Rating: - No Need To Buy - Better To Play
This book, unlike some others, did not really provide valuable tips on how to win. The tips were stating the obvious rather than telling you what to do to beat or win a race. Unlike other Prima books, this particular one did not help me at all. You could beat the Showdown King without reading any book. It just takes a great tuned car and a lot of repair markers.
Rating: - Need For Speed Decal Guide
While billed as a strategy guide, there is little to no useful information regarding the strategy of playing and beating the game. This is probably the worst "guide" I've ever purchased. The one and only reason I thought this might be of use, was that the many of the cars in Pro Street don't tune in a fashion recognizable as sensible or based in reality. You can see on the cover where it advertises tuning tips. Well there aren't any that wouldn't be obvious to all but the most oblivious gamer. The main tuning strategyu goes something like this- buying custom parts allows you to tune your car, while buying upgrade packages will not. Wow, that's deep. They must have missed that awesome announcemnt while playing with the menus after the 1st race. The one plus of this book is that it lists all the decals available to detail your car with. This is great for those types who want to play car dress up. Overall, don't buy this book. Order it via the interlibrary exchange, photocopy the pages you want and return the book to your smiling local librarian.
