 A good guide but with a few problems Dec 05, 1999
By Shaun Jackson
This guide was very informative for the most part. mapping out just about every step you take. However, sometimes the book will just say "go to (insert location)" and not even try to tell you how to get there. The monster section was informative but somehwhat of a dissapointment. It did have every monster in good description, but little info on strategies to use against them. My biggest problem, and this mind you is unforgivable to me, the author makes a lame attempt to tell you how to get the rocket launcher. The exact line is something like "A good friend of mine at Capcom told me you can use the lab key to open the locker where the rocket launcher is. I haven't gotten it to work however. Maybe you will have more luck." I got so mad because he failed at it and made NO attempt to figure out how to get the rocket launcher. Yes, the key is needed to open the locker, but first you have to get it imprinted with special clearance data at the computer next to the machine where you purify the water. It was not hard to figure that out but the author made no attempt to figure it out. Extreme laziness on his part. If you got the game, you may as well get the book, I didn't get it until after I beat the game, but it's definately worth the money. ALl in all it's a pretty good guide with very few mistakes in it. The only other minus is that it does not have a weapons chart.

the best guide for the best game Nov 26, 1999
I thought it was the best guide. It got me thru the whole game in less than two and a half hours. It tells you all the secrets, all the characters, and all the moves you can do to get away from the walking dead. They even tell you what all the monsters are like the Tyrant, cybrids, zombies, and giant spiders. I would give this guide more than 5 stars if I could. You should get this guide for the best detailed maps, they describe areas perfectly, and they dont tell you where monsters are. I would rush and get this guide at Amazon.com.

 I honestly can't recomend this guide. Jan 28, 2002
By S. Rhodes
This guide was not very helpful to me at all. Almost no detail in the maps, didn't help out with puzzles (thats not too big but it could've explained how to get the solution), some screenshots in the wrong place and some misleading information.First of all, the walkthrough is very dull. It'll tell you how to get to certain areas, but I found several screenshots in the wrong place, and the walkthrought moved very quickly. There wasn't enough detail to tell me what I'm running into. They don't tell you how enemy placements work, or what items could be replaced as. The Quick-Decisions card was nice, but I could've gotten along without it. Also, the guide doesn't tell you what items nemesis drops. While it would tell me sometimes, something was always missing. The puzzle solutions that they claim to be there, aren't really there. They hardly tell you how to get to a solution. For example at one point in the guide when your searching for a password it reads and I quote "Just look around for a while and bingo! (That's not the password)." The problem with this? What am I looking for? I don't know! It just tells me to look around. Every other guide I saw told me EXACTLY what I was looking for at that point in the game. The maps are from the ingame so of course they have no level of detail in them, making the maps useless. The only thing this guide really did state to me were the secrets. However, it didn't cover too much about the rankings or the mini-game. My Advice, VERSUS BOOKS and BradyGAMES made a guide to RE3 and they're much better than this. (The BradyGAMES guide even tells you what's in Jill's diary!) So you might want to looke away from Prima for this guide.

Like A Perfect Teacher's Aid for the Game Nov 13, 2000
By J. N. K
"Esco"
I have played through Resident Evil 3 about 40 times now. Itis one of my all time favorite games (along with R.E.2), but it wasn'tuntil I had beaten the game a few times when I got this. I boughtthis guide because I kept on dying against Nemesis and wanted help.Well, then I started finding secret items throughout the game, andpretty soon I became the unstoppable player to the point where Istarted to yell down at Nemesis even before we started to fight. I,before this, never knew how to use red herbs, how to make gunpowder C,or the best weapon arrangements. He also went into detail of maps andscenarios that I may never get myself into. He clearly had allplayers in mind when writing this. I learned the secrets of theseries even after I had gone through this game before and itspredecessor about 25 times. This is the perfect aid for people new tothe series, new to this title, and for the hardcore veterans whothought that they had reached playing perfection (like me).
