Summary: Good Enough Guide
Comment: Again, I bought this guide after I beat the game. I read it and showed me a couple of spots I didn't visit. All in all a good guide.
Rating: 2
Summary: I was Disappointed
Comment: I agree with the review from J.K. Kelley. The guide for HL was fantastic! The ideal book would be the HL guide with the map format in the Opposing Force book.
I don't like the paragraph-style walkthrough. The numbered format in the HL guide is excellent.
The Opposing Force guide does have the information you need if you get stuck somewhere, but it doesn't have the step-by-step information like the HL guide.
Rating: 3
Summary: not as good as the Half-Life one, but ok
Comment: As stated in my review of the guide for the basic Half-Life game, most guides are lousy. Expectations need to be measured against this unauspicious standard.
In comparison to the one for HL, this guide isn't quite as easy to use due to the paragraph-style walkthrough. The numbered lists and formatting in the HL guide were very helpful; this one has more pictures and does have meaningful maps, but isn't as easy to follow when you're playing through a tough spot. The quality of the information is ok, once you understand that long areas of nothing significant aren't even mentioned in the guide. (I don't fault this, but it threw me a time or two early on until I realized it.)
The Marine DI tone of the book gets a little wearing, but is in keeping with the computer game; first game I've ever played where the actual menu choices call you names.:) Other than that, it's fairly readable but not as usable due to the lack of formatting effort.
Probably worth the money if you're having serious trouble with the game.
