Rating: Summary: Good start, but falls just short. Review: This book is really helpful if what you want is a desription of how to beat the personality system. It also has those oh-so-critical lists of moves, weapons, and items (very good ones too), and for the first half of the game it has detailed (but a bit small) maps of both the towns and dungeons. The last half though degrades to basicly a list of places to visit with little useful info. There's also no help in finding the tiny medals or hidden items. I would have liked more info on the monsters also. The info it does have seems to be based on battling a group of four of the same monsters, it isn't accurate when fighting individual or mixed groups of monsters. Still, I highly recommend using a book for this game and this is the only one, so it'll do.
Rating: Summary: Dragon Warrior 3 Guide Review: This guide enables you to do everything perfectly in this game. It has picture clear quality maps and detailed walkthroughs. It tells you all the stats for every monster and boss in the game, and where to find them. Also, it has a checklist to show you where every tiny medal is in the game. When you collect all 100 tiny medals you will receive the ultimate weapon. Furthermore, it tells you what spells you learn with every level up for every character. This guide is a must for all gamers, and you will definitely get lost without it.
Rating: Summary: Where's Nintendo's official version when you need it? Review: Unfortunate for Prima to not get all the information about how far this remake of Dragon Warrior III goes. They didn't include the Grand Dragon's Temple maps at the end, nor did they list ALL the medals that are possible. The locations of weapons and items are vague and have to be searched throughout the guide. Finally, where is the list of TinyMedal locations?I like the layout of Prima's guides, especially this one. They have actual screen shots which Nintendo's offical guides usually don't include.
Rating: Summary: Just a little incomplete. Review: When I ordered this guide I was expecting to find a detailed guide on every secret in the game from begining to end, however when it finally came I thought it was a little incomplete. The book is very good at what it does, it gives tremendous information about character classes changes, dungeon info (for the most part), and monster data. But there are a few things left out (I still havn't found the section on all the medal locations, maybe I'm missing it?), at some points in the game it says something like "good luck and enjoy the challenges of these dungeons" or "there are five more shards to find and here's a hint for one of them". I understand that this guide was written to preserve the storyline and surprise of the game, but it is a strategy guide... and I want it all. Overall the book is good, but could have been better. I found free walkthroughs on the interet that were more complete.
Rating: Summary: Awful, just awful Review: When purchasing a strategy guide you should expect nothing but full information on every aspect of the game. This is an example of how a strategy guide SHOULDN'T be done. Tips are not useful. The beastiary doesn't tell the weaknesses and immunities of any random enemies! Only bosses get that detailed info. A large number of enemy locations in this guide are listed as "unknown," so don't expect any help from this in your search quest to fill up your monster farm. Vague hints are given as to how to reach the two bonus dungeons, but no exact info and it doesn't even give a walkthrough for them or strategies for the bosses there. Stay away from this, it's not worth the money...
Rating: Summary: Dragon Warrior 7 strategy guide Review: Wonderful!! A great help. it was organized, a step by step success to defeat the Demon Lord and restore the world of all it's lands free of evil. Every aspect of this strategy is in FULL detail. gives great information on the weaponary, armory, Items and special item showing a pictures and plenty of information, gives an entire beastiary (monster) selection as well giving from Hp to capture rate. tells you almost exactly where every last Shard is and where the pedistals are in the temple to use them. a MUST have to know all the information in this great game
Rating: Summary: Where Are the Important Stuff? Review: Yes, this walkthrough will get you through some tough times in the game, yes it does provide a walkthrough for each part of the game, but there are several things missing. 1. It is missing a World Map! It is one of the most important parts! 2. No Tiny Medal locations. It would be nice to have them all logged. 3. Treasure Chests in towns are not covered unless they contain a important item. 4. Pots and Sacks are not listed with the items they hold for towns or dungeons. I give it a 3 because it does give a detailed walkthough, but it is missing some extras we gamers like to have.
