The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth (Prima Official Game Guide) ReviewI bought the Battle for Middle Earth without ever having played in RTS games in my life. So, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the game, I had a hard time trying to figure out what was more important to be doing. This guide helped me out tremendously as far as knowing what to build and when, and explaining Powers and Evenstar Powers better, and many other things that I didn't quite understand in the game. It has tons a great pictures and lots of helpful hints and gives you a VERY THOROUGH explanation of all the game elements - which was great to read because I found the manual that came with the game to be very vague and lacking in detail.
Sure, there are walk-throughs with strategies and maps of all the 30-some places you fight your way through, but I haven't looked at those just yet - I like to try and figure things out for myself, but it's nice to know if I keep having trouble, I can go to it.
One thing I love about this book is that it doesn't take away from the thrill of the game by telling you everything you need to do; it just offers strategy suggestions. So, you can read this entire book and know that you haven't been given a complete walk-thru to spoil your fun.
So, if you have found the manual to the game to be very confusing and lacking in detail explaining things and you have never played a RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game before, this is definitely your book and you will not be disappointed.The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth (Prima Official Game Guide) Overview

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) ReviewI haven't played many games of this type, but I'm a huge Tolkien fan so I decided to try the game. I have to be honest-I couldn't even get out of the Shire ( the first level) until I bought this guide! I ended up using it religiously along the way, because there were many sections where I wouldn't have had any idea what I was supposed to do otherwise. For instance, there's a section in Moria where, without the guide, I would *never* have figured out where I was supposed to go, even though I religiously explore every nook and cranny when playing these types of games.
Once I bought the guide, it took me about a week to finish the game. Since then, I've decided to play it again, without referring to the guide, to see if I can make it all the way through by memory.
The book is very comprehensive, and avoids using terms that the casual gamer wouldn't understand-it doesn't talk over your head, and it's very straight forward and easy to understand. The screen shots are helpful, so that you can see what sections of the game they're referring to.
As a little added perk, this book, while showing you all of the ins and outs, still leaves a couple of tiny goodies out-not essential ones, just a couple little perks, so it still pays to explore as much as possible to see if you can find them. To me, that added to the fun, and I didn't feel like the book was doing *all* of the work for me. For instance, the book doesn't mention that, if you can find Gollum, you can get a little treat from him!
I highly recommend this game guide; in fact, I'm off to the bookstore today to pick up Prima's game guide to another LOTR game!The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) Overview

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (Prima Official Game Guide) ReviewHaving used and owned many prima strategy guides, this one was not quite up to par with the others. Prima is known for having charts saying where to find unique items and where to encounter specific Creatures, but when i was looking through this guide, there were no charts in the walkthroughs; all in paragraph form.
The list of weapons and their special attributes was very nice. The pictures are also not nearly as clear as they have been in past guides.
In conclusion, this guide will get the job done, but not much more. You can just as easily beat the game without this guide.The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (Prima Official Game Guide) Overview

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) ReviewIf you think that you would not need a strategy guide to get through the Two Towers, which is basically a hack and slash game, you would be very wrong...dead wrong in fact.
Although at first look, the game looks like just a lot of button mashing and waving your sword around, there is a fair amount of strategy to make it through. For example, in the 3rd level (The gates of Moria) you have to fight the watcher in the water to finish the level. When I first fought, I assumed that I could just hold down the "Block" button, and block the tentales. 3 tries later, my frustration point was at a boil. Then I looked at the book, and discovered that I had to tap the button rapidly to block the tentacles. On my next try, I killed the beast with ease.
In Balins tomb, I had a lot of trouble defeating the cave troll and finishing the level. Then I learned after reading the book that I had to do a double hack, then hop back with the L2 button. These types of examples are found all throughout the book, where it reveals all the nessisary tips that you would need to make it through the game.
Other then these life saving stratigies, the guide has maps to guide you through (altough they are kind of vauge in detail). They also reveal all the cheat codes, and how to get the secret unlockable charachter.
All in all, a worthy guide.
The good:
Reveals life saving tactics
has all the cheat codes
overall, a good buy
The not so good:
maps are vaugeThe Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) Overview

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Prima's Offical Strategy Guide) ReviewI bought this book just to help me out on Minas Tirith - Top of the Wall - because I couldn't figure out exactly what I was supposed to be doing. I did refer to this book a couple of times along the way. I have just finished the game and re-playing some of the levels with different characters just for fun. If you are having any kind of trouble with this game, this guide offers some good tips. It is excellent at showing you how to beat all the bosses and finding missed items and offers some good strategies for each level. If you don't want to read any hints, then don't read the next few sentences. The guide book tells you how to defeat the Nazgul at the "Black Gate" with Aragorn. If you are having too much trouble doing this (as I did), change your character to Gandalf. Gandalf's magic arrows do ten times more damage to the Nazgul than if you use Gimli, Aragorn, or Legolas.The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Prima's Offical Strategy Guide) Overview
