Rygar: The Legendary Adventure

Rating:
Summary: an acceptable suppliment
Review: an acceptable strategy guide if you don't want to spend unnecessary hours finding hard-hidden items and hard-hidden keys to locked doors

while the book provides you with sufficient info. to get through each world, it does not hold your hand too much- it allows you some self-discovery while covering the essentials

the major drawback is that the book gives false information on how to access the necromondia cave level. apparently the guide was written using an earlier 'draft' of the game.

considering this is the longest, most difficult level in the game, and considering no one at prima temp would help me with this problem when i called...i knocked two stars off this review

Summary: This does not give you 100% coverage
Review: Very disappointing.

First, the overworld maps are no where to be found. You will have to rely on the game's built-in maps to travel around. The author only did maps for the dungeons and provide tactics to deal with Normal mode.

Second, the Mystic stones coverage is pathetic. The author only mentions that you must cover all 4 modes-Easy, Normal, Hard and Legendary to get them all. Who doesn't know this?! No in depth descriptions of where to get all 25 mystic stones individually; nor does it show you in its basic walkthrough how to go about doing it. Just one paragraph summary. All secrets revealed? Hardly.

Primagames' guides are a mixed bag. And this one written by Rygar looks like it was rushed and very haphazardly done. Stay far far away from it. You can win the game with common sense. I did; and I bought it on the promise of "secrets" hoping to complete my collection of mystic stones. Sadly, it fails to deliver "every item detailed" as advertised on the back of this book.
