James Skemp The 99% complete guide, with an excellent overview of the entire MG story The short story: If you're new to MG, BUY THIS BOOK. If you want to completely* understand this game, BUY THIS BOOK. If you want to have a book that you can be glad you spent every penny for, BUY THIS BOOK. :D
MGS4 is my first experience with theentire Metal Gear 'saga.' Since MG has such a complicated storyline, my first playthrough involved a whole lot of listening to the cut scenes.
However, despite all that, I was still a bit lost.
Not only does this guide cover 99%* of the game, but it also contains a very readable synopsis of the entire story. (WARNING: Be careful if you read it before you've finished MGS4. You can get away with reading a lot, but ...) This is what really made this book worth it, to me.
Of course, the rest of the book helped a great deal as well, and is what I'll be consulting during my future runs through the game (one of which started the day after I completed MGS4).
*: This guide doesn't cover the passwords that Konami hasn't released yet. Oh well.
The definitive hardcover guide includes a 16-page Solid Snake Art chapter with a selection of the best art from the MGS series. This rare package boasts an impressive illustrated numbered lithograph by the Metal Gear Solid artist Yoji Shinkawa.
Marc Turnipseed everything good but.......... Don't get me wrong. This guide is awesome. So why only 3 stars? Well, I have to be blatantly honest. The maps are somewhat very difficult to read at times. When playing the game, you press start to get a view of the map when you start to feel a little lost, or just want to know where you might be. When you do this, you get a choice of viewing it in two different ways. One is a flat, un-detailed map, while the other is a 3-d map that can be rotated. That's where the problem comes in. The maps in this book are very detailed and pretty much don't look exactly like what you might be looking at on your tv screen map. Also the way that the map is shown in the book is often shown in a different angle then what you see on your tv, making it difficult to even tell where you are.
I am sure that somebody can figure alot of this stuff out with some time, but why would you? I want to play the game, not read a book all of the time while I play. I really just want to see some readable maps, and then I'll decide to read the other stuff maybe later. I have got lost numerous times, thinking that the map in the book I was looking at, was not the one I was playing on. Well usually it was, but I had a real hard time figuring it out. They should have done the maps in this book, like they did in the Metal Gear3 Snake Eater book. There you got a clear example of great maps.
Other than that rant, I do have to recommend this book to all Metal Gear fans because all of the content is truly awesome. It has some real cool pics of the characters and does give some decent advice. You can't go wrong getting this guide, but really don't expect an easy time looking at the maps.

Chris Neal Better Than The Alternative PlayOnline was a service created by Square to give hints to players. It was designed originally for Final Fantasy X, but was first used for IX. Unfortunately, this means that the strategy guides frequently refer the reader to PlayOnline using keywords. While this was merely annoying at the time, PlayOnline as it once was ceased to exist long ago. This renders the Brady guide more or less useless because of its particularly frequent use of the service. The Piggyback version features fewer "keywords", and some of the information referred to in PlayOnline keyword boxes is covered elsewhere in the book. This strategy guide covers everything it should: sidequests, items, and all, but some of the sidequest rewards can only be viewed on PlayOnline. The PlayOnline boxes are still distracting, but all of the bases are covered, and the guide is actually useful.
Robertson Thomas many possible uses The author of this book intended it for the convenience of teachers and recreational leaders who cannot read music and therefore cannot learn hitherto unfamiliar songs from musical notation.
However, it has other uses too. For instance, it is good for a music teacher with a beginning student. In this book, there are 26 songs to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb. If the student's friends and relatives sing those 26 songs while the student accompanies, the student will get plenty of practice and have fun at the same time. Other familiar tunes appear with comparable frequency.
The book is also good for teachers of English as a second language. Most of the songs are repetitious pattern songs which the students could easily learn.
0911019073, 0911019022, and 0911019014 have all been very helpful to me both as a music teacher and as an ESL teacher.
