Rating: - A decent guide for a great game
I'm not sure why game guide authors feel the need to put their picture on the first page. Its not like their writing is a literary masterpiece that will be referenced by scholars years from now. I mean come on, they map out the game designer's work. What they think about the game is irrelevant, its like an attempt to steal the Nobel Peace Prize from Mahatma Gandhi and giving it to a dude who started a blog about him being bald. Regardless of which, this guide does its job in mapping out all the information you'll need to finish the game with a 100% completion ranking and contains easy-to-read maps to help you find all those hidden items. It just gets annoying when the author forgets that his job is more like a cartographer (map maker) and not a critic. Seriously, how entertaining is it to hear someone blow their own horn, rambling on about about what they did to beat the game. I just wanted to know if I should make a left or a right, not your life's accomplishment.

Hey you metroid heads this is the guide for you. If you are stomped, and can't find your way to defeat the challenges within. Seek help from the GUIDE. I love it for 2 reasons. It gets my son to read and solve his gaming problems all at once, so in my mind that is a win, win. Two thumbs and 5 stars. Keep making these guides they are great. :-D
Rating: - Looks Fantastic, Reads Fluently!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was a fantastic Wii title. It contained a wonderful universe to explore and an innovative control scheme that feels comfortable. The bar was raised a little higher for the author of the strategy game. I'm pleased to see that David Knight met the bar, and exceeded.
PROS
+ It has an outstanding overall appearance and design.
+ It is thorough and presents an easy strategy to collect 100% on.
+ The boss strategies are thorough.
+ It contains all item locations
+ The maps are beautiful, have great keys and are easy to follow.
CONS
- The appendices don't contain enough information, and are tad bit confusing.
- The scan appendix has the scans in order of appearance, but not in the same order the game has them in (alphabetical) making you do a bit more searching.
- Not enough little tricks and tips, and no Hyper difficulty tips.
APPEARANCE - A
The guide itself looks fantastic. The cover has a wonderful shine and texture. The overall design of the guide is beautiful, and matches the game very well. The maps also look wonderful.
STRATEGY - A-
The strategy is wonderful and actually tells you how to obtain 100% through the game. The Notes and Item boxes are great, and it divides each section for you to follow easily. The boss strategies are great, but they don't really have the small tricks and tips that make them so much easier. There aren't any tips for Hyper difficulty.
APPENDICES, CONTROLS AND CONTENTS - B
The table of contents are clear and well divided. The controls are thorough and teach well. The real problem lies in the Appendix section. It is a good appendix, but it's also confusing. The order of the scans are out of order from the in-game's list of scans. If you are missing scans in the game, you have to actually read through your scans and find the one you are missing. The Pickups section also has all of the different pickup types compiled together. It would be nicer if the Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions and Energy Cells were in separate lists. It is still a nice deep appendix through.
OVERALL - A-
This is one of the best game guides I own. I'm a bit harsh sometimes when it comes to reviews, so an A- is a great rating. It is highly recommended that you get this guide if you own the game. Even if you've beaten the game, and know it inside and out, the guide is still a blast to look through.
Rating: - Excelent!!!
Its a really complete step by step guide including ALL screens of the full path to get this game finished with all possible credits. It's AMAZING. No way to get lost in this game using this book. It's like a person who has already finished that game showing you all the solutions for this puzzle.
Rating: - Really good guide with an amazing presentation
I haven't got in the need to use this guide as much as I thought, which is good, but in some parts of the game it was really useful. The presentation is amazing and the art in it is worth the price of the guide.
