Rating: Summary: It just sux. Review: Don't read the other reviews. Authors surely didn't play Starcraft before. Here is a quote from the guide (p. 17): "Vulture is a hovercycle that's fast, powerful, and very effective when quick response time is critical... very effective, when you are defending a sprawling base". Vultures are useless against everything except infantry. The "easy to follow general strategies" are general strategies, which is almost impossible to use against human opponent. No strategy guide gives you info on a building order for fastest development.
Rating: Summary: This is for beginners!!!!! Review: Dont buy if you already know the StarCraft basics
Rating: Summary: This book is the pefect companion for a StarCraft FREAK! Review: Even though playing StarCraft through without a book is much more challenging, the StarCraft: Prima's Oficial Strategy Guide will make you the master of the Universe. Written well and concise this book is a great buy at the price. This book also includes all codes for the game and in depth strategies for each individual path, species, mission, campaign, and multiplayer FraG FeasTs. This book blows all others away.
Rating: Summary: A so-so book, if your a newbie Review: First off, I really don't play computer games that much, but starcraft is an exeption.I bought this book the day I bought Starcraft. It did help some, but over a year or so later I realize that I, myself could make a better guide. There are few strategies, and because of that I really had nothing to mold my own off of. Your better off doing it yourself, and taking your time.
Rating: Summary: Stunningly fabulous Review: Helps you with all those 'no-win-levels' with detailed maps. Contains statistics to help build up an unstoppable force. Contains strategies that your opponent can never beat.
Rating: Summary: Good beginners book Review: I am a very experenced StarCraft player. When I first started playing the game I looked for as much help was possible. I found this book. This gave me the information I needed to at least survive the first few times I played. From that I have moved to a more dominating player. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know a little more about the game sooner. Also, the most helpful part of this book is the tables at the end. Once you have an understanding of how each unit works, you can use the tables to best fight them.
Rating: Summary: Save your money, don't buy this book. Review: I found this book to be unhelpful and unecessary. If you want incredibly obvious stratagies buy this book. It does however have intresting tables in the section on Terran building placement is invalueble.
Rating: Summary: Starcraft Strategy Guide Review: I have just recieved my copy of the Prima Starcraft Strategy guide and I will have to say the this is a great one out of all the others I have bought this is the most saphistacated ones I have seen with all of it's detailed maps and it tells you all about the prottos, zerg and terran and how they were brought into the world so I would give this a five star!
