Customer Reviews

A great walkthrough w/ some spoilers

When I first read the reviews I was a little skeptical about getting this book, then by accident I bought it by clicking the submit order button, while I was checking out the shipping costs. I decided not to cancel it in hopes that it was good, and I'm very happy I didn't. I am going to give responses to some of the bad reviews I have read on here. On one response it said do not get the book it gives away all the secrets, which I found very amusing. I don't think I would have wanted to get the book without all the secrets. If I wanted to find out a few things on my own and wanted a big challenge while missing alot of the secrets, I would not have bought any walkthrough period for this game. Someone else wrote about the maps being bad. The maps are of the on screen radar map you see in the game, which in my opinion makes it kind of easy to pinpoint where you are and where to go. They also point out to you in what areas of the map you will find a specific item, without actually pinpointing its precise location. But exploring the area and looking for an item is kind of fun, and leaves you to figure out how you are going to obtain the item while sneaking around trying not to get caught. Sure in some ways it would be cool to see a birds eye view of the whole area showing everything in full detail, but out of all the startegy guides I have none of them actually have this. And in some ways I think it would take the fun out of the game to see the whole area before actually exploring it. The one little thing that did bug me about this guide is that it spoils the cinemas and the ending, instead of just telling you to sit back and watch a cinema like other guides do. But this is really not a big deal, you can just skip over these parts and not read them. I like this book because it tells where to find everything. It also explains to you about all the various items, and what they are used for, and how to use them, without going overboard on details. This book also gives you strategys for guards and bosses, although they may not be the best. But this only means its open for you to put skills of your own into the strategy, which is what makes the game fun. The book also tells you how to get through the VR missions as well, which I like too. So if you want to get a very good walkthrough for Metal Gear Solid, and don't want to pay a small fortune for it, I highly recommend getting this guide.

A Good Cheat

I got this cheat book for my birthday, when I was stuck at the toutre chamber, And It really helped me

It explains how much i like the book

Hey kiddies if you want to kick some butt in MGS this is the book to choose.it gives you outlines of the missions,where the enemys are,and most importantantly,where the guns are. (p.s in the first level go in the water,swim to where the pipe is by the wall put your back against the wall and press the attack button one of the enemys will come by the wall but dont be worried he can't shoot you just keep pressing attack and you can annoy the heck out of the enemy.)

One of the best Metal Gear Solid Strategy Guids Ever!!

I love Prima Strategy guides because they don't wast there time making up jokes like Versus books do and they tell the last boss and how to beat him. The only wrong thing it is from the Japan version of the game. But the Walkthrough is right..
