Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)

The guide is pretty much like most guides. I has all the maps, item and character bio, and what you need to do to beat the game and get 100%. The only problem I had was a some what hard time following some of directions and finding the information I needed. It took a few rereads to get some of it done. Overall though it is a good guide and it gets the job done.

when i purchased this my daughter was 9 years old. Every time she gets stuck on a certain level she used to complain how she could't play her DS 'cause she couldn't pass the board and how come I don't play alongside her to help her figure it out(blah,blah,blah).Well that's fine and dandy but I don't play the games she likes and the Ds screen is just to small for me to focus on for long-I get very annoyed.This book offers the solution - for both of us she has to read the walkthru and doesn't have to bug me about the game,also she doesn't get as frustrated and goes to the source for her problem.As a mom I Looovvvee it!P.S. personally Sonic games are just too fast visually for me to keep track.

This book helped me out a lot.

This book is great it gives the low down on all badies and stats about each character. It even tells you how you should use each character in battle.

I recommend this guide book even if you're a person who doesn't use it. It has good pictures, a list of all the Chao and some of them which you can only get in certain conditions, character stats, and how to beat certain bosses It also recommends which team you should use and why. For example, your first battle with Imperator Ix, it says what unless you use certain characters, it will be a difficult match. For example, the guidebook says that the easiest way to defeat Ix is to use a team of Sonic, Tails, Dr. Eggman and Omega. Sonic can be used to both heal the party and dish out a fair amount of damage to the boss. Since he always attacks first, he is crucial. Eggman can be used to attack all three enemies with Bombardment because he can kill Ix's men in two hits if his attack is level 3. Omega can be used to attack Ix directly because all of his attacks do mega damage to one opponent and Ix is the big threat. Tails is used to heal both HP and PP to two party members per turn and then use other moves to increase the defense or increase the number of turns one can attack after that. The boss will probably be dead though if you can input all the commands on the touch screen.Sure the guidebook forgets to add certain things on the map which is very detailed and accurate if you want to get every ring and Chao Eggs in the game. Getting rings in the game is important because not only do you need them to buy items from the stores, but you need them in order to continue your game. If you have no rings when your party dies, you probably have to start all over from chapter 1. This might be false though as I have not gotten a game over yet. Who would want to get a game over anyway? As for Chao Eggs, they are important to the game too because they give the character a special ability when bonded with the Chao itself. While it may be annoying to get a common chao, you might get lucky and get a unique or rare chao. If you decided to help Cream in chapter 3, you automatically get her Chao Cheese which is one of the best Chaos in the game, increases the chance of an ambush and a critical enemy.This is the reason why I recommend the guidebook. With it, you can get so much detailed information. You even get notes on what the creators of the game think and their strategies that provide helpful hints. You won't even need an FAQ online if you have this guide book. So if you're stuck, get this prima guide before it disappears because that happened with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle strategy guide!
