Customer Reviews

Too vital! You gotta have this book!

Riven was a super challenge and I hate cheating. This book was so awesome because it gave you ONLY the help you wanted when(if) you get to the point that you get really stuck. It is well divided so you don't see clues/info that would give away something that you didn't want to know. These people should get hired to write solution books for all the top games!It keeps you from being tempted to cheat because it is so well written & laid out. A true asset to the game of Riven! Honest!!

Pretty good but lacking some crucial info

I liked the pictures and the walkthrough and all the other things in the game, but in some real important places it "failed me". I couldn't understand how it meant to enter the number into the domes or the star fissure portal and had to figure it out myself.

I couldn't of done better without it.The book makes you witness stuning graphics and exelent sound.Riven fans that cannot get anywhere without this book,this one is for you.

Very Helpful and Useful (Most of the Time)

I liked the format of the book, with different chapters that gave either subtle hints or full solutions. It says right at the beginning of a chapter what type of hints are in the chapter. The only chapter I was dissapointed in was the "Journal" walkthrough chapter. In the Myst Strategy Guide, it had headings over each section, so if you only wanted help on a certain puzzle, it was easy to get it. The Riven book doesn't have headings, so when you glance through, looking for the right place, you see the solutions to other puzzles you don't want help on. Other than this, it's a great book.

The perfect hints

This book has the perfect hints for Riven. Even if you don't want hints, it still is good because the hints don't reveal all the solutions, which is exactly the best way to enjoy the game- to answer questions by yourself and just wander around. Solving puzzles is definately NOT the point of the game. The process of it is.
