Review: ...First off it just costs too much...
It's not 128 pages like it says on the webpage and it's not good at all. Second, they use like 14 point double space font so that their book would have more pages and look better. Then, for the first like 40 pages they basically just copy info from the manual that you get with the game. Whenever they try to explain something it doesnt make any sense. No strategies on how and where to use specific cars. People wanna know "Minion's" secrets, but do they tell you those? NO! Nothing! Most info they give you there you can find yourself by just playing the game. The only thing I used their manual for was to find some of the black cubes and axel. Everything else I found myself. There not enough pictures, not enough info - not enough stuff to pay 2 bucks for it.

Summary: Weak, hard-to-read, and not much help.
Review: I don't know why the layout people at Prima seem to think that every page has to be saturated wall-to-wall with all kinds of dark colors and graphics. Combined with the funky fonts and goofy layouts, it's hard to read, and the maps (which to me are key) are a fuzzy, low-contrast mess that don't convey any information about the exact locations of key items/areas, no indication of the 3D natures of the terrain (like where walls are, or where "one-way" jumps are, etc.) It also offers little in the way of strategy per level as different vehicle types, and virtually no information about the nuances/strategies of playing as the different vehicles. No cheat codes are offered, nor any indication of what you can expect to unlock for doing certain things. It'd be so easy to do one of these right, if they'd take the time. Personally, I just want useful info that's clear, complete, and easy to find, and not some "xtreme", over-the-top graphic-heavy fluff. I'm sure if they took the time to ask, even the younger audience would agree.

Summary: not helpful
Review: the twisted metal:black srategy guide is not a very helpful book if u ask me. when u read to find out where secrets r, yeah they tell u but it dont make sence. the only thing i used the book for was to find the hidden characters, i pretty much found axel, and manslaughter on my own, but the rest i used the book. the book even says that minion has secrets, but its a strategy guide they should at least ell u how to find them!
