Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) Reviews
game, but sadly a lot of the information provided, such as character strategies, is very basic and common sense logic (this guy has a shield, you can use that to block projectiles.). The most useful aspect of the book for me was the list of unlockables and how to achieve them, but we have the internet for that I suppose. This guide could at the very least be useful for those who have never played a Super Smash Bros.
Where are the freaking maps. It says "Detailed Information On How To Get 100% On Subspace Emminasary", yeah right. Also the guy who wrote this book is a critic, the rankings he gave for the character are terrible, and he gave Marth a 9, all the other characters he gave 8 or lower. Alot of the Stratergies don't even deplete my Grandmother's playing styles, and alot of it is just bad detailed info, I only found atleast 3-5 things helpful and that's it. Especially the Character Rankings, SERIOUSLY, it gives JigglyPuff a better rating than Pikachu (Yes I love Pikachu), the guy that wrote this book stuck to his Stratergies, and other stuff. 2/5 I would also like to have a damage list on the average base of damage is.
Other than that this book is useless. This guide book, really doesn't supply the day-to-day stratergies that hard-core gamers want, in fact I just find this guide useless, I just bought it for the Secrets and The Target Test statergies, everything was BS to me. IMO this book will only supply you with recycled and old Stratergies, i'd suggest go to Youtube.com and look up videos for Stratergies. I really hate the rankings.
After that is the Character Guide. Nintendo fans have been waiting for it for 7 years, and it finally was released: Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Overall, the guide is very unorganized and would have gotten a 3/5 from me, but the Character Guide gets it up to a 4/5. Like all guides, this one starts out with the Controls and more basic stuff. The guide rates characters 1-10 on 6 categories, and then Overall. This is where the guide really stands out. This stuff is good for newcomers to the Smash Bros., series but really isn't of any use for veterans.
Finally, we get to the real guide. Next up is the guide for the Events, as well as Classic Mode. Anyway, it's there. Finally, the last two pages support secrets of the game.
Don't forget that there's no maps whatsoever. This brings the guide down slightly. Up next are Stage Strategies, which really just detailed overviews. It lists theie Special Moves and Final Smash, but sadly not full movesets. Barely any screenshots for the levels and short strrategy. The writing is small, but at least it's there.
There are strategies for Home-Run Contest, as well as Target Test. Along with the game, PrimaGames made a guide for the game, but Nintendo Power still does not appear with their guide for the game. Then there's strategies for the character, KO Potential and their weight, and even strategies for fighting against them. Then we get to the guide for Subspace Emissary.
The only thing missing is the online strategies. I would recommend it to all the Smash Bros or Nintendo fans. I don't buy guides that often, but this one was pretty cheap, and an official Nintendo product (well, it does have the official quality seal). Everything about the guide is very good, the quality of the paper, the high resolution pictures and everything is presented in a very beautifull way. Its a gorgeous collection of everything that's in the game. The chapters aren't very structured, but everything you need to know about the game is there.
My grandson, for his 9th birthday, received a wide selection of gifts including new Wii games. It was by far his #1 gift. But once he opened the Super Smash Bros. Brawl book he was totally involved.
