The strategies weren't that fabulous. Actually, a player could have done better onhis (or her, in my case) own without the book. The game is not that hard, although at times ratherlong and frustrating (but beatable). However, I did have trouble in one stage, and I read the guide,and I thought it wasn't worth it. Well, the guide did point out some hard-to-find secrets, though,but that's about it.
Side note: There are some grammatical errors and whatnot - in books likethese, there shouldn't be errors like that. Where was its editor?
One thing I do like is theofficial (anime) artwork. It's beautifully drawn, and there's lots of it, too. A decent buy forpeople who like anime gaming artwork.
If you're looking for help on the game, I suggest you looksomewhere else. Anime artwork, you might want to consider this.
