The Bard's Tale (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) Reviews
I was thrilled. In the game it gives you the chance to pick if the bard will be snarky or nice, and depending on what you pick will vary the outcome of the game, and the plot. This game is not for children, it is a bit too violent, for teens it would be okay.
It was delievered nicely, not damaged, and on time. He has replayed the game serval times. Who doesn't love a game where you can be nasty to a person that deserves it.
I bought this game and game guide for my husband last year for his birthday, he LOVES it. A great game and a must have guide. worth the money I spent for the guide and shipping.
The game guide was a help for finding routes, the map was a blessing and it has all of the locations of the secrets.
This guide is for the PS2/Xbox version. I have the XP version of "The Bard's Tale" on CD ROM. It's a completely different game.
The Official Strategy Guide plays to the same snarky theme as The Bard's Tale game does. Also included in the appendixes are information on the various enemies and what "goodies" they drop when you kill them, info on all the weapons and armor in the game, and info on the tokens, artifacts, and tunes you acquire. There's a quick interview with the game's creators and a couple of pages about the original Bard's Tale PC games. All around, it's a great guide, very easy to follow and set up logically. Well worth the low price. The main part of the guide is a walk-through of the game, with maps of ALL areas, info on enemies encountered in each area, and full explanations of the way your choices affect the game. It's sarcastic, witty, very thorough and well-written.
I knew this guide was going to be special, so for only the third time in my life, I bought the guide before buying the game (Grandia II and Legend of Zelda Oracles of Seasons were the others.). Now, if there were just a strategy guide for current events. As a fan of Prima for a long time, I was surprised how this guide did not have Prima's logo emblazoned on the top front cover. Don't forget to check out the "know your ales" section at the end. There were also interesting facts interspersed throughout.one of the few times I felt smarter from reading a strategy guide. It looked more like a sacred tome than than a guide. But, what set it apart is how the writing of the guide complimented the writing in the game; both made me laugh. It had all the great features that you'd expect from an Official Prima guide and helped me beat the game.
I'm glad they didn't waste time including a lot of ridiculous extras, such as a world map, that every cookie-cutter guide throws in, but which don't really add anything in the context of a game. I think with this edition, Prima pulls out ahead. The writing is crisp and clever, I absolutely loved it. The lay out is fantastic, cream of the crop. I look forward to many more efforts with this great team of editors and craftsmen that it must have taken to put this book together.
This guide has really imprinted on my mind why Prima guides are the best. My highest accolades, Prima. Instead, this guide includes rich and textures features that are actually RELEVANT to the game. In this game, for example, a world map would have been a complete and ridiculous waste of time. This guide doesn't just supplement the game, it complements it.
This guide actually made me more excited about owning and playing this game. I have read A LOT of strategy guides. Seriously, this is the best written and most attractively designed and layed out strategy guide I have ever read.
