World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Official Stragey Guide) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Completely Worthless Purchase
Comment: Don't buy this book. Lovely pictures, completely worthless reference. Possibly the worst Bradygames Strategy Guide yet. Do yourself a favor and buy the a month of WoW (giftcard), or take them to McDonalds. At least you'll get something for your money instead of wasting it on this book.

Summary: Who is this guide designed for?
Comment: I'm a soldier deployed in Iraq for another 6 months. I'm addicted to WoW, but cannot play often or reliably due to satelite internet issues. So I bought this book to help get my fix for the new content.

I read the book cover to cover a couple times and I did find useful information, but what struck me was how much of the book is wasted pages. Best example of this is 40 pages listing all the achievements you can get. If you actually have the game, all you have to do is log in and hit the 'Y' key to see the list. Similar with the PvP and PVE badge gear lists. They have dozens of pages that are not well organized giving information that the gear vendor in game will easily tell you.

The first 4 dungeons in the Xpac have walkthroughs and boss fight strategies. This is the content I was interested in. But only the first 4 dungeons out of 10 and no coverage of the new raid instances.

The death knight starting quests are well covered with many screenshots. Would have been nice if they did that with other of the new quest zones instead of just a useless list of quest names in each of the new northrend zones.

I think the problem with this guide comes from the fact that they were trying to release it so early. Their information comes from a couple people who were in the beta-test and thus they could only level up to a cap of 77 before hitting the printing press.

So I would say this guide is designed for people interested in the new WoW expansion, but who are not active playes. If you already have a lv70 character and have bought the expansion, you'll find nothing here of use to you. [...]

Summary: It's not so bad
Comment: I read a lot of reviews on how useless this book is as it doesn't tell you everything about a boss in an instance. You sound like a bunch of babies. No, it doesn't tell you everything, but it does give you some technique ideas at least for Nexxus and Utgarde. I guess I'm rare in that I like the surprises in the game and think it's half the fun. I don't like to be told everything.

I would agree though that the lists in the back are just mashed together. I haven't dared try to peek at those! It just gives me a headache.

Other than this, if you want a general idea of where to go and some maps to help you explore the unknown parts, I think this is fine.
