If you think that you would not need a strategy guide to get through the Two Towers, which is basically a hack and slash game, you would be very wrong...dead wrong in fact.Although at first look, the game looks like just a lot of button mashing and waving your sword around, there is a fair amount of strategy to make it through. For example, in the 3rd level (The gates of Moria) you have to fight the watcher in the water to finish the level. When I first fought, I assumed that I could just hold down the "Block" button, and block the tentales. 3 tries later, my frustration point was at a boil. Then I looked at the book, and discovered that I had to tap the button rapidly to block the tentacles. On my next try, I killed the beast with ease.
In Balins tomb, I had a lot of trouble defeating the cave troll and finishing the level. Then I learned after reading the book that I had to do a double hack, then hop back with the L2 button. These types of examples are found all throughout the book, where it reveals all the nessisary tips that you would need to make it through the game.
Other then these life saving stratigies, the guide has maps to guide you through (altough they are kind of vauge in detail). They also reveal all the cheat codes, and how to get the secret unlockable charachter.
All in all, a worthy guide.
The good:
Reveals life saving tactics
has all the cheat codes
overall, a good buy
The not so good:
maps are vauge
