Resident Evil 5: The Complete Official Guide

When it comes to CE strategy guides, you either get a different cover and packaging, or you get something unique, hardbound, high-quality pages, and an extra or two. The RE5 CE guide falls into the latter category and is well worht the extra five or so dollars over the regualr edition. Since this is a strategy guide, I'll be brief. Pros: -High quality pages and hardbound, definitely a keeper. -Great illustrations and pictures -No Spoilers in the walkthrough as far as the story goes. DON'T look at the achievement list until after you've finished the game, as the story related trophies/achievements give events away, BUT... -The achievement/trophy list tells you exactly how to obtain them, and when the best time to do so is -Every subchapter is mapped with the locations for all treasures and emblems, and tells you if it's worth fighting certain mini-bosses to obtain their unique treasures -Mercenary mode tips and overview -12 month calendar is very nice for fans -Bestiary, boss tips, and weapon upgrade advice is fantastic -Extra 16 pages of nice concept art/locations in the game CONS: -Being a Piggyback guide, the style is best suited for a "heads-up" playhtrough, rather than a step-by-step walkthrough. So if you like to see the entire game story-mapped out room by room, you may find the text-heavy style difficult. If you're going to get a RE5 guide, make it the CE edition.

must have for resident 5 fan

Excellent ! moi qui aime bien finir les jeux à 100% , ici, je suis servi! Rien n'échappe à ce livre et le 100% où est garanti !

Yup, great purchase.

This collectors edition guide for Resident Evil 5 is superb. But anyone familiar with Piggyback strategy guides will not be surprised. Piggyback is the go-to publisher for high end game strategy guides and this one continues that fine tradition. I worked in games and worked directly with Piggyback before and they always do a stellar job. Hardback cover, very readable, very thorough, well organized, excellent CG character art throughout and some additional concept art and interviews with the game creators. It has exhaustive charts, walkthroughs and general strategies for absolutely everything in the game, including the online modes and the Versus downloadable mode. You will have no problem getting 100% of all achievements/trophies with this beautifully presented guide. Very highly recommended!
