Summary: One of the best strategy guides ever
Comment: While Dimension Publishing isn't as widely known for publishing game guides as Prima, this book deserves to be noticed. It focuses on pictures rather than words, and the effect is very easy to follow and gives the player a visual nudge in the right direction. The author, Zach Meston, should be considered the best strategy guide writer today; he manages to be funny (giving us his thoughts and opinions of the events in the game as well as dead-on jokes that will leave you doubling over laughing) and serious at the same time. Here's a few samples:

1. "Run forward. The last three tiles in the floor before the next door collapse, revealing spikes below. Falling onto them will result in an immediate and fatal puncturing of your gastrointestinal system. (Sorry for the crude visual, but I'm just trying to strike fear in your heart.)"

2. "Run forward and shoot the lawyer. Rat. Same difference."

3. "Run straight ahead into the library area (which is filled entirely with magazines and strategy guides from Dimension Pulishing and a copy of the Kama Sutra. Too bad you can't read it."

4. "Wade through the tunnel without walking under the spikes in the roof. (This tip is sponsored in part by the word 'Duh.)"

This deft humor really adds to the reading experience, letting you chuckle as some rogue tiger knaws your kneecaps. Also, the guide sacrifices pages and pages of huge Lara Croft pics for simple, straightforward strategy.

Overall, this is the best Tomb Raider 2 guide you can buy. Forget Prima; Dimension Publishing could stand up to Prima's legion of half-baked books with this single great one.
