 Good September 27, 2008
Good book, too much detail lol. All secrets revealed, but I only use it to check car stats, more fun this way.

The old adage -Fool me once.... etc.
Well I will not be fooled again with the Prima books. Like the review above, none of the areas are marked on the map as they should be.
A big map is given (probably to compensate for Prima's inability to provide an excellent guide) with a matrix on it; okay that's good but none of the areas that you need to get achievements are details. I could go on but I don't want to bore you anymore. It suffices to say check with other players instead of
purchasing any Prima books!
Good, but not detailed enough February 11, 2008

I rarely buy strategy guides, but the others I have for Nintendo Mario games are much more detailed and player friendly. This review is for the Xbox 360 version of this game.
The fabled Paradise City where this game takes place is complex with lots of roads, shortcuts, secret areas, and alternate routes (train tracks, dirt roads and so forth). At every intersection there are events such as races, burning routes (time-limited dash between two points in the city), road rages (take out a certain number of competitive cars before time runs out) and so forth.
The guide almost always uses intersections to locate these features as if the reader is already familiar with them instead of marking them on a map.
In addition, the tip sections refer to information in previous tips, sometimes causing you to read back through several tips in order to get the whole story (still need to know the intersections, too).
I had almost completed the game before purchasing this guide to help me locate the last little obscure bits, but it took some head scratching to make heads or tails of the info inside. Buy it if you need it, but search online for player-made guides first.
