Rating: - Simply put, an excellent guidebook
To be honest, I clumsily purchased this guidebook. When I went to cancel my order the next day the book had already been shipped. I'm glad I decided not to continue further with my cancellation.
Doublejump is a fine publisher and spares little details. Upon receiving my item two days later, browsing through the pages, my expectations of a quality product had been met. I can't stress enough that Doublejump shames other publishers(eg Bradygames) with their detailed and in-depth knowledge of game mechanics, battle by battle walkthrough, and accurate charts of various game aspects. The few errors I discovered I considered moot as they did not affect my enjoyment. During your playthrough, you will ascertain that these errors are mere oversights. An interview of the developer and their artwork concludes the guidebook which may delight those who crave the most minute detail of such a great game or Nippon Ichi games. All in all, for the money I paid, this turned out to be a damn fine purchase.
Rating: - not worth the $24.99 price! less content & cheap materials used for this guide!
this is not a review of the game (which is killer! 5 stars!) and it's not a review of the contents of the guide, because i just received it. what this is a review of is the quality of the materials used for the guide. when i opened my package, i was instantly disappointed paying $24.99 (which is the price PRINTED on the back of the guide, so Amazon is FOS with the $29.99 price) what you get is very sub-standard when it comes to guides. it has the look and feel of those old Del Rey sci-fi paperback books.(read on)
first, let me remind people that the same company, DoubleJump, released the guide for Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. that guide was 400 glossy pages, with a fold-out glossy color poster, a section of artwork/illustrations, and collectable trading cards for $19.99 -- they also did the Phantom Brave guide, which was over 350 glossy pages, artwork pages, and collectable trading cards for $19.99 --
SO, why did the Soul Nomad guide have less pages? no glossy paper? no trading cards? but it costs $24.99!?!?! the paper used is as bad as the thin, non-gloss paper used for making the PS2 game manuals . (of course some games do come with nice quality manuals, but i'm sure you have enough PS2 games to know what type of cheap-quality paper i am referring to) and this ''Limited Edition'' blurb on the cover is what's to justify the higher cost for such a sub-standard quality in materials? pah-leez...
anyway, DoubleJump should take notice that we don't want anymore cheap-as-dirt 'quality' guides unless the price matches the quality. this guide is worth $9.99 (and even that might be stretching it!) -- it's not worth $19.99, not $24.99 and certainly not the $29.99 Amazon expects you to pay for it! you want your customers to feel they are getting their hard-earned money's worth... NOT making them feel ripped off! (and that goes for both DoubleJump and Amazon)
