Summary: Could've had more
Comment: This guide was OK. It told you the main parts, and had tips for equipping, characters, and items. It told you what to do and how to do it. They also had a large list of items, checklists of where to get them, and what they did. However, there were a few problems. The maps were confusing to read, and weren't that detailed. It wasn't horrible though, because KOTOR has in-game maps anyway. Also, the guide was a bit scattered, and it was made using the test design. What that means is that it has a few items that were taken out listed and some incorrect stats on certain items. Overall, it does the job, but it could've done a better job.

Summary: If you get Knights this guide is essential
Comment: The guide is ALMOST flawless in everyway. It get's you through the game in the most user-friendly way. They have maps (taken from the game though) and they have a nice detailed walkthrough that guides you through the game from start to finish.
The maps aren't that detailed but they help in getting you through the game. My gripe with these maps is that they aren't like other RPG guides where you could enter a door and know where you'd end up. Aside from that using the maps along with the quests guide and main quests guide they've provided is nice. You'll be sure to complete every area fully using these maps with this walkthrough.
I like how they also give you the "romance" and other main quests themes along the way. They tell you exactly how to do them with little trouble and quickly as well.
I like the characters section and such of this guide. Very good with their layout and telling you everything about each character with a nice bio and then they gave you all the info on weapons, armor etc. Also, they detail about most every enemy in the game (but sadly not all of them are listed here).
The appendices are nice and detailed giving you everything you need to know about items and weapons. Little errors are found throughout the guide as most of the information is accurate.
Now, I don't have much of a problem with this and all, but since A LOT of people do I'll mention this. The guide contains TONS of spoilers to this amazing storyline. Really though, it's hard not to spoil a few things in the game. But as I've said countless times, you get the guide to do just that, guide you. It's a reference book that you're expected to look to for help when you need it, not to have it hold your hand as so many expect of a guide. So, yeah, there are plot spoilers to this game.
Overall I'd say 4.5 stars. It's a great guide but I wish the maps could've been better detailed. Plus, the guide doesn't cover all the secrets like you'd expect. But I'd say this is a pretty good buy. Well worth the money.

Summary: Gets the job done...
Comment: ...but that's about it. I mainly used this guide to familiarize myself with the game mechanics and details. That part of the book is pretty well done, although it could have been organized a bit better.
Further down the road, I found this book to be more of a cheat-sheet, than a true strategy guide. I read the book after I finished certain parts of the game to make sure I wasn't missing any side quests. Beyond that, I only found it to be of limited use throughout the quests, because reading it would ruin your game experience. Of course, if you really got stuck, it might be helpful, but that didn't happen to me.
The stats part is a bit disappointing. I didn't find it to be too useful. Overall, I would have wanted a bit more help with the overal game strategy. How do I go about making my light sabre most powerful? Not sure. It's as easy or hard without the book as it is with it.
