Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: The Complete Official Guide Paperback – 1 Jun. 2008

This is one of the best guide books I have had the pleasure of owning. Loads of art work, excellent maps, and brilliant written explanations of all the games myriad systems.

The book opens with a foreword written by Hideo Kojima. He states that this guide was written in collaboration with Kojima Productions and to compliment the MGS4 experience. It is fair to say that if it is not in this guide it is not in the game.The How To Play section details the controls and explains how to use equipment such as Solid Eye and Metal Gear Mk.II. The Walkthrough is full of in-game photographs and colour maps. The locations of all weapons and secret items are shown. Multiple strategies are given for each level as is the best way to deal with all enemies and bosses. The Inventory includes the huge array of weapons featured in the game and their attributes. Bonus costumes and face camo is included. The Extras section details all the Emblems and all special equipment such as the Mantis and Sorrow Dolls, The Solar Gun and Tanegashima. An iPod tunes list is also included. The location of all 30 ghosts is listed and The Boss Extreme difficulty is explained. The book concludes with a Synopsis and Biographies of all the characters in the Metal Gear series. Unlike a lot of strategy guides an index is included at the back of the book.With the inclusion of Metal Gear Online it must be said that this guide is truly comprehensive. But it is the quality of the publication which really stands out. It is a joy to read and look at even without playing the game. For MGS4 fans this guide is essential.

a great guide for this very detailed game. it cover the main game very well, with detailed weapons and tactic ideas. it also has a section that fleshes out the metal gear history for those that are new to this game.

The art inside this official book is like any other MGS form of art, which is stunning. If you have not had the chance to play all of the MGS games. Then this book has a handy selection of pages talking about the most imporant people in the MGS world. Best to play the game without using the book to start with, then use it once you hvae had your first play-though. As its the type of game you can play and play. All in all, its backed full of usful information, and detialed full colour maps to help you out. 5 out of 5.

Great guide , the usual from a metal gear guide.Shows you where everything is in detail but after completing the game its still worth keeping.It's got a fictional timeline explaining how metal gear would have fitted in with real life events ( love this )and also who the different characters are.

A fabulously descriptive guide to a wonderful game, even after a few updates this retains usability and is very easy to follow and understand.

Product as expected & quick delivery.

In the condition as described. Shame about the smokey smell the book has.

En el anuncio se indicaba que era en español , pero la guia es en ingles y la condicion decia que era muy buena y esta dobladas algunas partes de la tapa.

ゲームと同時に発売されたとおもえないぐらいの情報の充実ぶりには、正直こんなにのせちゃって大丈夫って心配しちゃうほどです^^;アイテムの位置はもちろんのこと敵の位置、アイテムの性能・価格、隠し要素、称号の種類・取り方まで、ほぼすべてのってます。オンランものってますので安心をMGS4を遊び尽くしたい方には、もってこいだとおもいます。評価は５つけたいところですが、すべて英語ということで４にしておきます。
