Summary: HERES THE DILLY YO
Review: Good illustrations and enemy overviews, but the text pizzed me off a few times with sentences like "now go back to where you..." Of course, I am a big wuss most of the time and prefer information fed to me baby style. But the BOSS FIGHT instructions were very detailed, as well as what would happen when you came upon a LIVE SELECTION. Overall a strong guidebook.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This is supposed to HELP!!?????!!
Review: Hate to have to say this, but I've gotten better help in a game from the opposing pitcher. Not only did it not help, but it was hard to muddle through. Prima should hire good writers even if thy don't intend to put out good guides.

Summary: This is supposed to HELP!!?????!!
Review: I have played through Resident Evil 3 about 40 times now. Itis one of my all time favorite games (along with R.E.2), but it wasn'tuntil I had beaten the game a few times when I got this. I boughtthis guide because I kept on dying against Nemesis and wanted help.Well, then I started finding secret items throughout the game, andpretty soon I became the unstoppable player to the point where Istarted to yell down at Nemesis even before we started to fight.

I,before this, never knew how to use red herbs, how to make gunpowder C,or the best weapon arrangements. He also went into detail of maps andscenarios that I may never get myself into. He clearly had allplayers in mind when writing this. I learned the secrets of theseries even after I had gone through this game before and itspredecessor about 25 times. This is the perfect aid for people new tothe series, new to this title, and for the hardcore veterans whothought that they had reached playing perfection (like me).

Summary: the best guide for the best game
Review: I thought it was the best guide. It got me thru the whole game in less than two and a half hours. It tells you all the secrets, all the characters, and all the moves you can do to get away from the walking dead. They even tell you what all the monsters are like the Tyrant, cybrids, zombies, and giant spiders. I would give this guide more than 5 stars if I could. You should get this guide for the best detailed maps, they describe areas perfectly, and they dont tell you where monsters are. I would rush and get this guide at Amazon.com.

Summary: itchy tasty
Review: Some of the best information in this book is the Live Selection tips. They tell you exactly what will happen and which would be a waste of time or not the best choice. I think this is a time saver. Also, it gives nice tips on what you should dump or take with you in certain situations so you're not running back and forth to save rooms wasting time.

Also good information on how to fight nemisis and where enemies are lurking so you're prepared when you go in rooms and around corners.

The problems I had was the maps which could read the room titles or anything other than jsut D22, D16 or U46. That's pretty confusing when you're on a timer or running from an enemy-- you could get lost and have too backtrack right into them.

It doesn't tell you exactly how to solve the puzzles, claiming they change every time the game is loaded. Okay, I buy that, but there were other things also that were unhelpful. For example, with the boss fight nemisis after the trolley accident, it says to keep throwing mine throwers at him to get him to drop the grenade launcher.

I played this scene AT LEAST 20 times in a row before I discovered that hitting him in the chest with mine throwers until empty, then hitting him with freeze rounds brought him to his knees. Basically, the book reminds you throughout to master the dodge--which I STILL can't do, and you will be okay. The fight with the grave digger is the same way. It's not about dodging, it's about
*speed*. As soon as you turn on the power to the ladder, get over to it and press X and it will ask you "do you want to climb up the ladder?" It's like at this point the games stops to ask the question--stopping the grave digger too.

You answer yes, and you go on up, you don't have to deal with the GD anymore because the game never stops in that capacity. I have learned that beating on the controller for the Dodge hasn't really helped me yet. However, this book isn't completly useless. It helped me enough that I could play comfortably without getting stuck or frustrated, and I was able to finish fine. If you can get it used, do it.

Summary: The Best Guide Ever!!
Review: There are screens placed in the wrong place, and doesn't help you much with puzzles. Lets see it says at one point. "This is very easy to solve, just look around and bingo (thats not the password). What shit does that tell me. Get the one from Brady games or VERSUS BOOKS, but this one is a waste of time

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: RE3 Strategy Guide
Review: This guide is some-what good, but compared to the other strategy guides that you can get, it is one of the worst choices. The maps are not as detailed as the ones from the VERSUS BOOKS strategy guide. The guide has spoilers in it and the way to read it can be greatly improved. It makes the game too easy. Many other stategy guides come with herb mixing charts and ammo mixing charts, but this one does'nt. The wepons and monsters index in other strategy guides are also some of the best.
