    Not perfect, but not awful - 4 stars
    Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide Review
    This guide has a very extensive "Tour of the Holy Land" which does a nice job of breaking down the cities and the Kingdom to make these huge areas less overwhelming. And of course they mark the flag and templar locations on the large maps at the end of the sections. For example, the book will discuss all the different parts of Acre's Poor District area by area with maps, and then shows a map of the entire Acre Poor District at the end with the templars and flags marked. Unfortunately, the numbers were pretty hard to read and the descriptions of the flag locations don't help much either. "On the roof" could apply to anywhere in any city. This is especially a problem in the map of the Kingdom. It would've been better if they'd also marked the flags and templars on the smaller area maps in larger print.
    It also very extensively covers the game's mechanics themselves, going into a LOT of detail about platforming and fighting. You definately can't say that this game lacks content.
    If you wanted a spoiler-free walkthrough, this is not for you. Also here and there they have little historical notes and explanations of literary references made in the game which I thought was a very nice touch. The walkthrough was thorough, but I personally didn't see the need to be told how to do much during the storyline. Most of the missions are only as hard as you make them anyway.
    As an aside, the game became a lot more fun when I decided not to worry about the templars and flags. Just sayin'. So I'm not really the best person to vouch for or against this guide's accuracy when it comes to those things, only the fact that the numbers on the maps were hard to read.
    Overall I'd say it was a very lovely effort, but I just didn't really need it.

    Pageflipper. Get your fingers ready for a workout. - 3 stars
    Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide Review
    So you open this guide and you see a lot of instructions, but that is just how to get the extras. Flip more pages to see more of the same. The actual game guide begins near the center of the guide. Once you are at the guide and you want to collect bonus items at the same time, all you get is a line saying something in the lines of "see that section for details". I was surprised to see that poor compiling from such a name as Prima. I expected a guide as well put together as Tomb Raider Anniversary; now this is a guide. The writers could've put all the materials together so as you progress through the game, you can collect as well without flipping pages like crazy. Feels like I'm looking through a dictionary.
    Only useful for flags! - 3 stars
    Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide Review
    Excellent book for completing 100% of the game, namely flag locations. Everything else is handed to you on a platter by the game.

    Only worth purchasing if you can get it cheap.

    This book was perfect!!! - 5 stars
    Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide Review
    This book explain the games perfect and the map design was good. It's easy to finish the game. I didn't miss anything. This book described excellent.
    Couldn't be better - 5 stars
    Assassin's Creed: Prima Official Game Guide Review
    This game is easily the best of it's genre. That being said, there aren't many games like this, with free roaming, duty free game play tied so nicely to a storyline complete with interrogations, pickpocketing, and of course, assassination
