Vandal Hearts II: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Rating:
Summary: A solid strategy guide with minor flaws
Review: Overall this was a helpful and solid strategy guide. Maps are presented for each battle, along with enemies present and their levels etc., recommended skills, recommended player level, and coordinates for all treasure and hidden treasure on the maps. The maps themselves are presented mainly in a top down form with an addition screenshot providing a more 3d angle. Interludes between battles are also written after the appropriate battle. This book also lists each weapon and armour in the game along with the corresponding skills and stats for each and an overall table of skills with a 5 star rating system used for each skill. Secret areas and the how to's for each are presented. There are two minor flaws I found with this book. The first is even though the book presents an excellent flowchart of how to get each ending it doesn't tell you what each ending is. The other flaw is, as previously mentioned, the book presents recommended skills you should have for each battle, but it would have been nice if it had a better section on character development in the sense of weapon building and skill transferring. Overall if you are looking for a good strategy guide for this game this title is well worth the money.
