The 'Strategy Guide' (and I use the term loosely) is certainly a rather pathetic piece of crud. It makes you wonder if the author actually *played* the game. Normally, I buy guides for the maps - but the maps in this book are horrible. Just muddy screen captures. I thought perhaps Brady Games might be different, since Prima is just God-awful. I remember buying the Prima guide for "Thief: The Dark Project" and reading a multitude of inaccuracies, and just plain *wrong* walkthrough info. Stuff like telling you to watch out for a certain trap in an area - and in actual fact, you don't encounter it until quite a bit further on. It makes you wonder why you bother to buy them....
