little as you want to know about the game.

I bought "Baldur's Gate: Official Strategy Guide" BEFORE I read any of the reviews. I was disappointed to see so many that informed potential buyers to save their money. After reading the reviews - and prior to the arrival of the book - I was sorry I had spent the money but decided to give it a chance. After reading the guide, I felt compelled to write a review supporting it. I feel the strategy guide gives the player as much or as little information as she or he wants to know. I found it very helpful. The only negative criticism I agree with is that it could have used a table of contents. In spite of the fact that it does warn you before you read each chapter as to how much it will give away, it would have been much better if I could have turned to exactly what I was looking for without having to go searching for it. All in all, I highly recommend it.

This Book Rocks!!!
