I like official strategy guides as much as the next person, but I bought it when I was already in the game and I got confused about the bits I had forgotten (many). So I stopped playing the game because it felt like I needed to start everything all over again, and, to be frank, I am not very good at video games. A walkthrough with some answers would have been better for me, as this book didn't 'help' me go through the levels, it just mapped out the different sections in the game. What a pity!
Instead of acting as a strategy guide, this book just directs you to a website with the strategies... and though it's been a long time since I've used that, I remember the website being fairly useless. You're better off using a free walkthrough written by a fan or a review site. This book is pretty useless.
The illustrations with the faded pastel colours were my favourite (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠`⁠)⁠。⁠*゚⁠
I found it in a second-hand sale and, like every good fan of the franchise, I felt the strong desire to get hold of it and I did... and it was worth it!
