Summary: great game, great guide.
Review: yep, xenogears. this is undoubtedly one of the best rpgs ever created. i'd say that the storyline is what makes this game shine, but then i thought about it.. everything makes this game shine. however, sometimes it's tough.. and with the help of this strategy guide, things make a lot more sense, and the game is just much more enjoyable. don't complain that it gives away the plot; that's nonsense. strategy guides should really only be used when you have trouble doing stuff on your own. don't read the book and then complain about knowing the story; that's ridiculous. first of all, the strategy guide is very comprehensive. not only does it tell you what to do, but it tells you what to do step by step. it will guide you through all of the turns you need to take, and tells you of every enemy and item you'd encounter along the way. ah, the enemies. the final boss to this game, not to give away any details, could be considered one of the hardest and strategically-challenging bosses in a while. there are so many variations to that final fight, and it's such a great experience every time. however, being as challenging as it is, this strategy guide could come in very handy. their coverage of any boss fight is detailed and in-depth, with pre-battle strategies to boot. it's can't really get any better, in my opinion. i think that this strategy guide is one of the best, if not the best, that i own. great game, equally great guide.
