Helps Wonders [Posted on 2005-08-30]
I use my book all the time. To help myself and to help other players. It is a little outdated in that it doesn't have the badges n it, but being that I have 2 computers, it is no biggie to pull the site up on one and the game on the other. Hubby and I both love it...though I use it more. : ))

Well, it could have been better... [Posted on 2005-09-20]
The strategy guide is outdated, and should be revised for the current issue of city of heroes, the book still refers to the villains "council" as Fifth Column, and there are other things that are clearly outdated, it would be nice if Prima would take the time to give us a quality product, all in all, I would say, if there is a marketplace seller with a cheap price on this, go for it, it's been useful, but don't pay full price for an outdated strategy guide.

Great guide! [Posted on 2005-10-03]
Very helpful guide. Much of CoH is not easy to understand and this guide really helps.

A complete waste of resources [Posted on 2006-02-25]
Sadly, this book was outdated and inapplicable the day it hit the stands. Repeated changes to the City of Heroes interface, infrastructure and gameplay have moved the game so far away from this book it often seems to be discussing an entirely different game. In many ways, it is.

If you're looking for a quick start guide, strategy guide, or even just a collection of helpful hints, this is NOT the book you want.

Buy the Ring-Binder version! It is more up-to-date! [Posted on 2007-12-28]
After owning the paper-back original version of this guide for COH, I bought the ring-bound version. The ring-bound version is up-to-date through Issue #6 and it is in a totally different printed format than the paperback version. It is also designed differently and probably has much better information in it since it was created well after the game had been out for a long while. Go for the ring-bound version if you want more current information. The paper-back version is good for starting, and most of its basic strategies and concepts will help you design a good character with good powers.
