 Extremely Helpful Guide November 29, 2008
Had I not purchased this along with my copy of The Orange Box, I would be in the same dilemma as every single one of my friends is: confounded by the maze-like levels, and frustrated at my inability to solve what eventually turns out to be a simple puzzle. This book helped to pull me out of mental ruts where I simply had no idea how to move on, especially in Portal. The guide doesn't spoon-feed you everything however, it leaves the lucky jumps and guesses to you, and thus I have yet to defeat the third to last level of portal. Overall, it is a fantastic guide, and along with the helpful walkthroughs are well-written descriptions of the characters and enemies in each game.

First off, if you don't want to have the ending to the game ruined, stop reading these reviews because J. Boden ruins it for everyone. Also, don't buy the Prima Guide because there are spoilers in there as well. I made the mistake of getting this book when I was half-way through the game thinking it would help me, but I've pretty much figured everything out already on my own. The game Half-Life 2 is built around gently guiding you in the direction it wants you to go. The only purpose this book would serve is if you are absolutely stuck on a level and can't figure out what to do or where to go, then you could consult this guide for tips. But that hasn't happened for me yet and I'm playing on Normal difficulty. The weapons list and enemies list in this book for better or for worse has been copied on the Internet many times, so you can do a quick Google search and find most of the tips for free. This book only taught me one useful thing I couldn't figure out on my own: the machine gun has a grenade launcher (I forgot about the secondary fire option on most weapons). That's about it. I could see this book being useful for people having trouble completing a level, people who really like the colorful maps, or people who want to know what's going to happen ahead of time. If you're already into the game and don't need help, there isn't much here.
