Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not a helpful guide, at all!
Review: This guide was not helpful. The instructions that tell you where to go are definatly... NOT CLEAR! An example, "Jump down and grab the ledge" When you actually have to: Shimmy left, Jump down, turn right, THEN grab the ledge. I actually give this guide 0 stars, but I couldn't do that... Don't waist your money on THIS book, it's useless! Just try to find a walkthrough on the net. It would be 100% better than the Prima(r) Strategy guide.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not As Good As the First Two
Review: While this book CAN be helpful, it's not as well planned or as well written as the first two Tomb Raider guides from Prima. It's easy to see why Prima decided not to continue to print this book, as its walkthrough is sparsely populated with pictures or words, comparatively. The problem with this book, as opposed to the first two, is that it almost always skips over how to get every pickup, or which items are traps or simply larks - useless to go after.

There is another book I have, "The Tomb Raider Companion," but I've misplaced it recently. I bought the Prima version, finally, because I liked the first two Prima guides and because the Companion is too wordy with not ENOUGH pictures. This makes it sometimes difficult to discern Lara's position or positioning within the game. But this review is about the Prima version; although written by the same author as the first two, it seems either that the editors decided to print less or that Mr. Ward decided that it wasn't necessary to write more. Reading over some of the other articles posted, it's difficult to understand why they thought that there was too much writing. The other book, the "Tomb Raider Companion", THAT book is too wordy...

All in all, this book is good for those who want to explore more on their own and rely less on someone else's writings, and perhaps that's why this is so much less informative than the Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider II walkthrough guides -- but if someone just wanted small hints at various steps of the game, they would probably just look it up online or ask a friend instead of buying this particular walkthrough.
