Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RN8CX009WUDO0 Prior to getting this book, I've already started on God of War III. If you've already played bits of the game, you'll realise it's not a very complicated a game. Even without a walkthrough, clearing the game should be no problem.
Having said that, the walkthrough is still there if you need it, clear and complete. If you don't want any spoilers from the walkthrough, you can just use the maps provided without reading the walkthrough. Each map has all the collectible items listed, including treasures of the gods (some gods like to throw their stuff everywhere). Interspersed with the walkthrough are interesting stories on the mythology and characters, although they left me a bit confused with the supposedly real world mythologies because of some discrepancies.
The usefulness of this guide is more on the information on the weapons, collectible items, challenges and trophies. They have everything listed. Button combinations for all the weapons and their powers are listed, which helped me saved a bit of time on trial and error (sometimes I miss reading instructions on screen). After you finish the game, you'll unlock the Challenges of Olympus with all its challenges and trophies. If you really can't figure out how to beat those challenges, then this the guide for you.
This limited edition includes additional pages of concept art which is really cool. I wish the creators would come out with a proper art book though. There's also a printed lithograph provided, only one out of the four designs are included. Why not all four?
The negative part is the paper quality, which is soft and flimsy, like those in mass produced magazines. It's not one would like to see used in a limited edition guide.
Overall, this is a very decent guide for the epic game. Recommended to gamers who just can't get enough of the game and don't want to miss anything.
4.5 stars out of 5

Great for Your Collection April 9, 2010

I bought the guide just to add it to my collection. The game is not hard so you wont need the actual walkthrough but you might want to take a peek so you don't miss any chest or secret. The real deal with this guide is the artwork. Amazing full page illustrations by various artists and some backround story of the gods and mythological beings you encounter are great to read and see. I was kinda hopping for a poster to come along with the book but their wasn't any to my surprise. Each ultimate edition guide contains one of four concept art lithographs, which is a bit smaller than an A4 sheet of paper. Anyways, I love to collect strategy guides and I couldn't miss out on this one. Get a copy if there are any left.
Awesome Art Section April 10, 2010

You probably don't actually NEED the guide for anything but if you should happen to need it, everything is laid out very nice. There are neat little factoids about Greek mythology spread throughout and the art section is pretty amazing. I got a section of Hades for my collectible lithograph so I assume I got the good end on that one, lol. A must-have for any GoW super fan.
