In short, this guide does not provide enough information beyond what is already made available in-game. It really only collects all of that information and makes it available in one source. There are no suggested strategies or further explanations on the in-game information, essentially making this anything but a strategy guide.As mentioned, the art book is nice. Except, it's assembly with the guide is oddly constructed that you'll want to separate the two to use the guide, but this will leave you with a flimsy, crushable exterior shell (with art book) and a guide that has a front and back cover with pictures and no identifiable text to the game.
The guidebook is clear, easy to understand and to modify in stradigy, and the artwork book is great to look through.
This guide is incredible. Sure, you can get minor guides online for free, but this one comes with artwork and full strategy guides. it tells you before hand exactly what your choices will do, and how to find certain quests.I bought both game and guide for my boyfriend, but I have adopted the guide for my own.After all, he took 4 Gypsy girls to bed at the same time. don't I deserve an advantage.:D
The quests in this game aren't rocket science, and the game itself shows you exactly where to go more than 95% of the time. It isn't as though you can't find the rest on your own, especially since the game will tell you which areas you've missed one of those in.
Given that the in-game maps are so poor and unusable, I jumped at the news that there was help available.I was sadly disappointed by the maps. There is no overview of how all the regions are connected together.
I bought this guide when I heard that it had maps of the different regions in Fable 2. If you're looking to be a completionist, chances are the info on gargoyles and keys can at least get you most of the way there.
There is no listing of how many houses and businesses there are to buy in each area, etc. In addition, for several areas, many of the statistics that are there, such as the number of keys or dig spots or gargoyles, disagree with the in-game statistics that provide the overall count.I can say that the art book is awfully pretty.
The quest descriptions are largely useless though. On the whole, I was disappointed in the amount of information provided, and expecially disappointed in the maps.
There are many great pictures, and alot of info which was relevant. But the game is based off of open play and if you just play the game you can find most of what in the book. There was little real use, I got out of the book. But If you are looking for great pictures and a little help in the hard parts, this this the book to go for.
