Summary: Gets the job done...
Review: ...but that's about it. I mainly used this guide to familiarize myself with the game mechanics and details. That part of the book is pretty well done, although it could have been organized a bit better.Further down the road, I found this book to be more of a cheat-sheet, than a true strategy guide. I read the book after I finished certain parts of the game to make sure I wasn't missing any side quests. Beyond that, I only found it to be of limited use throughout the quests, because reading it would ruin your game experience. Of course, if you really got stuck, it might be helpful, but that didn't happen to me. The stats part is a bit disappointing. I didn't find it to be too useful. Overall, I would have wanted a bit more help with the overal game strategy. How do I go about making my light sabre most powerful? Not sure. It's as easy or hard without the book as it is with it.

Summary: Better Than Advertised
Review: From reading all of the criticism of this guide, I almost didn't buy it. I did, though, and am glad I did.
I'm not sure what other people expect from strategy guides but this one satisfied my criteria of (1) enhancing the overall game experience and (2) helping me through a few rough spots. You are given fair warning of spoilers and solid advice on developing your character.
Maybe my expectations are modest but I got my money's worth and so will you - especially now that the price has dropped.
BOTTOM LINE - I enjoyed the game more for owning this guide.

Summary: Useless maps!
Review: I generally purchase guides like this one for the maps. Don't like to miss anything. The maps in this guide are located in one area, with a few annotations in the form of letters. The key to these letters is buried in text several pages away from the maps! I can't believe that anyone at Prima actually tried to use this guide. I recommend downloading the guide at gamespot.com. Although it does not have any maps, it is so well written and easy to use you won't miss them.

Summary: A unorganized mess of information......
Review: I was very impressed with KOTOR, and also lost a bit, so I decided to grab this guide from the shelves of my local gaming store. While it has helped me for a few things that needed to be done, it isn't exactly easy to find this information. Text is mixed up and unorganized, and sometimes the information isn't detailed enough. Battle strategies for Bosses and other fights is almost non-existant, which can be frustrating if you need tips for a group or certain type of enemy. I also noticed that some puzzles aren't even mentioned in the guide.
And probably the biggest thing of note, this guide does have a HUGE amount of spoilers. Though it has warnings for a few of them, most may find this as a huge turnoff.
If your looking for some help, this guide does help in some cases, if you don't mind digging for the information and wading through spoilers. But more than likely, you'll probably just end up going to gamefaqs or another gaming site to get more clear information.

Summary: Mediocre
Review: That is really the only way to describe this walkthrough. Honestly, i was very disappointed, given how well Prima usually does on their guides. First of all, they would tell you to do things, but not HOW to do them. That got really frustrating. Also they didn't give any real advice on good skill combinations for characters, so I was pretty much left in the dark unless I went online. The maps were really confusing too. They were accurate, but there were no arrows or other symbols linking the 9-10 maps per planet, so you had to waste time figuring out which map you were on and which map you were trying to get to. Also the waypoints on the maps in the guide seemed really random because there was no list next to the maps of what the various waypoints ment, so you had to go searching through the text to figure out what they were. Another thing was that they gave very little advice on how to beat different bosses, and when they did it was usually very poor.

Summary: If you get Knights this guide is essential
Review: The guide is ALMOST flawless in everyway. It get's you through the game in the most user-friendly way. They have maps (taken from the game though) and they have a nice detailed walkthrough that guides you through the game from start to finish. The maps aren't that detailed but they help in getting you through the game. My gripe with these maps is that they aren't like other RPG guides where you could enter a door and know where you'd end up. Aside from that using the maps along with the quests guide and main quests guide they've provided is nice. You'll be sure to complete every area fully using these maps with this walkthrough. I like how they also give you the "romance" and other main quests themes along the way. They tell you exactly how to do them with little trouble and quickly as well. I like the characters section and such of this guide. Very good with their layout and telling you everything about each character with a nice bio and then they gave you all the info on weapons, armor etc. Also, they detail about most every enemy in the game (but sadly not all of them are listed here). The appendices are nice and detailed giving you everything you need to know about items and weapons. Little errors are found throughout the guide as most of the information is accurate. Now, I don't have much of a problem with this and all, but since A LOT of people do I'll mention this. The guide contains TONS of spoilers to this amazing storyline. Really though, it's hard not to spoil a few things in the game. But as I've said countless times, you get the guide to do just that, guide you. It's a reference book that you're expected to look to for help when you need it, not to have it hold your hand as so many expect of a guide. So, yeah, there are plot spoilers to this game. Overall I'd say 4.5 stars. It's a great guide but I wish the maps could've been better detailed. Plus, the guide doesn't cover all the secrets like you'd expect. But I'd say this is a pretty good buy. Well worth the money.

Summary: fairly useless book
Review: The maps were available to look at, but most of the events or special items that were denoted were impossible to discern from the text. As far as a walk through goes, I felt that the missing pieces of information were fairly aggravating. ooo, I found a box with a trap and a puzzle that appears to be based on information that is not available to me, what does the guide say about it? nothing. here's a list of bounties I can collect, how much are each worth? can I negotiate higher ones? what is the best way to persuade people? already I want to toss the dumb thing in the waste basket.
