    4.0 out of 5 stars USEFUL FOR MAPS BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT, December 20, 2011

    This book is mostly maps of the games areas with datacrons and locations. It also shows the type of enemies that you will encounter in each area. There is minimal information on each class at the beginning of the book. It does not give an explanation of any of the games systems. I had hoped it would explain some about the crafting. It is still useful and has some art work at the end. If you are looking for any detailed explanation of the game's systems this will not provide that. Still a good book and I do not regret buying it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Very little info on class abilities and none on crafting, December 20, 2011

    No, I don't want spoilers, but I do want an extensive description of class abilities and powers and notes on strategies for each. Also, an explanation of how crafting works, and what companion skills go best with each would have been very useful. This book has none of this, which is what "PRIMA Game Guide" usually means to me.

    Having played prior to the official start date, the main problem I encountered with the game was having to play it with almost no information about how the UI works, how the class system works, how the skills work, and so on. On one level, this is fun, and I like exploring this way, but it eventually wears thin. I wanted the game guide to flesh out my otherwise sketchy knowledge of the UI, the class system, and the rest, and it mostly fails.

    I bought this expecting exactly what I got: an atlas of SWTOR's game world. Planets are arranged alphabetically, with maps of each individual area and the NPCs and enemies you'll find in various areas. For planets such as Balmorra, which have both Imperial and Republic sides, you'll find Imperial maps before Republic maps.

    One thing I would have liked to see are locations of GTN kiosks and cargo vault kiosks(I forget the exact in-game term right now, apologies) on the maps. Or rather, judging by the map of Nar Shaddaa that I'm looking at right now, the map key including the symbols used for them.

    Oh, and not just the locations of the datachrons, but also hints on how to get at them.

    Don't come into this book expecting a guide on how to build a character. It's an atlas. It's advertised as an atlas. It does a decent job of being an atlas with bonus concept art at the back.
